So the big man wants to win, So who do we play

For me I would have this, and bring on Johnston at half time for Murrell or Brown
1 Fieldhouse
2.Worrincy
3.Cowling
4.Tyrer
5.Potts

9.Kaye

11.Manning
12.Bracek
13.Adamson
14.Johnston

16.Mennell

That LOOKS one hell of a team!

Ben Davies is injured so he won't be playing expect that young prop from Wigan will play some part along with the lad from dulls who we are giving a trial.

Not a surprise, His knee is made of biscuit.

Good player, thats not in doubt, but his ability to stay fit is questionable, he went off in our last game last season with his knee, its never going to go away, If he's fit then great, but I think he'll spend more time on the treatment table than on the field.

Hope I'm wrong

looks even better when see who would be left out of the squad.

You all seem to forget that in Harrison's Team Rettie is a shoe in. He loves him and I'm still trying to fathom out why...?? Based on the back line we now have Rettie shouldn't get anywhere near the side....

Rettie was outstanding last year. It's up to others to knock him off his spot.

I agree. A lot of people seem to have a real down on Rettie and he gave his all every game yet people rave about Worrincy but he was less than impressive last year.

Thought Sheriffe was a poorer winger than Rettie. There are others in the side who had much worse seasons than Rettie but never get singled out like he does. Mind you, some people see the game differently from others. One man's winger is another man's Dane Neirrinx

I agree all entitled to an opinion. The difference for me is Worrincy is a match winner and I think has improved year on year. He seemed to me to get dropped at any given opportunity. I'm sorry LR but I can't agree that Rettie was outstanding last season. He's just not a stand out player for me.... Worrincy is. Funny how for a player so outstanding his name hasn't appeared on anyone's best 17 team sheet. Worrincy's has which says it all for me. Rettie ain't no winger IMO. But hey it's only my opinion....!!!

I have said this before and quite frankly I don't understand Karls thinking (on this subject)
Rob was the first to sign a new contract, two years I think. He signed it just before the Sheffield game and didn't play in that game and wasn't played again last season. At first I thought Karl had left him out because of his torrid display away at Sheffield, thinking that Sheffield had sussed his weakness, but not to play again? Perhaps Rob has spent all off season under a high ball, but two things are critical for him this year, pressure under the high ball and getting a decent pass. Remember the basics of Rugby League? the scrum half passes the ball to the stand off, he makes a break and passes it to his inside centre who runs with the ball, passes to his outside centre who draws the defence and ROB blasts over the line.
It's not five drives and a kick!
In my humble opinion Reitty falls into last years tactics I would like to see a change in tactics which utilise wingers of class, step up Rob.
I mean no disrespect to Wayne who I acknowledge last year had a good year, I just think it's time to entertain.

I agree Worrincy is a better winger but for me Rettie was better than Sheriffe and better than critics suggest. Why does no-one mention Tyrer's season? I thought it was dreadful and far more worthy of negative comment.

I would have Worrincy in my team every day of the week. His work rate is fantastic and he has the ability to go the length of the field although I feel with Potts signing KH will go with Rettie and Potts. I also think that Tyrers place will be under real pressure this season as again Im not sure a lot of people have picked Heaton but he will be starting a lot of games and will be one of KH`s first names on the team sheet again leaving Tyrer to fight it out with Cowling and I only feel Heatons place will come under pressure if we complete the loan signing from SL.

Speaking to a couple of players they are saying there is a noticable difference at how quick the ball is getting moved this year compared to last season and things are a lot crisper by the sounds of it. Having 2 hookers with good distribution compared to none from last season in itself is going to make a huge difference.

tyrer did not have a brilliant season last year, but when was fit he was good so hope gets a good off season.
know brown is a goalkicker, but not as good as tyrer.
complete what loan signing from SL.
