I believe those who will be running with Aubs are too ashamed to admit it publicly and will just run with him in their squads while keeping it on the down low till after round 1 lockout.

Really really want to. And probably will.  There hasn't been a season where I haven't had him at some stage over the years and normally have the luck with him at the right times.

Any others there that could take minutes away from McInnes?

Mighty Fishes wrote:I'm surprised Havili wasn't named to be honest. By all accounts he outplayed McInnes and their attacked way better when he was on the field

Not surprising they have locked up Croft until 2019. You think Cronk will retire at the end of next year and with Munster at Fullback all they would need to do is sign a #9 to replace Smith. (If we are just focusing on replacing the big 3). I wouldn't be surprised if they made a play for someone like Lichaa or McCullough who both come off contract at the end of this year. Could easily back end their contracts with all that cash.
