It will be great to see Patrice in Falcons colours for the first time, that s exciting. Hoges will start at lock, for his leadership and aggression. Added to the mix of players to have tasted the NRL include Danny Levi, Rhys Kennedy and Ethan Bullemor of Norths, making for a mouth watering contest. Mawhinney hinted that Baptiste would start at hooker despite admitting the squad was still getting up to speed with his dummy half play. The versatility of Noosa Pirates affiliate Sam Burns looks to have won him a place on the Falcons bench in a role similar to that of the Storm s Brandon Smith.
