I'd agree with that, except I reckon that Hinchy deserves a start at lock. He's been playing good footy for the majority of the year.

It will all come down to pre season. The 3 young guns in Widdop, Kelly and Chisholm will battle it out. Mind u if we snare Maurice Blair then he will take the 6.

Also if we get Reni Maitua imagine a starting second row of

11. Sika Manu
12. Adam Blair
13. Reni Maitua

Now that would be a sight!  ;D

Chisholm absolutely smashes Widdop. Chisholm is top 3 fastest at the club (Includes NYC,NRL and NSW players)

It will be Widdop, they have already committed to running him at 5/8

They brought him up because Widdop was still injured.

reading the opposition.

Is it all about speed playing 5/8th i would say its more about dictating play and reading the opposition.

Chisholms defence, attitude and size are the main reasons widdops been given the nod for 5/8 next year, not to mention widdop isnt exactly a slouch or a far inferior attacking player either. The pecking order to partner cronk in the halves in 2011 goes:

1. Widdop
2. Kelly
3. Kostjasyn
4. Smith
5. Hinchy
6. Chisholm

With a fully fit squad I'd expect to see something like this from bellyache in round 1 next year:

1. Billy Slater
2. Matt Duffie
3. Chase Stanley
4. Dane Nielsen
5. Anthony Quinn
6. Gareth Widdop
7. Cooper Cronk
8. Bryan Norrie
9. Cameron Smith (c)
10. Adam Blair
11. Sika Manu
12. Kevin Proctor
13. Ryan Hinchcliffe

14. Todd Lowrie
15. Stan Waqa
16. Jesse Bromwich
17. Rory Kostjasyn


Personally i'd go:


1. Billy Slater
2. Matt Duffie
3. Justin O'Neill
4. Dane Nielsen
5. Anthony Quinn
6. Gareth Widdop
7. Cooper Cronk
8. Bryan Norrie
9. Cameron Smith (c)
10. Adam Blair
11. Sika Manu
12. Atelea Vea
13. Kevin Proctor

14. Ryan Hinchcliffe
15. Sione Kite
16. Jesse Bromwich
17. Chase Stanley (Impact wide running back rower)

Excellent article and spot on. We're in a helluva stronger position with Inglis leaving as opposed to him staying. Bring on next year i can't wait!

If thats the case then Luke Kelly first, daylight 2nd.

Actually bit miffed about BG comment that theyve "committed" to Gareth. Hopefully that just means all things being equal, as dont want him to get complacent, competition is good.
