| Bowen,
Charnley, Goulding, Thornley, Burgess.
Green, Smith,
Dudson, McIlorum, A Powell,
Pettybourne, Hansen,
O'Loughlin.
Backs, Gelling, Manfredi, Hampshire, Williams, Tierney.
Forwards, Flower, Taylor, Crosby, L Farrell, Greenwood, Hopkins, C Farrell.
I think Thornley will get the 4 shirt next year. Gelling is not a left sided player but right IMO. No announcement re Sarginson or Clubb so not mentioned them.
No sight not sound of Lauaki so not included him either.
Connor Farrell will get an inclusion from me but maybe out on DR.
That's unless we get a return to U 21s which would change our reserve options.
Also I do feel that Faz will be behind Pettybourne as SW will again go for experience and size. I also think Faz maybe better suited to impact from the bench for a season due to his pace and elusiveness.
We need quality half backs and to me it is imperitive Williams remains a seven.
Too many 7s are drafted into 9s too early in their careers hence the dearth of quality 7s in the British game.

Did you hit the ale too hard after Saturday?
Faz had a sensational play off series and season. He's one of ours and superleagues best players.'"
Not saying I agree with his side but putting a player on the bench doesn't mean he's worse than the players who start. For example I wouldn't be averse to Flower starting in the back row with Farrell coming off the bench against the bigger packs. Flower softens them up then Farrell hits the gaps they're too tired to cover after 20 mins or so. Just a thought....

Fully agree that being on the bench isn't a slight for some players but Faz? Not a chance. Father Ted said he thinks Wane will want more size, well he's just done the double with this team and this backrow and Farrell has had his best ever year starting games and playing long minutes.
Flower I can see adding good impact (but he again could do very long minutes) but Farrell is a starting player all day long.

| I think the team looks pretty strong next year although the prospect of Sydney Roosters attacking a left side defence of Thornley and Burgess fills me with dread.

Especially if SBW happens to be playing on the right for the Roosters, either as a centre or second row.

Rumours are that it's already a done deal. If so, hat's off to the Wire on this one.
IF it does prove to be true, then it just emphasises to me how pi$$ poor the RFL are in promoting our sport as a whole by not attracting a sponser of similar kudos, and they should hang their heads in shame.
It's just more grist to the mill to any No Confidence vote.
