Not to mention people like Dan Smith, I'm sure he's solid but we have plenty of those, don't see the point in that signing personally, hopefully just a rumour.

With Frawley and Uate confirmed and Woolford more or less confirming the Brough/Grix swap deal in the next couple of days. What would everyones starting 17 be? Id go:

Darnell
Jerry
Leroy
Wardle
Uate
Frawley
Gaskell
Taai
O Brien
Matagi
Mellor
Murphy
Bruno

Seb
English
Roberts
Leeming

Jordan Rankin - Utility cover
Jordan Turner - Could he make the move to LF? Cover for centres and halves
Dale Ferguson - 2nd row cover
Paul Clough - Prop cover
Adam Walne - Prop cover
Colton Roche - Prop/2nd row cover
Daniel Smith - Loose forward cover
Butterowrth - I expect him to go out on loan to Championship
Sam Wood - Season long to Batley
Jon Luke Kirby - I expect him to go out on loan to League 1 or Dual reg
Sam Hewitt - I expect him to go out on loan to League 1 or Dual reg
Tom Holmes - Not sure well see him next year. Think by the time hes fit he may go out on loan to champ for rest of the season.
Oliver Russell - I expect him to go out on dual reg and play 8 or so SL games
Louis Senior - Wing cover
Innes Senior - Wing cover

I expect us to lose 2 more players in the next couple of weeks, most likely Rankin and Adam Walne.

Woolford said he expects to sign 1 more new face before the start of the season and I expect that will be a forward.

This is the time now for the young players like Mellors and English to kick on and surpass the likes of Murphy and Clough for a starting spot in the squad.

id have ferguson and clough starting

not sure who will be the full back yet

or who will kick our goals

Re: 2019 Squad : Fri Nov 02, 2018 5:07 pm  

they were trying to mould dan smith into a loose forward but it just seems to never get going!

sounds like ikahihifo is staying which is a boost for the pack

Tom and George Burgess are both OOC at present. Could we persuade one of them if Seb did go??

With our 2 oldest players gone in the off season, our oldest players are now Paul Clough, Ukuma Taai and Akuila Uate at 31 years old.

Re: 2019 Squad : Sun Nov 04, 2018 5:21 pm  

jordan turner playing at loose forward could be a great move

he can kick goals too

Re: 2019 Squad : Sun Nov 04, 2018 9:16 pm  

I wonder if anyone at the club is wondering whether they should have offered Connor a few pence more. What a mistake, we're potentially weak in one of hb centre or FB, problem would have been solved

He was already offered more than anyone his age has ever been, he turned it down, the club tried desperately to keep him.

That doesnt mean anything, it's about ability not age
