I think the team will see in round one will be:
1. Boyd
2. Vidot
3. Reed
4. Hodges
5. Copley
6. Milford
7. Hunt
8. McGuire
9. McCullough
10. Blair
11. Glenn
12. Thaiday
13. Parker (C)
14. Gillett
15. Garbutt
16. Gavet
17. Oates
Certainly a pretty strong, all round balanced team. I think we've got a good mix of youth, experience, size, aggression, strength, mobility and speed. Parker at lock is only a good thing, as he'll be playing 80 mins once again, while Thaiday will be back to his edge.
I think Thaiday has coped a lot of flack from BHQ members, but I think it is a little unfair, especially since he hasn't actually played on the edge since 2011. Although he hasn't had much impact attacking wise at prop or lock, his defence has been quite good. He's made a heap of tackles which goes somewhat unnoticed. I remember times throughout the season that he was just chopping blokes in half one on one.
