Yet if you look on the virtual terrace you will see that russell is top in the poll of emerging talent that has impressed the most.

For most of last season, certainly from Magic Weekend on, our bench consisted of 8,9,10 plus ANOther.

Its a good young squad, if they click we could be a threat.

Wigan lost a load then somehow won the double with a weaker team so anything can happen.

After two Grand Final loses I think we needed a few new faces and a fresh start, be good if we could work the magic again and land a big signing.

I wouldn't exactly call 7 over 30s young.

I agree with the earlier comment about it being similar to Wigan this past season where others underestimate the team based on the players that have left. I'd assume there's still cap room for you to bring in a Full Back or Half Back. (Expect the Eastmond rumours to fly)

No Danny Bridge ??

TS was talking him up towards the back end of last season, anyone got any idea why he's not got a squad number?

I liked the look of him when he's played games for us.

No captain named as yet. I suspect that the club will go down the experienced route and pick a captain team such as Mickey Higham, Mick Monaghan & Trent Waterhouse.
