This is my guess as well.  I think the biggest question at this point might be midfield pairings.  I like Thomson and English being paired together, as I think they will have very good box connection (like how Thomson had it with Alex Simmons last year).  Stevens seems like too good of a player to be on the second midfield, but that is where he played at Princeton, and he might relish being "the guy" of that unit.

It seems silly to keep English and Stevens separate given that they have spent their last eight or whatever years together at the same institution (Culver then Princeton), but I don't think they played on the same midfield very often for the Tigers.

The only thing I don't know if I love is Birtwistle and Rhoa being on the same midfield line, just given that they are similar players (big shooters, who can dodge but it maybe isn't their strength). I still like the idea of Mule moving the midfield and Birtwistle starting at attack, though we haven't been given any indication that would ever happen.

Agree, I could see them running Mule out of the box a few series and putting Deere at attack to get him some minutes.  They have Hiltz, Deere, Mule and Leo as lefties so seeing how they mix and match them should be interesting. All are natural attackmen. I do think there will be some mixing and matching as the season progresses, (just like last year).
