lets say our ins and outs are complete.

what would your preferred 17 be next year?

1.mathers
2.hicks
3.bridge
4.atkins
5.king
6.briers
7.myler
8.morley
9.monas
10.carvell
11.louis
12.westwood
13.harrison

14.higham
15.wood/solomona
16.cooper/solomona
17.vinnie/solomona

if solomona is used as a prop, i feel one of wood or cooper will miss out ( harsh i know), or i think vinnie may miss out if he is used as a back row.

i also feel extremely harsh leaving out riley, and although he is a great prospect, fail to see where mccarthy will fit in.

however, it is likely that we will get injuries, every team does, so i can see riley playing a part, he can cover wing and full back, and could even find himself in the team if a centre gets injured and king is required to move infield. also, clarke vinnie mccarthy and others that miss out will still get game time im sure.

looks a strong squad and leaves me full of optimism for next season

It doesn't take Tony Smith to work it out.

Solomona is a ball playing second rower always has been (despite filling in at Stand-Off for Bradford) his game is running out wide drawing in outside defence and offloading to Centre's and Wingers... He would be wasted playing as a Prop battering ram

2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 - It's always our year.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_27604.jpg



I would go with...

1.Mathers
2.King
3.Bridge
4.Atkins
5.Hicks
6.Briers
7.Myler
8.Morley
9.Monas
10.Carvell
11.L. Anderson
12.Westwood
13.Harrison

Subs:
14.V. Anderson
15.Higham
16.Wood/Solomona
17.Cooper/Clarke/Solomona

With the squad Smith has at his disposal i think its really hard to call. I just don't see him dropping Clarke as ive always had the impression Smith is a big fan of him, and hes a leader on the pitch. But i cant see Smith wanting to go with 3 props, I think he would prefer 4. Then there is Solomona, is he going to play as a prop or a second-rower and where does he fit into that, I wouldn't drop either of the Andersons or Westwood, but Solomona won't have been signed to not make the 17. It also seems harsh to drop players such a Riley and MCcarthy but obviously injuries will come into it and they will no doubt have a part to play.

The squad is obviously a very strong one with many selection headaches for Smith. It's certainly a squad that fills me with real optimism, this is probably the first season where i really do think we will break into the top 3 even the top 2.

To some greatness comes naturally In Smith we trust:Black Backgrounds/Animal.gif



No mention of Carney in these squads. I'm aware his future is undecided but if he stays, I think Smith will play him.

If Clarke is fit, he'll play. Coaches like him. So do team mates.

Props - he can go with 3 as he can move Harrison up when Clarke comes on (or start with Clarke anyway at 13).

Louis and Westwood starting second row
Harrison starting loose
Higham, Cooper or Wood, Clarke and Solomona on bench.

However, still got Vinnie and Grix to fit in.

I think its an impossible call to make at this point of the year. We don't see how players are performing in training and fitting into the squad. So on that basis I would have to go with what we know works...
Mathers
Hicks
Bridge
King
Riley
Briers
Myler
For me, Atkins will have to earn a place in the squad rather thab walk in just because he is a new signing.
I will leave the forwards out as I don't know as much about them as the backs.

Sounds like you don't know too much about the backs either icon_wink.gif

I think he has had 2 very good seasons under his belt and deserves a starting shirt in the squad. Good pace, safe pair of hands and reasonably safe in defense.
