Ability wise I think winterstein and Kavanagh could play secondrow ahead of Haggerty.Maybe we can find a goalkicking centre from oz or wherever.If Ah Van is injured I think Haggerty can kick.Craven,Gilmore, and Owens can kick goals, but I doubt they be starters.But I do rate all of them youngsters.

Just got my stronghold txt. He's signed a 3 year deal.
It's all coming together nicely.

Latest team for mine:

Briscoe
Flynn
Isa
Dean
Ah Van
Watts
Hanbury
Cross
Clarke
Davies
Cahill
Winterstein / Haggerty
Allen

Moore
White
Pickersgill
Kavanagh

I wonder if he'll be tempted to throw Hanbury in the centres? Go with White in the halves?

I like the look of that and think it will be strengthened a bit more yet. I would personally opt for Kav at 13 to see how he goes rather than Allen, but Betts obviously rates Allen.

I'd pick Kav at 13 too if we can get another prop in. But we're pretty short at the moment. Undoubtedly though for me, our best chance of success is to play big in the forwards and have that extra prop locking the scrum!

I like Kavanagh,I think he could well go on to be a really good player in SL with us,still a young man so time for him to develop.

i cant wait for out increasingly beasty pack to crunch mr 'classic bailey' next season

Aye, I have also changed my game plan, haha, and would go for Kav at 13, eventually as we get better he can be replaced by a ball handler / support player (like Finnigan) but to hit the ground running let's get plenty of big men out there.

IIRC James Graham used to lock the scrum a lot when he first came onto the scened at Saints too.

If SL were kicking off tomorrow i'd go with...

01 - Briscoe
02 - Flynn
03 - =#FF0000Dean
04 - Isa
05 - Ah Van (GK)
06 - Watts
07 - Hanbury
08 - =#FF0000Pickersgill
09 - Clarke
10 - Cross
11 - Cahill
12 - Winterstein
13 - =#FF0000Moore

14 - White
15 - Davies
16 - Finnigan
17 - Kavanagh

Looking to add a new right centre, a prop that could see Kav 13 and Moore 9/14 or a new loose forward entirely.

Martin Gleeson, Brent Kite (ok Nick Fozzard / George Rose), Rob Purdham and a bit of wing cover would do nicely for me

I would like a Goalkicker to be signed just incase Ah Van gets injured?I also think Ben Kavanagh could play Secondrow, and i prefer Moore as starting hooker.I wait to the final signings before nameing my team.How about Tony Martin from the Crusaders?I am sure he is a kicker.

Signed for Hull FC mate.

We've got a few kickers haven't we?

Got the likes of Craven and Kurt Haggerty but looking at a lot I'd people's guessed lineups neither of this would be in leaving just Ah Van. Another name linkedwho is a cracking kicker... Rob Purdham?

Mate i was worried as thought in my starting 17 only Ah Van could kick goals.I believe Hanbury and Watts can kick if Ah Van was injured.I am unsure of having Kurt Haggerty in the starting 13 and i know Gilmore,Craven,and Jack Owens can kick but they wont start too often.Be nice if a few youngsters get a chance and stand out though.

Like to know what is happening with Mullaly as i would have him in the squad.

You hit the nail on the head there mate.Purdham,Senior, or Gleeson and a prop should be the next signings.

On 18th Man it shows players who are off contract, but i do not know how good they are though.Shaun Berrigan have heard of though.Maybe Twitter man can update me.

Is he not retiring? He certainly seems set to move back to Cumbria..

He initially said was returning to Cumbria but I'm sure I saw a quote from h saying he was thinking about playing SL but closer to home for another year or so.

That's a good point. It's essential we've got a good kicker in the first team at all times.

As I keep banging on about every season, it's over a third of your points. The times we've been without a decent kicker have often been the most despondent for the fans.
