Why is Inglis still at No.6? I thought Smith was meant to play there?

Exactly,

Will be intersting to see who Hinhcliffe will replace though,

Initially,  I thought he would replace a back row foward, but play hooker

And Quinn might get a run in the pack, with Cam going to 6, Inglis to left centre and Isa on the wing,

Remebering that Quinn got runs in the fowards last year when Geyer was used off the bench to play wing before Chambers injury,

But I dont think Quinn has the fitness right now,

Isa may move to the bench to accomodate the position changes.

That's okay, we've got NRL On Fox to watch tomorrow night with Cameron Smith featured (although the Sea Eagles have ensured they'll get most of the exposure) and then the new format Footy Show on Thursday night (I'll actually watch the first one but doubt it'll be any better than last year's crap).

Looks like a very strong team, I think that squad will roll the Dragons easily.

Sika Manu is out, strained his hamstring in training today.
MELBOURNE Storm coach Craig Bellamy has been forced to go to Plan B after second-rower Sika Manu strained his hamstring yesterday.

Manu, who had been named for Friday night's season opener against St George Illawarra, limped off Visy Park less than 30 minutes into Storm training and was immediately ruled out of the Olympic Park game.

Bellamy will have to turn to one of his back-ups, with recruits Wairangi Koopu and Matt Cross in the mix to replace Manu.

hopefully Koopu gets the nod before Cross, and i think white will be put in at 10, blair to 2nd row, koopu to bench

I would prefer Koopu over Cross, Koopu did well wit the warriors previously.

Who did Cross play for previously anyway?
