It seems that Myler is staying next season so TS has a headache....

Myler
Ratchford
Bridge
GOB
Wheeler

What positions would you put them in, who would you leave out?

1. Ratchford
6. GOB
7. Myler

Wheeler and Bridge can do alternate games in the centres, keep them both fit

Russell? Yed

Russell for me?

Does he even know how to mod?

I mean if you play Ratchford a 1 where are you wanting Russell?

Russell on the wing...Joel in at centre.

Wheeler left centre, Atkins 2nd row?

1- Ratchford
2 - Russell
3 - Monaghan
4 - Atkins
5 - Evans
6 - Wheeler/Myler/GOB/ AN Other
7 - Myler/GOB/ AN Other

13 - Bridge

TS knows what he is doing, unlike any of us.

Theres No halfback headache at all really

6 GOB
7 Myler

Ts for me still isn't sure On GOB though , a few months ago he was being allowed to leave for Bradford and his recent Contract extension was only 1 year when other youngsters are are Getting 2 and three year extensions on their contracts ... GOB is still the man that needs to prove himself to Ts in my opinion ..

All of them rotating constantly through the HB positions all season.

I am sure that Tony Smith will not be having any headaches on this one. I don't think we need to worry either. You always need healthy competition and back up. Injuries crop up, players play in other positions & go in and out of form. The only hiccup is the silly squad numbers that are given out at the start of the season. Coaches must hate them. Coaches don't usually like showing their hand until the last minute.

I agree smithy, time to take the lead and be the 1st SL to dump squad numbering.

yeah follow Leigh's example in 2005 and do them alphabetically. that was ace.






And, by coincidence, here's this seasons squad, which i prepared earlier, isn't it hilarious?
1 Asotasi
2 Atkins
3 Bridge c
4 Bridge d
5 Burke
6 Currie
7 Dwyer
8 England
9 Evans B
10 Evans R
11 Grix
12 Harrison
13 Higham
14 Hill
15 Laithwaite
16 Monaghan j
17 Monaghan m
18 Myler
19 O'Brien
20 Ormsby
21 Penny
22 Philbin
23 Ratchford
24 Riley c
25 Riley G
26 Russell
27 Saltonstall
28 Walker
29 Waterhouse
30 Westwood
31 Wood



Who's the only player that keeps his original number....now, i'm not saying it's aliens....but it's aliens...

I think I have a fair idea of the game JC but the Wheeler signing does perplex me. Given the choice of a player to sign to strengthen the squad the last thing I would have done is to sign another utility back.

I would have gone for a specialist scrum-half and another prop. But there you go.
