How about stop messing with the rules so much?

How's he going to fit in with Tedesco and Suaalii? From what i've seen of Suaalii, I expect he'll play in the centres initially

Bit late with that Graham aren’t you? He joined Saints a long time ago and has been in the UK in pre season training for the past month or so!

I’d love to see it played in NZ

Sharks are far too good and should make the 8. I agree on the first 3 though, but still can’t see them finishing higher than 12th at best. Be interesting to see how the Cowboys do, they’ve been pretty woeful recently

Who do you think will finish below them?

Looks like Adam Elliot took a fancy to Michael Lichaa’s missus and he didn’t appreciate it too much https://amp.nine.com.au/article/73369726-2a6e-4bd9-85bc-ded6415f0236

The Dogs will be cellar dwellers again

The Titans need a good rake and some leadership to take the strain off the halves. Smith would be ideal for them and in many ways the missing piece in the jigsaw. He would be playing behind a dominant and powerful pack which would suit him. If they picked him up I could definitely see them a challenging for the top 4

Immingham is a fair trek . It’s a real bug bear of mine that the Hull clubs haven’t spread their wings into North Lincolnshire.........there really should be a cluster of clubs there. Didn’t know there was a club in Mansfield these days, do you have any more info?

Quite.............after Canberra had given him a lifeline as well. Another misdemeanor and he'll end up in SL!

The 2 Coreys continuing the long held off season tradition

My understanding was that Mead left because they were looking to cut costs and weren’t looking to replace him

That would seem to indicate that Folau won’t be back at the Dragons then

Jeez, they must be desperate

Is this the new Toronto thread?

Never gonna happen. They might as well merge if that was the case

Wakey’s actually looks possible. I don’t know what Cas are gonna do cos there’s no way a new retail outlet is going to be built

It'll also be interesting to see how Trout gets on under the tutelage of Ian Watson. I was a big fan of Trout and was disappointed to see him leave Leeds

Smith and McLelland could easily be probables, but it's more difficult to judge with halves, as they often develop later. I understand your thoughts on Welsby, but regardless I'm sure he will win some caps...........even if it is for his utility! Smithies I can see developing into a more Greg Bird style player (a grub some would say!) I just don't rate the Senior twins. They have a good physique but have huge flaws in their game and I don't want to be too unkind to them, as they're still very young. However, I have question marks over their defence and their determination/desire. Perhaps it's a confidence thing, but they don't appear like they believe they belong in senior first grade. Whilst they have good physique, they don't appear to be athletic/speedy with it............so I can see them establishing themselves in SL but not further. I would be glad to be proved wrong. It's a big season for Walters. He's suffered from injury since the Schoolboy tests, but with a good pre-season I think he can really kick on and have a good season. He's still got some filling out to do with his tall frame

Definites: Havard, Newman, Welsby Probables: Smithies, Holroyd, Walters Possibles: Smith, Trout, McLelland, Wilson

I laughed at the fact that some people are so dumb that they fail to understand the difference between ‘objects’ and ‘supports’

Done, thanks

This Edinburgh probably could, although no one knows what numbers will return post covid. Glasgow more difficult to judge as they’re a very new team/club

It’s more of a blow to him than the club.........he ain’t that good
