Of our props I would say that there is only Emmitt that is nailed on to be in our 'best' 17. He isn't as exciting as some of our other props but he plays big minutes, eats up yards, tackles all day and rarely makes mistakes or gives away penalties. With our strength in depth I imagine we'll see plenty of rotation in the forwards but for our 'biggest' matches I would have Jake playing every time.

Moi moi will be a bench player, making a huge impact when he comes on. What a job pr has picking the team, he will be like a kid a christmas

Agreed. Glad I don't have to pick our best 17.

I rate Beaumont however if he stays injury free.

Tough job for PR imo.

Greg Worthington?

6. Ridyard
7. Brierley

10. Wilkes
11. Sarsfield
12. Goulden
13. Barlow

14. Foster/Beswick
15. Haggerty
16. Acton
17. Moi Moi

Would like to see more of Foster this year with our current hookers approaching the back end of their careers. Moi Moi off the bench for me, scary pack. Where does Reynolds play? Suspect the hardest thing this year is keeping everybody happy with game time.

Not as good as Pitman or Platt imo but I am not a coach, and he hasnt had the benefit of our coaches/conditioning yet

Agree re Jake fantastic all round Prop.

Well after a change in Medication (Now on Super Strength ),Charlie is back feeling much better and ready for the new season , cant wait , never been one for sentiment , this coming season will be so important , hopefully after a few Friendlies PR will know his strongest 17 , but here is mine.

1. Ben Reynolds .
2.Adam Higson .
3.Greg Worthington.
4.Tom Armstrong .
5. Liam Kay .
6. Martin Ridyard .
7.Ryan Brierley .
8. Jake Emmitt .
9.Bob Beswick .
10.Tom Spencer .
11.Matt Sarsfield .
12 . Kurt Haggarty.
13 .Sam Barlow .

14 .Sean Penky .
15.Moi Moi .
16.Oli Wilkes .
17.Sam Hopkins .

We have a very strong squad for the coming season , and will certainly need it , this is just my opinion on the best 17 , im sure everyone has theirs , but Charlie knows .

The friendlies will be very interesting this season with the new boys needing to prove their worth for a shirt

have you seen him recently? he is looking really really fit, and as Platt may be out some while it leaves the door open and for me whilst I rate Cam very highly his best position is on the wing.

Ben Reynolds must also come into the reckoning once the coaching staff find his best position as I'm told he is equally at home at Fullback, in the half's or threequarters.

As for the forwards we have a plethora of riches and I cant call the 'grunts' there are so many of them.

I await the pre season games to see how they show in our colours, but watching Cam against Greg last year I put cam in front

Was unaware of Platt, who has had a bad few years with injuries.

All I can predict is that it will be 3 props/Back row and a hooker on the bench
