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

Who will be your main kicker this year.

At Pendleton gateway meeting, brian Noble was asked about Jake Emmitt, He said he is still with us.

jake mullaney

Thanks for that it is for my fantasy team you should score a lot of points next year with that team.

Get rid of squad numbers, please.

Aye. Should just have the player's height on the back of his shirt instead.

Ah, but should it be in feet & inches - or metric?

Quite funny that. But I'll say it again I don't want Chase in the half-backs; I don't think Sam Williams will be first choice for George Illawarra, make a bid for him during the season if Chase is being a bit of a coward.

In other news, Noble picks team based on seventeen darts thrown over the shoulder at a giant board suspended from the new mascots sizable appendage.

Don't want Chase in the Halves...

I suppose if we were to tempt Sam Burgess back to the UK you would see him as a valuable asset outside Martin Gleeson?
