If Hayne was playing I'd give Parra a chance. Between he and Sandow on their day they could conjure up a few tries which would be a few too many for the Broncs. Will be a good battle up front.
I'm most interested in how our 6, 7 and 9 go. With Norman, there's going to be a lot of pressure on him. He also can go missing in matches and his defense leaves a lot to be desired. On the other hand, he's shown he has a lot of talent on occasions, and if he lives up to it, he could be the type of player that we need. With Wallace, I haven't really rated him for years now. He's a very boring and ordinary halfback, with one of the dumbest running games I've seen (in terms of deciding when to run the ball). In his first couple of years, he has shown that he was better used as an attacking 5/8th, so hopefully we'll see less halfback shuffling and more 5/8th-ish attack. With McCullough, I've always thought he could be an orsm player. The main things that stand in his way are consistency and ego. He improved last year after being dropped for not attending a practice session, and now in his 4th year (though still being a 21 year old) he needs to become more of a senior player.
Sandow and Roberts together in the rain, along with all the other coconuts in the parra team... should be interesting.
Moi Moi was close to if not the best prop in the comp last year, can't believe he's not starting. Will probably drop 5 balls now that I've said that.
Cant wait to see Hoffman play again TBH. Losing him, while not as huge as Locky, left a massive hole in our side. He has put a bit of size on over the off season too so should be promising.
