Message: [QUOTE="Major JW Hochstetter, post: 2086208, member: 1828"] Not totally comfortable with this team yet, as we're only a few weeks in. 1. Hunt 2. Inglis 3. Gasnier 4. Hodges 5. Folau 6. Anasta 7. Thurston 8. Bailey 9. Smith 10. Civoniceva 11. Laffranchi 12. Hindmarsh 13. Johnson 14. Mason 15. Hoffman 16. Crocker 17. Lockyer Lockyer hasn't played alot of footy for a while but I don't think he should be completely discarded. His attack has, under the circumstances, still looked reasonably sharp in the short amount of game time he's had. His presence alone, if anything, is just about enough reason to have him there. By the time the Test comes around he'll probably still be plagued by a little bit of soreness as his doctor suggested, so perhaps (and this may be a bit of Bronco bias coming out) a bench start may be the go in what is usually a very physical opening against the Kiwi. If it is decided that by either form or fitness Lockyer won't be playing, then i'd throw Gidley the 17 jumper. This is also the closet i've come to not considering Hunt. Slater's form simply can't be ignored at present and, unlike Bowen, Billy instills a bit more confidence in me with regards to all areas of his defensive game, which will be alot more important in the Test arena. Nevertheless, Hunt still has the runs on the board, hasn't let the team down in the past and is enjoying decent form himself at the moment. The pack, though impressive, isn't the most mobile option available but its a bit of a horses for courses situation in a Test against the Kiwis. Size, experience and a player or two with ball playing ability should suffice. Don't have a problem with playing Inglis and Folau out of position for this game. They'll manage and Inglis has done well there before. [/QUOTE]
