Expected 17 for your team? : Fri Nov 21, 2014 11:41 am  

From what I've seen of the signings of each team so far this season could be extremely close and have a lot of unpredictable results.

I'll start with my team Wigan...

Bowen
Burgess
Sarginson
Gelling
Charnley
Powell/Williams
Smith
Mossop
McLlorum
Flower
Farrell
Tomkins
O'Loughlin

Tautai
Clubb
Patrick

Pretty happy with that to be fair, massive pack, skilful half backs and and experienced, if slightly unathletic backline.

I to am happy with this squad, I'd love to know where this lack of quality that some are banging on about is. I have helpfully bolded those who would make most SL teams whilst the rest are pretty much all experienced players and grafters at this level - the usual recipe for a top 8 contender.

Shaul

Lineham

Given that Wakey are on paper the weakest team in the league their starting 17 is pretty good. You would think their only problems will come late in the season when fatigue and injuries take their toll. They have proven plenty of people wrong in the past.

The league is looking pretty strong in 2015.
