We are pretty weak in the backrow now so we may struggle.

It will be interesting our starting 17 I think can match up. Some decent cover too. Just depth in our second row and wingers that maybe an issue if injuries occur.

But I expect more of the same slow progression.

A top four finish and a decent run in the cup.

ollie roberts expected to make an impact this season after not getting a chance last time round

I desperately want to see Hinchliffe at Hooker, but can see the Ferres debacle meaning we throw him into loose.

Otherwise we end up with 2 hookers not playing, and no cover in the backs.

Swap ferres for Hughes or kirmond!!!

Kirmond is not in the same class as Ferres. We need to be looking at better than that although I can't think of many options in this country.

hughes at wire
kirmond dogged by injuries

what has ferres done last two seasons for us anyway? certainly nothing last year and wasnt great before that, 2013 he was last in great form for us

in paper today it said hinchcliffe looking to play the hooker role

taai / lawrence / wardle with patrick off the bench in second row?

certainly got enough time to sort it out before season starts

Wire seem top heavy in back rowers.... Should enquire about in Philbin!

Or George King?

Giants released George King from there academy coz he wasn't good enough so y would he come back

Dunno, but it wont be the first time it's happened
