McGahan started before Christmas and Solomona started yesterday. I see the the OS updated the profiles of the players that were here last year, It is always fun to read the previews for this year.

At the risk of seeming mega-dumb...what's the OS? Official Site? if so, I didn't see that bit re Ben Hampton...

Aside from that, been watching the last few 2010 games of the boys this past week before going back to work & I CAN'T WAIT for the season to start! They had clicked & were looking so dangerous. I think they are going to be a force to be reckoned with in 2011.

The bit on Ben is on the front page before you go into profiles Chip, were you can scroll across......apparently Mahe can clap with one hand :o.

Agree on how good they were lookiong and they will be so much more dangerous this year with a domiant 6 in McGahan and a genuine playmaking fullback in Loxley, who I think people will really like the look of

..and yes OS is official site.

McLean is 6"6" and at least 115kg. I really hope it clicks for him as his yards per carry is of the charts

...And Tohu could play firsts this year, he's more then up to it.
