B.Smith looks good but how many mins was he playing at hooker? Is he going to be as explosive playing 80mins? Plus other teams will do home work on him now.

I see our backline like this atleast for round one.

1. Guth 1. Bevan
2. BF 2. Sivo
3.MJ 3.Parry
4.Taka 4.Hoffman
5 GJ 5. GL / Dunster
6 Moses 6. Salmon
7 Brown 7 W.Smith

If Salmon plays centre I wonder who gets the other half spot for Wenty? And we seem to have a nice amount of options for the wing.

The rest

8 Alvaro 8 Evans
9 Mahoney 9 Kaysa
10 Terepo 10 Stefano
11 Lane 11 Niakuore
12 Tepai 12 Gower
13 Brown 13 Stone

14 Manu 14 Davey
15 Mannah 15 Fa'ainga
16 Jnr Paulo 16
17 Kafusi 17

Eighty minute hookers get trampled, but if you’re going to carry a spare on the bench one of them needs to be able to play somewhere other than dummy half.

Which is why he’ll remain in Melbourne’s top 17 even with Cam365 in the squad.

Maybe why we getting Stone some time at hooker. If its just for a 10-15min period he prob be fine.And he can give 15 -20 in middle. Carrying Kaysa means maybe Rheed for 55-60 and Kaysa for 20-25 at hooker and 10-15 at lock.
The other option is Taka on bench. Salmon in centres who can give 10-15 at hooker.

W.Smith also an option. He gives great cover in backline 1,4,6,7,9..... But if no injuries then lot less use. I for one like W.Smith on bench for this reason.

So basically you really can’t see how our backline will look for round 1
