[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 790938, member: 70552"] On the commute to work and jotted down a few names that I see challenging for a spot in the Lions squad 2017. Mainly gone for those with experience and also who had previous experience in the 2013 squad. Those in brackets, are those who will challenge and possibly replace those not in brackets, depending on form or injuries. Props Can Healy - included because I think he'll have a point to prove after getting injured in the last Lions squad.
