Probably the 2 biggest surprised for me are
(1) Jake Long getting picked in the starting lineup
(2) Draper not getting a go at all
Jeez, Jake Long eh?
That is our best fit 26.
Happy that Stringer is among them.
Edit: wonder what’s the story with TBell?
Keen to see Long in the backline.
Still hope Draper gets a run.
Didn’t TBBell say last week that he’s ready to go but the plan is just to give him 1 JLT game?
That makes sense. They wouldn’t want to overwork him, because he’ll have a very big year ahead if he stays fit

nackers bum steer was a load of bollocks.
No Zerk…nonsense
Love the midfield as named. Basically read it to include Shiel and Zaha pushing up from half forward. That centre square - oh my!
You’re fired!
Not really.
I hope Mitch Brown maintains that half forward spot all year. I know everybody has really varied opinions on it but Brown was great last season.
Interesting to see Stewart as an emergency. I don’t think he’s best 22 but this is a big team.
Cripps on Langford. Killer Mike’s wet dream.
We’ve named weaker teams than that for premiership points in recent years
Hahaha. Yep, looking forward to Langford exposing Cripps for the rubbish hack that he is. (in sarcastica font)
No Woosha video to explain the team?
That’s a dam good squad for JLT 1
LONGY
FC have named Cripps so obviously not good enough
For …
