A interesting mixture of experience and young'uns. I guess we'll have to postpone our vents until the final team is named.

you guys are way too quick

It will be interesting to see the ins and outs once the bench is down to 4. I hope its meredith and johnston in for bird and playfair

Very interesting to see Johnston there! Tell you what, it could have been a lot worse. Not that it usually means that much, but Richards being near the end bodes reasonably well.

Hoping (like I'm sure many of us are) that the bench goes: TDL, Johnston, Meredith/Vespa, Pyke.

At least we're guaranteed 1 of Johnston, Meredith, TDL, Vez

**Hartijon** · 8th July 2010, 06:17 PM

Wow! At last the selectors have been proactive forward looking and not reactive and back ward looking.Win or lose,something will be gained by playing this this team which looks great on paper.Putting O'Keefe CHF at last recognises what we all know : the forwards need restructuring! LJ needs to get senior game time, TDL also needs more time and Meredith is a potential best 22 .Sorry ,the proforma now sucks UGG,this is a good team!

Interesting no White.

On the interchange I'm guessing Pyke, Vez, TDL and Bevan. I wish it was LJ but I think this is his first appearance on the list.

Agree about the bench.So much will depend on how and where these new guys are used. The best scenario will be if they are given a simple task!
