Of cause he is but say the half backs are slower than a 90 year old is.

Plenty of wetherspoons in town then catch number 19 bus outside of train station drops you off near entrance to cricket stand then 2 min walk to headingley taps ,i think open at 10 on sundays .

You know his dad then?

Hmmm. Another long season ahead I suspect.

My old fella can shift when he gets going. Dont get me wrong our halves are better than last year but weve no pace in the team.

For comparison this is how we lined up for the first game last year

Walker, T. Briscoe, Handley, Watkins, Hurrell, Lolohea, Myler, Cuthbertson, Parcell, Merrin, Ferres, Ward, L. Sutcliffe.

Replacements: Dwyer, Singleton, Donaldson, Oledzki.

Our halves and starting props are way way better this year

I believe Headingley taps is open from 10am. Head of Steam, Original Oak, The Box, Manahatta all open from 11am. Skyrack midday.

Looks like the South, North and West stands all sold out now and only standing tickets now available in the extentia stand. Less than a 1,000 tickets available.

A bit of size and power in that back line. Is that 6 south sea islanders in that squad.... crikey

I agree, Hull could be a great side this year if they click

I would love our opener to be a sell out crowd bit I fear that many ticket holders from Cas will not stay for the double header, should still be a good un though

I'm not so sure, Watkins was absolutely dire and clearly not fit this time last year (or perhaps at any point in the year), Briscoe I will grant you.

A couple of changes to that Hull team i think but will still be strong
Fonua according to reports is still not fully fit so maybe miss out so line up possible
Shaul
Naulago
Connor
Tuimavave

bench Savelio,Satae,Matongo,Josh Griffin

Thats been said for the last 25 years though.

Top 3 for me this year at a push.
