Apparently the guys have had a great off season and have trained really well.
I would say only Newton would make the side if fit - Hughes and Hall would probably miss out even if fit - and maybe Tanner or Price might get a bench spot.
Richardson is a stronger player than Hughes.
Quinn is better than Hall.
With the improvement of Kidley we have our stongest halves combination since the Johns brothers teamed up.
Our outside backs are all class now - with every one of them being a rep player if you count Quinn's junior Kangaroo appearences.
Our forwards are all rep players except Woolnough and the bench guys.
I don't think we have ever gone into a game with a fitter and more credentialed side than we do tonight.
