that backline isn't going to strike much fear into other teams.
I hope for Parra fans that Smith is just playing around with ideas and doesn't plan on keeping it that way or think that's his strongest line up for the backs.

Who knows what Brian Smith ever thinks.

Its a TRIAL match. Two more after this one and no doubt a lot of tinkering in between before the first round. Extremely unlikely that Morrison and Tahu will start the season off the bench..... ;-)

I hope PJ goes well.

Five of the seven new signings are named on the bench, interesting. I know it's early days but I wonder how they feel about that? Especially Tahu and Morrison......

Morrison won't want to play the trials anyway, they get no T.V coverage so the SOO selectors won't see him

If they use the team that they are using against the sharks (or one similar to that) then Wests Tigers will push them over like a cardboard cutout
