Sumners Picked Team Coaches View: Well we've gone with a fairly experienced group of players. A very different looking team to last year aswell. Like i said early last week, i will try a lot of players in different positions to try and work out where they play best. Ben Rutten who was All-Australian Full back a couple of years ago will start at Full Foward this week just to try things out. Andy McLeod will start in the forward pocket. New recruit, Brad Moran will start in the backline, where i think he could do a lot of damage being his height, and with his athletism he could run his opponent of his legs.
Brad Symes will start in the centre. Symes is relativly fit. So he will run through the midfield with Scotty Thompson and Nathan VanBerlo, so maybe we have a fabulous midfield building along here with those 3, Brent Reilly, Bernie Vince, Chris Knights and Jason Porplyzia, things are looking bright for us.
