I reckon Symonds plays best on the right, running off DCE. They seem to have a good understanding of each other there. However with the talent we have, it is hard to see him as our starting back-rower, but given he has never been mentioned as expendable in all reports so far I can see him getting much more game time than we all think.
You'd have to think that Kapow will be playing in the middle somewhere with Myles and Jake T.
Which means Maeto, Brown and Burher are probably fighting over two spots (Left edge or the bench). Personally I'd pick Burher (he's younger, great mates with DCE) over Maeto, who's "X-Factor" I don't believe we have seen or need with the current pack and backline we have. But Brown and Burher are very similar...
I reckon, round One will see:
8. Jake
9. Api/Parcell
10. Myles
11. Burther/Brown
12. Symonds
13. Kapow
14. Parcell/Api
15. Brown/Burher
16. Lussick
17. Lawrence or Maeto (Depending on how many mins the coaching staff reckon our middle three can play)
If Kapow doesn't get fit enough to have the impact, I think we will see him move out to the edge to terrorise wingers (which will still be good, but he should be trying to continue to have the same impact in the middle or long mins). Burher can play big middle minutes if Kapow comes off for a rest, and you can replace him with a Left edge player (Brown or Maeto), so I'd prefer him.
Barrett will play two hookers in the hope that forward packs cannot manage with the reduced interchange.
