Plus there is Eloise Hayward who I think is a scrum half in Union

Butcher is defensively excellent. I know she played a lot of centre last year but wouldn’t be surprised to see her in the back row.

Roche and Goldthorp off to the WNRL I’m told, Roche to Newcastle Knights and Golthorp to Gold Coast Titans

Interesting, the clubs are now all slowly announcing signings for the season.
Apparently Hollie Dodd may get a deal in the NRLW too.

All three very good players and not surprised they want a crack at NRLW. I thought Butcher would end up at 13 with Lisones other half slotting into the halves?

Hardcastle appears to have the number 11 shirt judging by social media.

The half backs are abysmal

Lois has to take some of the blame, you can afford to have one or 2 players playing out of position but 6 or 7 was way too much.

Does anyone know if Lucy Murray & Chloe Kerrigan are still at the club ?
Both good players and I thought Murray was/is a future International.

Chloe decided to leave for personal reasons

Georgia Hale going home already

Not good Chris. Bit embarrassing for the club. As per the other thread, i assume they've not settled.

Hopefully get Lucy Murray back soon, she is quality.

So what are we making of this team ?
I really think Lois has made some big mistakes with team selections so far.
I personally would like to see Amy back in the centres alongside Beevers when she is back from injury.
Ruby Enright has to come in as fullback with Nuttall & Moxon on the wings.
Hayward is a natural halfback and I’d play her alongside Caitlin Casey.
Losing Hale is probably a bigger loss off field but she can easily be replaced, I’d move Hannah Butcher to 13.
Looking forward to getting Hornby and Shannon Lacey back they will add a hell of o lot to the team.

Unfortunately the player lined up for full back broke her ankle pre season
4-5 weeks before she’s fit again
