This should all be on display in the JLT series...results are not important but method is and I want to see how hungry the newbies are for a game...eg OShea and Mullet should be competing to get Dochertys spot ...Dow and OBrien might also be in with a chance to both play round 1 so its exciting times..add Pickett/Garlett and we for the first time in years we actually have competition for places and Bolton has said its going to based on form so I expect all those blokes to be firing up....
Yep, spot on elwood. I'm the same as you. Interested in who's hungry and wants to 'fire up' form wise. Doubt Bolton will be just handing guys like O'Shea and Mullett a senior HBF spot. They'll need to earn it. Those two, plus Byrne and Williamson will be in a race. Wouldn't discount the likes of Cuningham, Garlett and Pickett getting some game time down back also. They have the zip.
All the kids. I'm looking forward to watching all of the kids we have plus the other newbies such as Lang, Kennedy, Mullett and O'Shea.
Big Harry McKay forward in a key post with Charlie Curnow is mouth watering. Pat Kerr should not be discounted either.
