Just thought I'd do my team for a bit of fun.

Glad I don't have to pick the squad on a matchday, I can't believe some of the players I've left out but here goes.

Greenwood

Brown
Taylor
Tyrer
Saltonstall

Place
Johnstone

Ambler
Holden
Moore
Manning
Divorty
Murell

Maneeley
Calahane
Tangata
Robinson

I can easily see this side in the top 4


Can't wait for the season to begin.

I agree with your optimism but that's tempered by the fact that we don't really know
how good half the squad is.

Miles Greenwood couldn't tackle a good dinner , has a bit of speed , never rated him at Leigh, however I still hope Fax do okay as I like to see a happy Halifaxjohn and Bentley man.

I did I think he is a very good player.

I would go the same only difference is I would have Mennell start at Hooker and Maneely coming off the bench. I think Holden and Maneely are too alike so I think maybe one will miss out. Nice having 4 props in the team capable of doing 3/4 of the game which could make a big difference.

The main word being DID



I was glad when we showed him the door , he can't tackle but neither could Fieldhouse, the meeting of the Fax pack and the Leigh pack should be good , I can't wait .

Happiness is my middle name, Charlie, and whatever Miles can't eat I will help him.

Good to see the focus turning to the players and the RL, here's my two penneth for what it's worth, without knowing how pre-seasons going?

Greenwood (class act despite what the clown from Lancashire says)

Brown
Tyrer (gets the nod just due to goal kicking ability)
Saltonstall
Saxton

Place
Johnstone

Ambler
Mennell
Calahane

Manning (full 80 mins)
Divorty (full 80 mins)
Murrell

Subs
Maneeley
Tangata
Moore
Taylor

For me it's going to a little nerve wracking to see what standard our Aussies are at, let's hope its the one positive thing we can take from the last regime. Would also be great to see Taylor, Saltonstall and Maneeley make names for themselves.

Looking forward to it.

1.Greenwood

14.Maneely
15.Cahalane
16.Tangata

think Murrell at 13 gives us more options when kicking in general play and better with ball in hand as well

agree

Why couldn't KH see that Murrell wasn't a half back? Although tbf Murrell picked himself in the halves.
