That would show a real lack of confidence in frawley. Smith said in his press conference that it'd be sinfield and frawley. Id imagine johnsone is just in the 21 as cover for any late injuries.
Wouldn't be surprised if he went with Ackers and Sinfield in the halves as per last week. Might explain the Johnson recall.
Johnson played a blinder in the reserves last week, will be interested to see if he makes the game day squad.
Whoever plays right wing for us is going to need a good game against Johnstone. You'd imagine Cats will come down our right hand side all day long. I think I'd be tempted to play Jack Smith in this game with Edgell on the bench again.
Smith looked good in the preseason game he played, kid seems to have good awareness, size and pace. He should be the next cab off the rank as the saying goes. I'd rather give these kids the gametime than Roberts for example.

I just think he has some toe, not as much as Johnstone I'm sure, but maybe enough to cover breaks. He is more a centre than wing but you could swap him in for Lumb maybe. We're in "least bad" selection choices now so we're going to have to compromise somewhere and hope for the best bascially.
How the pack goes against Cats will have a much bigger impact on the outcome of the game than who plays on the wing. Hopefully we can try and match them up front. If we do that and defend well we could go close. Get rolled over down the middle and concede easy yards then it will be a long tough night!
I don't think we should get rolled, hopefully. I really can't pick this one - I was considering travelling to it this year for the first time but maybe next year!

It will be a rare event to match any decent side upfront
