I reckon Nikorima will be at 6, Corey Parker spilled that it was a rookie on 9 news the other night.

Yeah, I know. But Kodi is still a good option
I honestly don't see the point of Parker at prop just to fit all of Gillett, Thaiday and Glenn in the back row. Really pointless IMO, especially when it means it will force both McGuire and Kennedy on the bench (most likely with Hannant starting?) I haven't waived from my views about 5/8th from what I said last year either - I prefer Strasser to get first crack.
Just thinking, Thaiday at lock is so bizarre, like really bizarre - Gillett is a better fit at lock for me anyway. Hopefully Parker will stay lock, but I'm not counting on it

Thats only about the 3rd or 4th guy the media have tipped to get the spot ... the media have no idea who it will be. but if one of the players they have previously tipped to get the spot is actually named, then they will act as if they knew it all along.
I think Griffin may be messing with their heads !!!

I have good news and bad news after watching ball work training session today if it actually resembles the team.
Once they finished their left hand and right hand side attack and defensive drills. The team did a full 13 man session which had Vidot on the left wing (good news) and Maranta (bad news) on the left. Note that they were not interchanged for the entire 15 min full team session. They look locked in. Mills and Drew were both there fit and defending.
More bad news, Hoffman was never on the wing. Both he and Barba played in the middle both changing sides. It was hard to tell who had the 5/8 role due to the constant switching which tells me Hoffman will be named at 5/8 and they will probably share the role.
To make matters worse, at the end of the ball work session, both Barba and Hoffman went behind the post for bomb practise. Hoffman then practised cross field kicks to Vidot.
Kodi N never once filled in the halves. He just defended.
Kennedy and Hannant started as well but that really doesn't mean to much but based on what i saw today the team will be:
Barba
Vidot L
Reed L
Copley R
Maranta R
Hoffman
Hunt
Kennedy
Mc
Hannant
Thaiday
Gillett
Parker
I think it there will be 4 forwards no hooker on the bench
Lowrie
Maguire
Glenn
Molo ???

This is Griffin we're talking about here, Hoffman will play at 5/8 in attack throughout the game also. He fucking loves Hoffman for some reason.
We can all hope Hoffman is only at 5/8 in defense, but $20 says that he will be doing more than defense.

They were both taking bombs but Barba did the most. Hoffman certainly practised cross field kicks and grubbers which is not a good sign.
Actually its a good sign if you want Griffin gone by Round 4.

Unless Griffin turned into a spin doctor during the off season and didn't want to play Kodi in front of the cameras then I can safely say, he didn't touch the ball in the 13 man 15 minute drill. He defended with Mills, Marmin Barba, Drew and the rest of the forwards.
Should be interesting tomorrow when the team is announced.
