+1.... Going to be very interesting to watch the youngsters develop.

If Goulding and Charnley is your starting right edge, it's gonna be turnstile central. I think you will bring somebody in though. Great to see a team with so many academy products.

Giving us any kind of credit is a potential banning offence... You have been warned..

I know it's something Warrington started the ball rolling on a few years back. I think Wigan were the first to start the trend in the 90's, then Leeds took it up a notch in the 00's. Wigan then went through a spell of wasting money on big name aussies(Wire also), now have gone back to producing their own. I hope Warrington can have a similar amount in a few years time.

Made up for Prescott and Mossop. They've worked so hard these past couple of years to establish themselves in the side and they get a reward there. They're both going to be the cornerstone of our pack for a good number of years and should go on to be the same at international level as well.

As for the other numbers I wouldn't read too much in to Goulding getting the 3 shirt. They have to give it to somebody because if they left it free it would just make everyone go in to overdrive speculating about a signing that probably won;t happen.

The only number I have a problem with is Hock getting the 12 shirt. I'm not sure he warrents that tbh. I think he's a great player but he did let the club down 2 years back and again on his return with a moment of madness at Wire. He needs to put in a big pre season, keep his head down and prove himself on the field (which i think he will do by the way).

I'd have give Farrell the 12 shirt. He's going to have a huge season in 2012 imo. He suffered a touch of 2nd season syndrome last year but showed some positive signs near the end and will rip it up this time around.

Looks a significantly weaker squad than last year on paper, both in depth and quality.

Hasn't Goulding had the #3 shirt before?

With that in mind, I wouldn't read too much into it

Yeah he wore #3 in Nobby's last season in charge

goulding and hock not good enough for starting jerseys for mine. hope to be proved wrong.

Come off it, Hock's definitely good enough. I think he'll be 10x better than last season after getting a full pre-season with Wane, Bitcon etc behind him. Peope expected too much of him after he returned last year, and we only saw anywhere near his best in flashes.

I wouldnt read too much in to these squad nos either tbh, he had to name them and it was easier to leave 3 numbers out of the 1-17 slots empty rather than earmark it for a potential replacement who then doesnt turn up. Wane hasnt even got them all back yet, after a few weeks of training he might decide he likes the look of Charnley at 3 with Amos/Goulding outside him. I wonder if it would be better for us not to have squad numbers and just do it like the Aussies do?

I'd have given Lima a starting shirt over Prescott but it doesn't matter at the end of the day. They are both fantastic players and will get a lot of game time regardless of their numbers

I can`t believe some of the negative comments that have been posted already. Let`s give everyone a chance. We shouldn`t be crticising players 3 months before the SL starts!

In terms of which props will start the game, I am sure it will be the same as it has been in the past, that is selection may well be influenced by the starting props for the opposition.
