Does the fact that Theo is in Number 14 give us any indication that he will be interchange Hooker next year?
Or am I reading too much into this?

I wonder who'll be filling the No.18 slot?

Is it me or is jake emmitt missing.. has he left Salford

Fantastic - the best squad we've had in years - Harrison Hansen at 18 perhaps?

Deffo Hansen at 18.

Hmm interesting point that. I know I haven't heard about him leaving, anyone shed any light on this?

Alex Davidson, Jack Holmes & Edwin Okanga-Agwang who also had a squad number last season I presume are in the academy?

I'm pretty sure I've seen Owen training with the first team squad so can only think he's gone off on a seasons loan. As for Emmitt I doubt he'd have got any sort of look in and it wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't get farmed out to Swinton if the Doc does by a feeder team.

Gareth Owen is still with the squad. He is number 27. Just dropped down the order slightly due to the players who have come in.

Didn't Emmitt only join us on loan as a swap for Boyle? Since then Boyle made his move permanent to Castleford.

Interesting to see Steve Rapira given the 13 shirt, I'm underwhelmed by that at the moment but will trust Noble and his judgement.

Jack holmes has signed for Halifax.

Met Alex Davidson at the Quiz night so still part of the club , maybe dual reg ?

Jake Emmitt signed an 18 month deal so he has another yr left ,
could be the missing 18 number or his squad number is a 30 + number ??

the make up of the squad indicates the level of change

Only Gleeson & Williams are left from last seasons starting ' 13'

13 new signings for 2014
and another 9 only made their debuts for the Club during 2013

amazingly Gareth Owen is the 'Daddy ' of the Squad having made his senior Debut on the 15th Aug 2010 against Hull KR ( Not counting J Walton's 1st spell at Club )

Danny Williams Debut was July 2011 also against Hull KR

Ashurst - Howarth & McPherson arrived in 2012

Wow , just wow

Of the Senior Backroom staff , only the Rugby Genius remains.

Interesting to note that our average age is 25 for the squad in MM's post. Hardly Dad's Army.

Not until I saw the list laid out like that did I realise that it really is a completely new team.

Exciting times.
More relevant is that the average age of the first 17 is nearly 28.
As you say,hardly Dads Army.

A nice blend of young and old exciting times
