So who will Sir Wayne go with for (at least) the opening part of the season?
13. Prior
9. Young
BENCH: Fien
or
13. Young
9. Fien
BENCH: Prior & perhaps King as impact hooker
If The Charity Shield and selections for this week vs. Dogs are anything to go by it looks like we're going with Prior. I was quite impressed with our back-row depth on show the other night. As we already know we've lost a lot of proven NRL experience in the back-row for this season and this may bite us if we get long term injuries. Can the likes of Bosden, Cuthbertson, Gower, Marketo etc stand up to the rigors of week in, week out NRL footy in the even of long term injuries? Will we need to manufacture some back-rowers i.e. Emmett and Tagive? Will Young go back into the back-row/lock full time?
