Happy to see Thomas Cronan in the official picture. He was great in our 20s team last year - completely fearless.

He's wider across the shoulders than nearly everyone. Much bigger than I expected.

Makahesi Makatoa is an absolute beast too.
The training galleries really didn't do a lot of these guys justice. Topi Taufa looked smaller than Aiono in a number of them but here he is clearly bigger. Will be really interesting to see how the Mounties side looks.
Considering some of the hype around Magnus Stromquist I'm surprised not to see him in the photo. Considering how many forwards will end up playing for mounties from this team photo it'll be interesting to see if he's even in the Mounties top grade.

I've been saying on here for a couple of years now that Cotric was built like a brick outhouse- I was a teacher at his school when he was in year 10 and he was built bigger than guys like Fenno and Croker even then.

the blue strips down the sides look ok on the players too, better then I expected
Sia will need to be in the back row on the end next season if his son doesn't grow some hair by January next year....

Even though BJ is slighty standing back, Jordan Turner looks as big

Nic Cotric...what is he, 18?
Eddie...what have you done for me lately?! Wow, Eddie's gonna have to be on his game to keep Cotric out of the team in the near future.

I zoomed in on my phone and was looking across the players and then saw Sezer and Papalii's facial expression.

FoxSports has it described as 'Epic team photo troll', that made me giggle more than Papalii's "That's high enough Aiden" look

Hopefully they photoshop it so it's in front of the meninga stand as well.
Thye didn't photoshop it to be in front of the Meninga stand but they have removed the sign on the posters they gave out last night.
