Holland averaged 45 in 10 games at starting center, he kicked in only 1 of those 10 games. Kicking was just going to be an added bonus if he got it.

Don’t be surprised to see little-known hooker Billy Brittain make his NRL debut for Souths this season.

Brittain, 23, was a standout as the Rabbitohs thrashed Riverina 52-10 in Albury last weekend.

The captain of Rabbitohs’ feeder team North Sydney, Brittain joined Souths last year after stints with Melbourne Storm and Brisbane Broncos, as well as the Sunshine Coast Falcons.

Souths boast the most dynamic hooker in the game in Damien Cook but veteran coach Wayne Bennett is wary that his star number nine may burn out over a long season.

With his back-up Robbie Farah leaving Souths and Cook certain to play State of Origin football, the stage is set for Brittain to earn his stripes this campaign.

Full side, means Egan is a no go I gues.

If it is a full side with Leota, Fuimaono and Sele, then those are pretty damn interesting cows.

Yeah a few top line players missing, DWZ, JFH among them.

Whare, Tamou, JFH missing, they'll play in those positions. Cleary, DWZ also first 13 players out.

Couple of other notes from the trial teams kind enough to give us numbers not squads.

Tui Kamikamica at prop for Melbourne, NAS lock (no JBrom or Finucane). Kami is 2rf in the system but if he gets into Storm's prop rotation is a beast and will make money with 30 mins.

Souths, Surgess 12, Murray 13 as expected in full strength pack. AJ 1, Allan 2. Campbell Graham in centre but would expect him to wing when GI back.

To elaborate on KW's post, Drinkwater has been chosen as fullback for the trial vs Warriors whilst Hughes in jersey 14
