JASON CRUMP VERDICT:

"The Lions also look really high quality, a very tidy side. Max Fricke, Sam Masters and Ryan Douglas are usually very consistent.

"Luke Becker will expect himself to go up a level this season. If he can do that, they really are in business. Kyle Howarth and Drew Kemp can both be very good in a winning side. Again, I like the look of them."
