Well it wasnt quite a decent centre that we brought in, it was a prop and a back rower.
The Cas recruitment drive could now be complete, so here's my 17:-
Owen
Dixon
Arundel
Thompson or Griffin
Youngquest
Chase
Orr
Millington
Milner
Huby
Emmit
Jones
Ferres
Clark
Jackson
Mitchell
Walker
Mathers, Mcgoldrick, Hudson, Nash, Massey, Holmes, Snitch and Davies in reserve.
I think Brierley, Clare and Harris are part of the first team squad and have gone out on dual registration. |

Looking at the squads I can't see the top 8 changing next year.

Whiting is not, never has been or ever will be a winger. With an experienced centre and a bit of coaching Will Sharp will still make a very good winger.

I agree about Richard Whiting but Will Sharp is not ready to start the season as our first-choice winger. I also believe that he can become a very good winger but at the minute, it would be Richard Whiting starting for me. |

With the likes of Amos Roberts, Chris Tuson, Marsh, Dudson, Flower (both TBC) etc as backup. Good 17 (decent apart from the sieve of right side defence), but our depth is getting worse and worse.

4 big forwards on the bench, no interchange hooker, is there no young hooker coming through the ranks. |

| I'm happy with how Wakefield are shaping up. Not expecting great things, just improvement.
Unfortunate that Morrison won't be playing. Likely to be another addition yet.

Yeah we have a few, Carberry and Logan Tomkins along with Joe Mellor at half back. I suspect we'll see Farrell coming on for Mickey Mac, with Leuluai pushing up to hooker, Lockers taking the half-back role and Farrell doing loose forward (his best position IMHO).
We desperately need a new half back/centre though IMO. Even a veteran for 1-2 years to allow the lads to spell. |

Things can change and we will sign a few players I'm sure but at the minutes the names rumoured would be more back up then starters IMO.
I'd be happy enough with that side but would feel a lot more confident with a good right centre signed up (not Thomas).'"
From what I saw of Mellor in the Championship playing for widnes last year he is nowhere near ready to be a SL stand off, at least not 1st choice. He would do ok i'm sure as he has loads of fantastic players around him and a monster pack to play off, but last year he looked average in the championship and didn't seem capable of breaking down a defence, putting people through gaps, or even much of a kicking game. I had heard big things about him from wiganers so really watched him when he went out to Widnes on Duel Reg, and I was very underwhelmed by his performances. |

You think the fans were happy about that? Fortunately the muppets responsible are no longer with the club. |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| Quote: barnsley bill "4 big forwards on the bench, no interchange hooker, is there no young hooker coming through the ranks.'"
Yes there are three.
Logan Tomkins, Liam Carberry (could be the one to watch) and Callum Wright.
Then below that is the England youth squad player Luke Waterworth. |

| Bradford are looking better than last year, I would personally go with:
1). Brett Kearney
2). Shaun Ainscough
3). Adrian Purtell
4). Keith Lulia
5). Elliot Kear
6). Kyle Briggs
7). Luke Gale
. Nick Scruton
9). Heath L'Estrange
10). Craig Kopczak
11). Olivier Elima
12). Elliott Whitehead
13). James Donaldson
14). Matt Diskin
15). Jamie Langley
16). Manase Manuokafoa
17). Tom Burgess/Jarrod Sammut
then we have these in backup:
Walker
Jeffries
Hargreaves
Sibbit
Olbison
Addy
Crookes
O'Brien
Bateman
Sykes
Platt
McAvoy
But no doubt Potter will have Purtell on wing with Walker in centre, Jeffries at 6, Gale at 7. And Langers at loose. |
