Brock looks great in metro Perth rugby. It's where he belongs too

ChiselHead I think u r spot on with that team...... maybe swap Hodgson with Horua would be my only change, gee I hope we dont get too many injuries this season.

I can't see Hodgson/Brown/Pocock working too well as a back row. They are all too much in the same mould. Where is the line-out jumper? Where is the 115kg provider of go forward ball? Any two of those three in the backrow is great but you really need a guy like David Pusey or Horua or Stanford etc to do the bashing and jumping.

As much as I hate to admit it the Waratahs backrow last year was a benchmark for the competition. You've got two high workrate/aggression guys- Elsom and Waugh- in Elsom you've also got your extra jumper and finally you've got 120kg Cliffy Palu to make the bone crunching tackles and suck in defenders on one of his charging runs over the gain line.

Forgotten about Brock........ maybe MacKay will do better over there too not to mention Henjak

I couldn't agree more. I like a massive 6 or 8 to take it over the advantage line. I think the locks need to be a bit more mobile and athletic these days......but massive. We have some good young locks to learn from the best in the business (SHARPIE). I'm still worried about our front 3.........but maybe the young fellas will step up?
