Obviously it is a very new squad and we need to see who Nobby prefers in certain areas and what his plans are but think these will be the main personnel used. I think we look a lot stronger than last season and if it all knits together we'll go along nicely. As the old saying goes though, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

My Salford team would be-

1.Gibson
2.Mcgilvery
3.Henry
4.Broughton
5.talau
6.Matty Smith
7.Ratchford
8.Cashmere
9.Alker
10.Boyle
11.Adamson
12.Parker
13.Swain

14.J Smith
15.Sibbit
16.Leuluai
17.Holdsworth

God help us!!!

I actually feel a lot better now I've seen the Salford proposed 17.

I reckon we can take them.

1. Dave Halley
2. Rikki Sheriffe (Unfortunately)
3. Platt/Sykes
4. Chris Nero
5. Stuart Reardon
6. Brett Kearney
7. Matt Orford
8. Nick Scruton
9. Heath L'Estrange
10. Andy Lynch
11. Steve Menzies
12. Glenn Hall
13. Jamie Langley

14. Wayne Godwin
15. Craig Kopzcak
16. Danny Sculthorpe
17. James Donaldson/ Elliott Whitehead/ Mike Worrincy/ Tom Olbison

Dont think i've seen as many fullbacks in one team!

Past full backs !!

Reardon is now a winger, Platt is now a centre and Brett Kearney is now a stand off (which tbf he was in his junior years).

My Opinion Castleford
1. Richard Owen
2. Kirk Dixon
3. Michael Shenton
4. James Evans
5. Michael Wainwright (would like 2 see J.Thompson)
6. Rangi Chase
7. Brent Sherwin
8. Mitchell Sargent
9. Ryan Hudson
10. Craig Huby
11. Brett Ferres
12. Steve Snitch
13. Joe Westerman

14. Ryan McGoldrick
15. Paul Jackson
16. Stuart Jones
17. Dean Widders

18th man - Liam Higgins

I think youll more than take them to be honest. I also think youll take Harlequins a run for their money, 12th position, anything more would be a excellent achievement with whats been happening with the club inside and out.

Totally agree.

In my best Kevin Keegan voice "I would love it, LOVE IT if we finished above those cheeky, chirpy cockneys".

I think that we are alot stronger than we were last season, we have Buderus coming back from injury, which will be more like a new signing for us, also Eastwoods finally here and he will be excellent from the bench. We finally have a centre that is meant to be playing in centre also, Brett Delaney, if he plays like he did against Bradford all season, he will be brilliant, and will make Scott Donald look like a total new winger. The choice of Ryan Bailey, Ian Kirke and Luke Burgess is going to be a tough one for Bluey, the squad is really strong.

IMO the youngsters we have at the squad are going on well at the moment, we have more than what I said, we have Liam Hood, Chris Clarkson and Danny Bravo, also Jamel Chisolme, who was named rugby league fastest player last season.

IMO...

Tansey
Calderwood
Hall
Yeaman
Briscoe
R.Horne
Long
Cusack
Berrigan
O'Meley
Tickle
Manu
Fitzgibbon

Houghton
Moa
Radford
Lauaki

I think Long, Tickle, Fitz and Moa will make big impressions this season maybe also Jordan Turner once he gets in the side. I wonder how many come off worst again O'Meley and how many times Lauaki will get sent off.

I am looking forward to the trip to Crusaders, and I think that its going to be a really competitive game. People seem to think that we are going to hammer you guys, but if you look through your squad in detail, you have some potential big players in there, I dont think it will be a easy game for leeds, and dont think it will be very high scored like last season at Newport. I hope that you all have a great season. Good luck to you for the season... except when you play us though.

I look forward to seeing more of Elliot Kear and hope that he gets quite a bit of game time because IMO hes going to be a superb player.
