      That's not gunna happen.

    I can't see this being the side at kickoff.  Watch for changes.

      Totally agree mate if this is the staring team we will be smashed at the start again

        Tigers are slow starters as well so hopefully they are the same again.

    Joash is fast but he will get ragdolled all night

    Williams isn't a prop, better suited to lock.  Jnrs doesn't bend the line or make decent meters.  How is it that a professional club has zero starting props ffs.

    Mark o'neill is 💯 % a useless kent. No foresight,  no negotiation nous, no idea
