2017 Predicted Best 22

[Big Mac]

Was Frost going into the ruck when Gawn was off/forward last season?
If he did and they intend to play Spencer this season to backup Gawn would that put Frost behind someone like Omac

Pretty sure wattsy went into the ruck

I'm convinced Salem is playing more mid minutes this year :D exciting stuff! I did think Vandenberg was in favour until his injury. Dom Tyson still might not get up, likewise Garlett. But yeah, Melksham & Bugg have been solid... I have neither a good or bad opinion on them atm.

Also, cross Tim Smith off your Round 1 list  :( have not heard a thing about him for like a month now

Assuming Watts plays well tomorrow, I wouldn't expect Spencer to play Round 1.
