Will it be like Manly, Stewart always wears the 13 but plays second row and Watmough always plays lock in the 12.

It will be like whatever we want it to be like. A number is just a number.

we have 4 specialist props in the side (providing we use our bench again), + parker so really i just see it as an opportunity to ease the workload on parker a little and allow him to do a bit more wide running on the 3rd or 4th hit up, as well has not be in the middle defensively all game.
should allow us to finish the game more strongly ala last week.

Same thing that was said about Kodi Nikorima. How can he play 6 for the Broncos when he isn't even first in line for Wynnum?

I was just joking about the Parker in 12 thing, I know he'll be playing lock and Gillett on the right edge. Though I would prefer if teams just named them properly, because rep selectors and the media can be absolutely retarded about that (ie. actually picking or advocating someone like Glenn Stewart as a genuine lock)

Its not actually like it was when we had the Clydesdales as our feeder team ... we can only re3quest where a player plays, the ISC team still has final say
The difference being we do have control over our under 20s team and IMO, that is an inferior comp to the ISC. and Kodi wasn't playing well enough in the 20s to keep the 5/8 role. he started at 5/8 and got moved to fullback, where he has played well. even after Duncan P, was elevated to the ISC, Kodi still didn't get the 5/8 role.
from all reports (especially given the Injury to Taylor) Duncan P is the closest to being ready to a call up to the NRL side. hopefully a few more ISC games under his belt and he will show he is ready for a crack.

I like the look of this team, Unbreakable. I don't get why people are bagging it. Reed's form is improving in the last 2 games - let's hope it continues. I like the look of your bench too. Wallace is in good form and hopefully Granville will get another run.

Fantastic news. I really feel for the kid. Let's hope his injuries are behind him and he has a good return. I thought he had a good year last year. He reads the game well and is deceptively strong. Looking forward to seeing him back in a Broncos jersey.

It's not my team Captain, it's the team that Griffin named for Friday's game. :P

Gavin Badger is the control ref. I don't mind him actually.
We have a 2-1 record against Souths with Badger as the ref.
Overall, we have a 17-1-12 record with him as the ref.
Although the video ref is Bernard Sutton. The same guy that awarded the obstruction try to Manly, and guess who the control ref was?

Lol sorry - thought it may have been a wish list. It's the best team Griffin has named in a while. I think the penny might finally be starting to drop. I expect us to be really competitive come Friday night. Can't wait!
