My opinion for the Dragons:

1. Dufty
2. MacDonald
3. Aitken
4. Lafai
5. Nightingale
6. Widdop
7. Hunt
8. Vaughan
9. McInnes
10.Graham
11.Frizzell
12.Thompson
13.DeBelin

14.Sims
15.Sele
16.Ah Mau
17.Leulia/Host

Apart from Dufty we are a pretty slow backline which could do with an injection of speed from players like Zac Lomax(no FG experience but a very promising junior)and Jai Field(super quick with very limited FG experience). Kurt Mann is also lurking in the shadows.

I just can't see Supercoach taking anything other than a conservative approach to Rd1 vs. Broncos. He was pretty stubborn last year so it's likely to remain that way for a good few rounds as well(not a problem if we are winning).
Unfortunately, that would be our side to start the season except with Mann in the 17, inexplicably giving us 2 props on the bench, an extra prop/lock to play 15 minutes at best and a back in case of injury. Further resulting in another burn out around Round 12 when Mary keeps pushing our starts through niggling injuries instead of giving them a chance to rest up.

I'd much prefer to see.
1. Dufty
2. Mann (Nighty doesnt offer enough anymore IMO)
3. Lafai
4. Herbert (Aitken needs work, Herbert deserves a shot)
5. McDonald
6. Widdop
7. Hunt
8. Graham
9. McIness.
10. Vaughan
11. Thomspon
12. Friz
13. JDB
14. Simms
15. Ah Mau
16. Leilua
17. Nichols (McInnes needs to rest at some point!).

Mate, you know better than most the debate about player selection for this year & potential line ups for 2018. The sad truth is Mary being adventurous is about as likely as Rolf Harris being invited to perform at a school carnival.
Player burnout it will be meaning another roller coaster ride.
