Leeds have been in a transitional period for a couple of years already, the backline has already changed, Sutcliffe is being brought into the halves and will be the first choice half if not this year definitely next. The likes of ward and Singleton have already come in to the pack with Mulhern, Baldwinson, minchella, not far behind, and a robbie Ward coming in at Hooker.

I put in bold the Wakey players who'd walk into most SL team, I did it for the hard of thinking but hey you manage to baffle science. Can't make up whether you hate Wakefield or are just a wind up merchant or a snob, either way it's tedious. Never mind we will carry on beating top 4teams like we do every season

Don't bit Smokey is fishing, leave me to deal with him

Huddersfield

Murphy/Grix
Mcgillivary
Cudjoe
Wardle
Murphy/Broughton
Brough
Ellis
Crabtree
Lunt
Huby
Ferres
Taai
Bailey

Kopczak
Mullally
Hughes
Robinson

Leaving
Connor, Wood, Johnson, Lawrence, Fairbank Leeming, Roberts as back up.

I was surprised with how good Wakefield's team looked on paper tbh, their pack looks pretty good and better than Widnes' but Widnes have the edge in the backs.

In saying that I'm not sure which player if any the likes of Wigan, Warrington, St.Helens or Leeds would want out of the ones you have highlighted. Personally speaking at Wigan I wouldn't want any barring Kirmond as a squad player. Smith maybe at one team at a push. The rest of the teams in the league possibly.

Cas

Dorn
Clare
Webster
Shenton
Carney
Roberts
Gale
Lynch
Moore
Jewitt
Holmes
Moors
Millington

Milner
Cook
Mariano
Boyle

That cas pack without Huby and Clark looks much weaker.

I would say on paper they are struggling but i do rate Powell highly as a coach so that counts for a lot.

Clark will be the big miss,fully expect jewitt to step up this season

Cas

1. Dorn (Tansey)
2. Clare (Dixon)
3. Shenton (Channing)
4. Webster (Gibson)
5. Carney (Solomona)
6. Roberts
7. Gale (Finn)
8. Lynch (Crossley)
9. Moore
10. Jewitt
11. Holmes (Mariano)
12. Moors (McMeeken)
13. Millington (Massey)

14. Milner
15. Boyle
16. Wheeldon
17. Cook


Then we have Will Maher, Jordan Howden, Ash Robson, Tom Holmes, Brandon Moore and Brandon Westerman all in first team squad too.

Total 33 players in squad and great versatility, experience and depth again.

In terms of versatility:

FB: Dorn, Tansey, Solomona, Clare, Robson,
W: Dixon, Clare, Carney, Solomona, Tansey, Gibson.
C: Webster, Shenton, Carney Channing, Gibson, Dixon, Mariano.
SO: Roberts, Tansey, Gale, Dorn, Robson, Westerman, Howden.
SH: Gale, Finn, Tom Holmes.
P: Lynch, Boyle, Jewitt, Crossley, Massey, Millington, Wheeldon, Cook, Moors, Maher
H: Scott Moore, Milner, Finn, Tom Holmes, Brandon Moore.
SR: Mariano, Holmes, Moors, Cook, Millington, McMeeken, Webster.
LF: Millington, Cook, Jewitt, Massey, Westerman, Howden.

A lot stronger team than how we started last year.

Don't know whether you've forgotten him or not put him in but I'd personally have Scott Anderson at Prop in my 17 ahead of Daniel Smith.

That Salford 17 could do some damage if they play as a team and get a bit of luck with injurys

OK, based on the Miller signing and Sammut apparently being our goal kicker meaning he's going to figure somewhere in the starting line up, here's some changes in the Wakefield Trinity line up that I expect to see.

Sammut
Lyne
Collis
Hall
Riley
Miller
T Smith
Anderson
McShane
Scruton
Kirmond
Ryan
Washbrook

Godinet
Lauitiiti/Ashurst
L Paea/Simon
Kirke/D Smith

Owen/Jowitt/Trout/Anakin/Molloy/Crowther/Johnston

Really think Cas will struggle big time this coming season. One good year, lose most of their talented players and now, back to being irrelevant. Bottom three.

most of their talented players? Weve lost 3,only one will be sorely missed

Huby was very good but not irreplaceable,jewitt will take care of that

sneyd? Weve replaced with roberts amd recruited gale,our halves are alot stronger than last year

clark will be missed
