Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3341840, member: 9853"] In the absence of any news, I'd like see what everyone thinks will be the first team of the season. This one's not about who you would pick, but who you think Kevvie will pick. We don't have a lot to work with from training spies so mine is mostly based on a continuation of last season with a couple of new faces. List your team, and rate your confidence level on each position with a percentage. For the bench, just rank them in order. Don't worry if you're heavy in one position. For example, there's going to be at least one prop on the bench, probably two, but maybe not three. But because you know there'll be two props, the likelihood of one of the props being on the bench is still higher than a centre. The chance of Walters OR Paix being on the bench is higher than Mead, but the chance of Mead being on the bench is higher than Walters AND Paix together. If you get what I mean. Here's mine: 1. Niu(80%), Cobbo (20%) 2. Oates (100%) 3. Staggs (100%) 4. Farnworth (70%), Cobbo (30%) - Farnworth on seniority only. I would pick Cobbo. 5. Cobbo (70%), Farnworth (30%) - as above. 6. Kelly (50%), Gamble (45%), Walters (5%) 7. Reynolds (100%) 8. Carrigan (100%) 9. Turpin (100%) 10. Haas (100%) 11. Capewell (100%) 12. Riki (90%), Robati (10%) 13. Hetherington (100%) [B]Bench (in order of likelihood)[/B] My guess is two props, one second row, and one utility back. James Kennedy (Flegler is suspended) Robati Walters Gamble Paix Kelly Palasia Piakura Lee Mead Isaako For me, the big question is Gamble or Kelly at 6, but also whether the other would work on the bench if they miss out. I can picture Gamble as a utility, but not really Kelly. If Kelly is at 6, then maybe Walters will pip Gamble on the bench. But how do you leave out Tyson? The next question is who goes to the wing: Cobbo or Farnworth. Received wisdom is Cobbo will be fullback by the end of the season. If so, why not just put him there now? Or send him back to play fullback in the ISC until he's ready. But, then again, why would you drop him when you have a wing spot to fill? It will be a tough question for Kevvie. I'm hoping he will send Farnworth to the wing and keep Cobbo at centre. But I'm betting against it. [/QUOTE]
