  It depends on many things namely injuries, and form!!!
  
  I think its great we have so many talented players "on tap" they will all push each other and only the best will get picked, but its a shame we have have so many proven potential players that some are going to be forced into Park Football!!
  
  The real issue area is with Inu Grothe and Burt and Potentially Reddy all in great form but reality is one of these guys will go onto the Bench to make way for Tahu!!!!

    one of these players may be forced out of the side, theres no point on having a winger on the bench or a center

      Yeah Grayson Goodwin is the younger brother of Bryson and Bronx.
      
      He plays in the backs as well. Supposed to be pretty quick I heard.

  Marty Lewis retirement? What? He's 21.
  
  And Jason Baiteri and Nathan Gardner are a big loss. I hadn't heard much about that.

    I'm guessing he's decided he's not going to make NRL so he'll concentrate on other stuff. I think I remember reading in Big League he was studying at uni, so he's likely graduated this year and looking at a non-footy career.
    
    As good a players as Jason and Nathan are, I think their size will be against them making it in NRL.

  I still have my doubts about the Robson/Mortimer combo..... they work welll together and are good enough to get us in the 8 while Mateo/Hayne are fit, however to win the big games we need to go with a bit more creativity IMO. Our red zone play needs to improve more and the central figure is Mateo who I believe should play 6 until we have a dominant 7.
  
  Wouldn't be suprised if Robson becomes a backup halfback again.
