But I have been wrong more than once where TS is concerned, and I hope I'm wrong again.
The pack is light and sooo much seems to depend on Chris Hill - too much.
Dodds is a gamble, but just shows how difficult it is to get a real top class prop.
Judgment reserved for Gidley and Sandow (ok the latter didn't set the world alight for the few games he played but I'm not too worried by that).
Lineham's defence is a real concern for me, but again a young guy. Monas wasn't over the hill. He can still finish
Hughes seems decent and age is on his side.
Regarding Westerman, has TS EVER played a ball playing 13?
I'm not sure but my belief is not. That's why I don't think we've got Westerman coming in. Definate talent but depends if he's brought in to play his natural game or become another battering ram.
Hill, Clark, Sims, Hughes, Westwood and probably Harrison/G.King in the pack. Dodds with Dwyer and maybe B.Evans and Philbin as key back up men.
Given how much I dislike the Pies, I have to say their conveyor belt of home grown talent is really impressive, and I'd say more of their recruits are successful.
Saints and Leeds aren't far behind.
Overall I think if we get in the top 4 we'll have done very well and punched above our weight.'"
Not at warrington, I think Ratchford has started the odd game there, possibly Grix too, but predominately he has played a 3 prop game at Wire.
He obviously used Sinfield as a ball playing loose while coaching Leeds & Great Britain / England though
