who off the bench... roberts?

looks weaker than previous seasons does our second row/loose combinations.

All because a fella couldn't keep it in his pants!
With huby out too taai may be needed up front!
Connor is really going to have to step up this season iMO.
As for off the bench- may be we won't need anyone- Hinchcliffe can easily play 80- start at 9 then switch to LF?

i think anderson will go with the youngsters and see how we get on till huby is back

at prop mason/johnson/dickinson can step up

2nd row hard to know if he will opt for wardle to go in the second row again

roberts will def get a chance i feel , upto him to take it

Josh Jones coming back to SL after a brief spell in RU. I'd be surprised if we weren't interested, will have a relationship with Balloo as well.

We've ruled it out according to Totalrl. But theres the possibility of Jamie Buhrer allegedly www.loverugbyleague.com/news_205 ... ip-18.html

Don't know much about him but sounds to have pedigree and has won things. Coming back from a knee recon so might be a gamble.

would think we would be interested in jones being young, british and we have links with saints with purtill/anderson , cany say i know much about him though, cant look good for connor at centre if we brought jones in.

Regardless we need the depth and the competition. Perhaps connor won't be long term centre?

22 old utility player is just what we need at this moment in time

brough interview on total rugby we need a couple of new player not happy ferris sold to leeds his tone not a happy man

yeh brough talking top 8, anderson talking top 4

think we all agree we are abit light in the sqaud this year , we will just have to be patient and hope some youngsters surprise us when they get their chance like simpson did last season

I got the impression it was ferres he wasn't happy with not the selling of him....

jools is not happy with him going to leeds making them a lot stronger side

Has anyone got a link to the interview please?

just google total rugby league, danny brough it will come up

Nice one ta

Brough not happy it seems. Does not think the squad strong enough it seems. As the Captain it is not the message he should be sending. Time will tell if his pessimism will be proved to be true. Would help if players would stop punching walls ! Can't wait till we play Rhinos.

think we could maybe do with a good back up back,maybe Hallett could be that man? and possibly a good ball playing 13.
but at the moment the squad looks OK,
potentially
FULLBACK
Grix,Simpson,Murphy,Cudjoe, Connor
WINGERS
Jerry, Murphy, Simpson, Cudjoe, Connor
CENTRES
Wardle, Cudjoe, Murphy,Connor
HALF-BACKS
Brough, Ellis, Robinson, k.Wood
HOOKER
Hinchliffe, Robinson, Leeming, k.Wood, Ellis
PROPS
Huby, Rapira Crabtree, Ta'ai, Smith, Patrick, J.Johnson,Mason,Dickinson,M.Wood
BACK ROWERS
Ta'ai,Smith, Lawrence,Patrick, Wardle, Roberts, L.Johnson,

for me i think we need a second rower

we have lots of 2nd rowers,i think that is the position we are more than covered for?

Whenever I've watched Melbourne storm on premier sports Ryan Hinchliffe has played loose forward, I can't remember him playing hooker.

playing hooker for us though this season confirmed by anderson

then younger lads like roberts, not sure where wardle will play

doesnt look as strong as previous years that

why LARD back but not good enough for wigan so offload him ferris missing most of last season wardle stepping in and hungry youngsters stepping up the powers that be telling us what a good crop we have waiting for a chance we will be competitive and looking for open rugby wont mention the word
