The Canberra Times - "The Gamebreakers"
Jason Smith v Michael Monaghan
Monaghan has made the shift from halfback to 5/8 but won't get any honeymoon period coming up against Smith. smith will again prove to be Canberra's pivot this seson. Any sign of Monaghan slipping up and Smith will make him pay dearly.
Lincoln Withers v Matt Orford
Orford has spent a preseason only with Manly and while he would obviously have learned combinations with his teammates, will not have the experience with the players around him as Withers does. Withers linked brilliantly with Jason Smith last season and with that valuable game time under his belt, can lead the way for Canberra this season.
Alan Tongue v Ben Kennedy
Kennedy is the grinding type capable of wearing down opponents with brutal strength while Tongue is the vibrant, agile forward who wears his opponents out with his speed, energy & agility. Two very different players, yet both very effective in the way they approach a contest.
