Lots of intangibles... I didn't really notice this great leadership, experience and communication in our big games last season.

I am basing my opinion off watching him in the NRL, and since he came to us... not one friendly games where he quickly passed to Russell because he was about to get smashed as soon as he caught it... schoolboys can have that type of "decision making".

We will see this year if he stays at fullback, but I am stating I don't think he has the legs, strength or decision making to be a top player there, which he would need to be to justify his big wages.

Tell me Ron. Are you any relation to Frankie Abbott?

.....or Frankie Pickering!!!

When he keeps the ball in his own hands he can be quite devastating, his passing to the winger can be terrible or just non-existent.

Evans is of the same mould but nit devastating with ball in hand

He's in the squad again I see. Undroppable.

I suppose if the whole squad were fit, my 1-7 would be....

1. Gidley (Johnson's time will come)
2. Lineham
3. Currie (back row would be Hughes, Savelio, Westerman)
4. Atkins
5. Penny
6. Ratchford (if fit, he has to play)
7. Brown
