Fantastic squad we have assembled for this season! Looks well balanced with plenty of depth, size, skill and, for once, some pace!!! Very excited! Only slight surprise in the squad numbers for me is Sarsfield at 11, would have expected Finnegan or Aspinwall to have been given that shirt. Can't wait to see how we go, roll on the new season

TBH they don't mean much as the season pans out.

Defo a great looking squad with plenty of back up & strength in depth, although I know people say the squad numbers are not nailed on what the coach sees as his strongest team numbers 2 & 3 worry me if they are played together again this season. Been great players and servants but caught out way too often last season & would be again this in my opinion ( and we are all aloud them ) better options in the squad for these places imho.

Am I missing something, were is Jimmy Taylor? Has he been released?

Jimmy Taylor retired Mookachaka.

Interesting reading but means very little, for example I can probably count on one hand the number of times Warrington started with what was on paper at least our first choice front row!

I bet some of the players who have been involved for the last few years are relieved with that squad as quite a few had to play with hard knocks.

Where is tuki Jackson?

Work permit pending mate

He'd announced his retirement a few weeks before the Trains Cup Final.......sounds like you've missed quite a lot!!

Border agency dragging their feet with this one, Steve Openshaw setting up a meeting with the panel to hopefully push it through.

It always astonishes me that pro footie players from outside the UK never have any problem getting visas to play in this country.

Football players are generally world class international athletes, so would fall into 'exceptional skills' or whatever sub category its officially called. Amateur rugby players dont fall into same category.

Plus they bring millions of pounds of Tax Revenue in,which helps when considering Visas,I think if you looked at overseas RL players very few stay over here once they stop playing and I would say they are a very low risk visitor to our shores and only stay when employed.
