After 2 weeks of training, Adam Newman is still a long way away from fitness after a week on holiday.
The 4s will be taking on the 5s on Saturday morning, with an 11am Kick Off Scheduled in Copers Cope Road. Assistant Manager Andy Vanston will be absent due to "work commitments" and his commitment to the team has already been brought into question.
Both teams will be looking for the first win, but all eyes will be on Steve Uwins' orange cutting ability and how the 4s will manage without old Gaffa Simon MCG. With no ref scheduled for a friendly that we all hope will "ref itself" according to HC, there will no doubt be some controversial moments in this season opener on Saturday.
The start to what will hopefully be a successful season for both teams
