This is a good move in my opinion, could be entertaining and will be interesting to see the talent

 

[Fro]

My money is on a load of last minute "injury" withdrawals.

No team will be real keen on risking their guns in an exhibition match before the season starts.

George will get picked and break his leg.  A nothing game.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Wonder who our player will be

I am picking Choc will get a run in it. Brett Stewart won't get the fullback spot with the way Hayne is playing

 

[DSM5]

Hayne and Slater are ahead of Stewart.  he needs the off season to get fit and his head right.

I think the fans vote for team like in the US, which is a good idea as we know everything!

 

[The Wheel]

I got a tip dont vote for Manly players (as per points above), vote for the players we fear most in opposing teams

I think its only 1 player from each club (yes I know that is only 16 players!), but I may have read it wrong.

 

[Fro]

Tony Williams is a certain starter.

Who would notice (or care) if he was injured?
