That's encouraging, a stronger pack will make a massive difference.

If Arthur stays true to his word then Holroyd should get in to the 17 ahead of Lisone based on yesterday`s performance.

In terms of covering the loss of Sivo. I’d imagine Lumb gets first go. Once Miller is back we could put Handley back on the wing and Jake in the centre.



Also thought Jack went well at 9 and he might get a little run there while Jarrod is out.

Don`t think it`s been mentioned but I was disappointed with the crowd of around 5500.

When you would think at least 10000 would be there.

I`m sure that was down to the weather compared to the Saturday and Monday it was horrendous.

Shame Handley suffers financially as a result.

Testimonials and friendlies have always attracted poor crowds (other than Boxing Day).

Good to see Pete Smith giving young O'Connor a chance of being ready for round one. Would be a timely boost.
