Another thing that stands out for me is the hooker role. Our strength this year is our pack and IC will want someone to drive the pack forward (and maintain defensive structures). He will also want to identify players who can feed off our big boys and strengthen the link to Brookes and our backs. I think IC will test out both McIlwrick and Reynolds at hooker to see who can drive the pack.
The other thing of interest against Cronulla will be the tactics we use. There were some very obvious tactical plays last week so I'll be watching for those this week - that is if it is televised.
Finally - it is just a trial so everyone should cool down.
