I hope that looking at that the Dr/Harris may just have a couple more up their sleeve, a centre 3/4 maybe and an experienced gnarly prop. Do we have any update on Rapira's situation, is he coming back?

looking at the list I feel a little more comfortable , of the named 29 26 , have had SL experience , and some are quality interchanges , average age of the squad has lowered aswell with Meli Gleeson retiring .
I would doubt Morley would be able to put a similar shift in 2015 , and i don't know if Rapira will be seen again .
as for additions , if any I would anticipate them being ones for the future rather than 1st team walk ins.

We seem to have a decent blend of experience and youth. Hopefully they'll become tight and do what Cas managed this season gone. There's no reason why we can't but it's all down to the pre-season and how the players bond again. Head down and hard work should hopefully set us up to hit the first few games running.

Just been looking at the online shop and the replica playing shirt. You can have any first team players name for a tenner on the back and was looking through and noticed Kieran Gill and Matty Gee are an option. Which I presume means they have taken the next step-up? I missed any announcement if it was made. Anyone?

Re: Salford best 17 for 2015 : Fri Oct 31, 2014 12:44 pm  

No Rapira, no Owen, so there's a couple of questions answered. Eight non-fed trained players too, so there's another question (partly) answered: someone must have an exemption.

Wonder if you'd have gone for Bailey if you knew he was going to be off too Humberside? Undoubted tool but still a cracking prop.

What's everyone's starting 17 with the newest signings included. Here's mine

1. Locke
2. BJB (Evalds whilst he's injured)
3. J. Griffin
4. Sau
5. Johnson
6. Chase
7. Dobson
8. Moz
9. Hood
10. Tasi
11. Hansen
12. Patterson
13. Hock

14. Fages
15. Taylor
16. Weller
17. J. Walne

Just my opinion but think we are still short of a class hooker!

Re: Salford best 17 for 2015 : Sun Dec 07, 2014 7:55 am  

1. Locke
2. BJB / Caton Brown
3. J. Griffin
4. Sau
5. Johnson
6. Chase
7. Dobson
8. Taylor
9. Lee (feel Hood will have to earn his stripes)
10. Tasi
11. Hansen
12. Patterson
13. Hock

14. Fages / Hood
15. Moz / A Walne
16. Weller / J Walne
17. D Griffin / Pulletua

Think the starting 13 will pick itself, too many combos to chose from to know what the bench is gonna be.

Just hope the young lads don't get disjointed and see it as an opportunity and being developed to eventually replace the likes of Moz, Pulletea, Griffin, Dobson, Etc, with the docs enthusiasm there's a great future ahead for the club if things start to click on the field.

You'd really have evalds instead of MCB?
