i like proctor on the right side better than at lock. imo k brom plays better in the middle and would love for him to get some quality game time there.

vave and moors have to be close to getting picked too

Yea its a strange one tbh. Fonua on the bench doesn't make much sense.

Excited forGareth being FB and the inclusion of Hampton in the halves...but what is Mahe doing on the bench? :?
Would have loved to see K. Brom there, no lie.

I thought Kenny might have got a run, but haven't seen the last couple of QCup games to see his form.
Excited to see Hampton get a run at 6 - give us a look at what our 5/8 for next year does in the top side.

I think Fonua might get a run at some stage in the second row. With his size and playing style, this is where he will be in the next couple of years anyway so might be an option, whilst providing coverage for the outside backs if something was to happen to the halves and Widdop is moved back up

Pretty happy with the side tbh. The Mahe on the bench is a little confusing but I can't see him playing monday night. I think one of Moors/Kenny B come onto the bench.

Widdop at the back is where he should be and I can't freaking wait to see Benny play. Pumped.

has anyone heard if we have named a captain?

i would expect hinchcliffe but there are many solid candidates (finch, bromwich, norrie, proctor or ryles are all experienced campaigners).

whats the deal with Vave, Setu and Moors not getting any love ???

I've actually been pretty impressed with all 3 this year.

Does Garbutt deserve his front row spot ahead of Vave and Moors ?

I know it's hard for Lagi to get into the 2nd row but he is a seriously tough unit.
Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time
