Given the numerous pages regarding Ben Harrison and his "deregistration" I see he's got a squad number still.

No point deregistering him unles you've got someone to deregister him for.

I think lefty you could be classed as a pessimist.

Look at yourself man. Read some of your posts. Cheer up! It may never happen.

It does look pretty thin, when you see it like that, reasonable first 13 then it drops off a bit.

Plus from this,it was doing my bleeding head in trying to work out who number 11 was for us last year.

Considering the money we appear to have spent, that looks like a very ordinary squad and one where Penny has once again dropped down the pecking order. Sorry, but it doesn't whet my appetite. I think I'll avoid the HJ until results prove me wrong.

That's what playing zero games will do...

Grix was 11, wasn't he?

yes he was, i had to look it up,

Well I am not attending any matches at all until they win 6 in a row. I will sit out the CC as well, although obviously I will pop along to Wembley if they make the final. The trouble with Draper et al, is they simply don't understand us supporters. Take the Catalan away package that the club is now advertising - why should I fork out all that money if I am not fairly certain of a Wire win ? They have not even subsidised it.

Does that mean you will withdraw from this forum as well?

Why would 'he', after all, the poster might just fancy going to the away games....? Great effort that and btw you don't need to actually watch the game to have an opinion, it just might not be that informed.

In fairness, I don't have a problem with anyone 'voting with their feet', I just find it difficult to understand why anyone would do it before a ball has been kicked.

As ratticusfich said on a previous thread, what calibre of player were fans expecting us to sign? We have got three very good, young english payers added to our squad. A first grade nrl half back, who hopefully will have settled in to his new surroundings for this season. A prop who Wayne Bennett deemed good enough to put in Brisbane's 17 for the grand final. And most importantly, we have rectified the one problem we have had since briers/hodgson/mick monas went, we have signed a natural leader. Personally, I cannot wait for next season.

Amazing that a player who struggled with the physical demands of the U19s is deemed able enough to be in the first team squad.

Bet O'Brien is a bit cheesed off after seeing that.

It is a bit of an odd one,the lad obviously has potential and has showed glimpses last season up until he was injured

Looked like he had the 'best player at school syndrome' and then everyone else catches you up

Hope he kicks on next season in the academy but can't understand like yourself how he has been included in the 1st team squad ,must have been part of the deal when he signed from Leeds maybe

The squad definitely looks a bit thin when you get past the first 20 (ok a bit optimistic), so which teams have real depth? Is this a result of the salary cap combined with wage inflation?
