10 questions as the new season approaches

[MrPartridge]

Looking forward to the friendly tonight, but here are the 10 questions I'm focusing on:

1. Who is best equipped to play number 8?
2. Who is our best 10?
3. Who is our best 15?
4. How will Will Evans perform this year?
5. Is Manu a superstar or an injury liability?
6. How do we get the best out of Ed Slater?
7. How do we get the best out of Harry Thacker?
8. Are Ayerza, Cole and Croft on the slide?
9. Which of the new signings/development players will have the biggest impact?
10. Can we sell the stadium out more than 2/3 times?

Any thoughts re: above... or burning questions of your own?

Answers to all of Harry Thacker and Thomas Waldrom.

1. It should be Williams, Evans and O'Connor at 8 but Cockers wont have the guts and will keep O'Connor at 7 and McCaffrey at 8.

2. Burns

3. Veainu. Tait is doing an Ugo monye and conning a salary out of Tigers this year, way past it.

4. Well if he gets enough game time or we could lose him

5. 12 months ago I would have said superstar, now I'm verging towards injury liability but I hope I'm wrong

6. By putting him on the bench

7. By releasing him

8. Cole is still top draw, Ayerza and Croft have seen their best days

9. Toomua if he stays fit

10. Possibly, depends if 4-8 are competitive enough in the league and Europe this year
