    Didn't Sam Christie do some kicking in the trial games?

    Sheehan was practicing kicking at training yesterday, he also used to kick for Warrangah rats expect will share duties with SC and SNK.

    I thought it was the other way round with Sheehan- not reliable but can knock them over from 50. Pretty sure he used to take the bigger kicks for the Force even when we had JO'C.

    Hopefully we can be competitive, Hodgo and Browny can hopefully lead from the front.

    ODriscoll and Tuilagi vs CTM and Stubbs could be an issue

    Some of these blokes were here pre-season. Some have been here for a couple of weeks training apparently.

    Met Corey Brown at the trial match in Darwin. Hope he carves it up, a really good kid.

    Let's hope Stubbs brings his huge hits to the party - will give BOD and Tuilagi something to think about..

    I would have liked to see the team that has turned out for us on the last two occasions. This seems like the '1st' team after many different combinations have been trialled (minus MMM).

    How much game time has Battye has this year? Foley prefers Walton off the bench. CTM has not been good enough for a minute of super rugby this season and Brown was not good enough to win an EPS spot with us. Yet they are all good enough to run on against the Lions. I assume the other players listed in the squad will be benchwarmers and not touch the paddock unless someone is injured.

    That team is the sacrificial lamb placed on the lions alter. It will only help ease their premiership players new to the squad into their combinations so they can rev things up later against the wobs. I would have hoped that we could have given the Lions a bloody nose.

    The ARU and the club have hyped this game to the max. Different stadium for a bigger crowd, limited release jersey and festival of rugby but the team line up tells us they don't really care. I can only surmise that this is not about the contest nor the rugby, but an exercise to remove further coin from our pockets.

    Just hoping now that the force can make the result respectable.
