2023 Squad : Wed May 11, 2022 10:20 pm  

This is just for a bit of fun to see what Squad people would like to see in 2023 for us, with the players currently OOC from other teams.
Now my squad is only based on rumours, linked players and hearsay, as obviously until players are confirmed as being released by us and we confirm who we've actually signed we don't actually know.

It'll be interesting what peoples thoughts are and who they rate and don't rate and would like us to sign. But my team below is just a possible squad if the rumours etc are true.

1. Matt Dufty
2. Greg Minikin
3. Peter Mata'utia
4. Toby King
5. Matty Ashton
6. Riley Dean
7. George Williams
8. Rob Mulhern
9. Daryl Clark
10. Gil Dudson
11. Ben Currie
12. Kelepi Tanginoa
13. Oliver Holmes

14. Danny Walker
15. Joe Bullock
16. Same Kasiano
17. Joe Philbin

18. Josh Thewlis
19. Ellis Longstaff
20. Connor wrench
21. James Harrison
22. Morgan Burgess
23. Jacob Gannon
24. Tom Whitehead

I'd keep the below but i'm unsure if we will keep them?
Mike Cooper, Matt Davis + Billy Magoulias (he seems to be slowly getting better with each game so far) and Ratchford.

2 other players we are linked with are Rhys Kennedy and Paul Vaughn, but the Mole said he's heard the rumours are false so i've not counted them as he's right most of the time.

Thewlis
Minikin
King
Mautatia
Ashton
Dufty
Williams
Vaughan
Clark
Dudson
Holmes
Tanginoa
Currie
Bench: kasiano, Harrison, Walker, Longstaff?

That would be mine if we are to get all the players we are targeting…

I didn't realise Dufty could play in the halves to be honest, i assumed he was an out and out fullback. I would like to see Thewlis keep the no.1 myself

If that actually does become our team for 2023 then we are going to be in bigger trouble than we are this season.

If we sign Dufty and drop Thewlis I’m sitting the 2023 season out. That would epitomise the reasons why Warrington’s progress has stagnated since 2013.

I’d keep Cooper, but bulk up the backup options in the forwards.

Right wing maybe is a weak area if we need to replace Charnley. It would have to be a value for money option to free some cap up for the forwards. Maybe we could go the Hull route and sign a big south sea islander?

Yeah that's why i'm surprised we are linked with him to be honest as for me Thewlis is the clear successor for the no.1 spot. Unless he can indeed play in the halves and that's what we are looking at him for, with Riley Dean as back up maybe?

If that's our collection of props going into 2023 then it's still not good enough. We need to be aiming higher than that, especially with letting Cooper go.
