The phrase "face doesn't fit" suggests that it is a bit personal. But perhaps they have just watched him (for hours and hours as coaches do) and decided that in a salary cap sport you can't keep 'em all. In the relatively small amount of time that I have seen him I can't really see why there is such a fuss ... but that might be unfair as I haven't watched him that much. Some might have spotted much more than me.
I totally agree that the squad is unbalanced. I am expecting a quick offload of a prop early on in the season. This won't be difficult as usually clubs are crying out for props.

I'd like to see what Joe Bullock would be like wider out. When we have so many grunters, who are most definitely props, you have to think differently.

Clearly the plan for centre was for Wardle to come in, but Huddersfield wanted too much from us in terms of the player swap. We have the cap space but the biggest issue is the lack of a quota spot. I’m looking forward to seeing Kasiano in a Wire shirt, and the impact he will bring, but I can’t help but think the spot could have been better spent on an excellent left centre. I

So most are back in preseason, kassiano, Vaughan and Dufty due next week. So if it’s to be Drinkwater when is that being announced and then him getting into early training, ofc Williams will get extended time off.

I don’t know what it is, but the team on those photos by the Guardian just looks different this year. Maybe it’s so many new faces, but it looks like a team that’s trim and focussed.

I hope it’s not just the camera angle or my mind playing tricks.

Looking at training pictures who is the next to last photo of ?

James Harrison. He just looks a bit older with his head shaved.

Thank you, blimey he has had a bad paper round in the off season.
