Is Cornish injured? Wighton is a very very good centre in the making partially thanks to his ball playing qualities, but he's still no Jamie Lyon and shouldn't be playing in the halves.

Is Sam Williams injured or just shit?

Option B, I don't think he impressed Price in the Charity Shield.

 

[Alec]

If anyone is shit, it's Steve Price....the coach Price.

Sam Williams is just what they need with that spine (just like us, a natural organiser with quite a bit of talent to boot)

Is Cornish injured? Wighton is a very very good centre in the making partially thanks to his ball playing qualities, but he's still no Jamie Lyon and shouldn't be playing in the halves.

I don't think he's injured so it is kind of weird that Sticky isn't playing him, maybe he's saving him until Round 3 when Campese's knees self destruct.
[MENTION=8374]Bushman[/MENTION] can probably provide more info on this.

[Alec]

Watmough and Lawrence will really have to carry Manly's forward pack this season (and not even just in middle, but in general). Even with the best spine in the comp, I wouldn't be surprised if they struggled.

 

[Broncoman]

Thank god the footy is back so pumped and excited for the season to start.
