Along with Kotoni Staggs Herbie was the bright light in the worst ever Broncos season

Mike Cooper over Ryan Sutton.

Sutton went well in the second half of the year for the Raiders. You will have seen more of Cooper than me obviously but I'd drop Watts before Sutton if Cooper is playing that well.

I rate him to be honest, showed up pretty well at international level when given the chance IMO. Had a good year at Warrington.

He's a very good player but, while he is "good" in a number of positions and could offer great utility value in the squad, I wouldn't have him as first choice FB.

I've see you want Tomkins at full back (fair enough) but struggling to work out who you're advocating for in the halves as you don't seem to rate any of the other options.

Been our best player for the last two seasons along with Clark. Slogs his guts out every single week and gives 100%. Makes lots of metres, tackles and offloads and puts in 80 min performances. He's carried our pack these last couple of years. Outstanding front rower.

Decent reliable player Ratchford. It's a shame Jack Walker has never really kicked on. A few years ago I'd have said he'd be England's next fullback for the next 10 years.

Perhaps Walker was a little overated , but it is injuries that have really held him back !
