Rhodes is a sure tackler and has great endurance, though he is not so quick as he should be. Brooks is a strong guard, blocking well and a slow and sure tackler. He played last year. Corbin, centre rush and captain, is a powerful man of long experience in foot ball. He is considered the best centre...
