I may have missed someone and I haven't included Leuluai because he wears 7 and normally plays in the halves, though clearly he's a world class player and if he plays at hooker he's as good as anyone in the comp, bar Roby.
There's a lot of quality there.
The following are as good if not better than anyone in SL (not just Wire players): Lima, Mossop, Hock, (the massively underrated) Hansen and O'Loughlin.
Close behind we have players like McIlorum and Prescott.
There is then a really good mix of solid players who any club would want, very exciting prospects like Dudson and Hughes who look to have what it takes to be stars for the club in the future, plus a few kids trying to make their way into first team football, which is what you always want to see.
It's a superbly balanced squad in the forwards.
We've got some very talented backs - in Tomkins we have the best player in the competition and in Finch (with the possible exception of Dureau) the best half back on form at the moment (SIGN HIM UP IL!) -but we don't have the strength in depth in the backs that we do in the forwards and there is no way I would claim otherwise in relation to the backs. It's injuries there that could cost us trophies this season. We can afford to lose quite a few quality forwards and still be able to put out a pack that will cause any side problems, but we don't have the same strength in the backs.
