With the loss of Peacock and Kylie everyone seems to be concerned. Why? With everyone available we could put out two packs that could mix it with the best and also have additional cover.

Mitch Garbutt
Beau Fallon
Cuthbertson
Ambett
Ferries
Stevie Ward

Singleton
Burrow
Galloway

Also Mitch Garbutt will be massive this year for Leeds, he's add a good pre season and could be a good outside shot for man of steel. Currently not even in the betting with skybet and they have Tompkins favourite at 8/1 lol......so guess Garbutts at least 100/1 as highest quoted is 80/1 .......thoughts ?

The main concerns for me are how Falloon and Galloway settle, undoubtedly they have great NRL pedigree but we've seen before with Ben Cross it doesn't always work that way.

Sinfield is without doubt the hardest to replace. His on and off field presence, all round kicking game and being a great captain make him near impossible to replace. The squad as a whole looks stronger but whether that gets converted on the pitch will be interesting to watch. Ferres is a huge huge signing for us and will help a great deal so hats off to GH and BM for getting that done.

Either way lets get behind the lads, give them all the support in the world and lets give them time. MOT.

I think once all are fit we can hopefully keep them that way through rotation . The quality we have should mean no big dips.

I'd like to see

Galloway
Falloon
Garbutt
Ablett
Ward
Cuthbertson

Then on the bench Singleton,ferres,burrow and one of mullally,Delaney,jjb,keinhorst,Walters etc.
Until ward and jjb are fit I'd move ferres to starring line up and pick two of the others (likely Delaney and one of mullally or keinhorst

From pre season I have seen vus far both while may not be world beaters are a lot better than cross. Galloway has shown son good defence and a decent line break. Think they will be fine

I agree with Gotcha re-kicking game/game management but the players in those positions have to take charge of that going forward.
I will add though albeit at jnr level Lilleys "Leadership/Game management" is top notch as is his kicking game in either half.
