Ratch at 4.

That will please a few on here won't it.

Got to say I’m rather disappointed with that, on the other hand Dudson and Kasiano slipped down the rankings what number is Powell going to get then.

Also with Ratchford keeping the 4 shirt I really hope he is not kept as captain for next season.

With the senior players not yet back in training I don't think that we can read too much into the squad numbers at this stage other than the fact that Dwyer is well down the list rather than having a bench spot. As they stand, 1 - 17, it looks like Ratchford starting at centre then moving into Dummy Half, in order to spell Walker, with Tai taking over at Centre.

The numbers themselves are irrelevant, just doesn't look like a side that will trouble any trophies. Not much depth there.

Would kinda of agree except what’s the point of the Powell signing then.

Would've been nice to see a boost given to the likes of Hayes or wrench by giving them a shirt in the first 17. If Drinkwater is going to be our scrum half next season then I really can't be bothered wasting my money. Hopefully Burgess can make some inspired speeches tomorrow to get me excited for next season!!

As usual, really, no great surprises & it's always a shame they have to be issued so early for commercial reasons. Not really much chance of Hayes or Wrench getting a starting shirt but let's hope they get games & put real pressure on the selectors.

That is THE most confusing assumption I've ever seen on here

Being realistic , i would love to see a team with plenty of young lads giving everything on the pitch but the benchmark for most fans is success on the pitch & it is that success that governs a coach's shelf life. It is a
short season with the easily lost chance of winning silverware so the coach will go with what team he thinks will bring most success.

Winning is everything. If suddenly we started picking "plenty of young kids" & started losing we'd soon find out from our fans. I'd give 'em two games before the sparks would fly. Selectors pick who they think is their best team. Of course we don't all agree with the selectors but that is how it is.

Who would you give it to?

We have a player in our ranks who is respected across the Rugby League world, is a guaranteed starter if fit and is the current England captain….no brainer. It cannot be Ratchford again…..and I’ll be telling Sam this tomorrow.
