2.Manfriedi ... still think if fit first choice?
3. Sarge ... imagine Gells has gone.
4. Gildart
5. Budge
6.Williams
7.Sam T
8. Clubb
9.Powel/Tommy... I would only play one, even if Macs gone?
10. Flower
11. Faz
12.Batty
13.Lockers
14. Joel T
15. Fpn ... I thought when he and T came off the bench together they give us impact and can change a game having Sutton and Joel also gives us options of mixing up with rotation.
16.T
17. Sutton
18. Powel/ Tommy ... I imagine they will find game time at 9 or through injurys for me if Powel plays hes got to do 80 how we go in the halves also.
19. Davies will start the season and I hope that uoward curve continues
20. Isa thought he played well last season will find a place most weeks
21.Hamlin bit of a unknown but I have a feeling he will go well
22.. Marshall can he kick on great natural finisher?
23. Wells looks like he will feature more and more future 13and captain?
24. Naverrette not 100% this guys coming back?
25. Ganson will this be the season we get our future 9?
26. Forsyth I didnt think he did anything wrong can he make it.
27. Shorrocks again can he kick on after all tge injuries.
28. Bretherton needs to improve
29 Higgy . Read shorrocks.
Still think we are a quality prop short but squad wise a prop heavy. I would have liked another backrower though Hamlin or Wells may be the answer long term. Looking at pre season FPN looks to be putting In the hard work, if he wants a move back to NRL he may go well. I think we are wing heavy and centre light. If we had brought Sarge in on the back of Gels or another centre then his signing woukd be great squad wise.
Questions for me, can our style change alowing forwards to take controle
Of games. If they do can a half back pairing of Williams Tomkins (if they are)
controle big games, with Powel at 9 and Escare at 1. Again we are looking at
Lockers to glue this together.'"
You have missed Macaulay Davies who is the only natural back rower we have coming through. At almost 21 and having spent a season on loan at workington he is ready to kick on to the next level and really push for a spot in the side. |

Your right I did miss him ... On reflectionI would still rather go into tge seaaon with a bit better ballence having said that I imagine the back row places will be covered by Lockers,Faz Batty, then Joel, Isa, Wells, Hamlin and even Sotton, FPN and Flower who have played 13 . This 8s 0robably season he needs to kick on.

The main question for me is the half back/hooker combo. Id certainly be more confident with Sam in the Halves than Escare and really like the idea of Tommy at 9(if rumour is to be believed and MM has gone). I do fear that there will be little change as Wane is a creature of habit. However if I was selecting the 17 id go :-
Escare
Budgy
Gildart
Sarge
Davis
George
Sam
FPN
Tommy
Flower
Farrell
Bateman
Lockers
Sutton
T
Powell
Clubb
Some excellent strength in dept behind that 17 and i was torn with 3 front rowers on the bench over a backrower but there is the inevitable rotation of Lockers to consider and I certainly think some of those can fill the void in a 'Gallen' type loose forward role and with the experience of Sam in the halves hopefuly the organisation will be there when Lockers isnt. Somehing that isnt easy to do as a fullback acting as an extra pivot

Question. Once a player has made his first team debut does he continue to count towards the salary cap in the following season even if not played?

It's the top 25 earners, so doubt that would be an issue unless they were injured, in which case they could be deregistered |

That'd be mine, apart from swapping Tommy with Powell.
I really like Powell, don't really see the point of having him if he doesn't start, whereas Tommy has more impact from the bench for me. |

Hopefully we'll run with one hooker, both Powell and Leuluai can do 80 mins so I don't see the point of wasting two interchanges we could make better use of.

I’m intrigued what the spine is going to be. I like that a lot of the players can play more than one position
Sam (Full back/ halve back)
Sarge (Centre/ Full back)
Escare ( Full back/ half back/ bench hooker)
Ganson (hooker)
Sharrocks ( half back/ hooker)
Tommy ( hookers/ Halfback)
Lockers (loose/ halfback)
Powell ( hooker/ Half)
Williams ( half/ hooker).
Think we’ll start the season like this
1.) Tomkins
6.) Williams
7.) Escare
9.) Powell
14.) Lealuai
Think the club have real high hopes for Sharrocks and Ganson ( part of the reason MM was let go IMO)
Lots of options excited to see how they all go. Let’s hope they all stay fit this time!

I would be amazed if we started the season with Escare at 7, Powell at 9 and Leuluai sat on the bench. |

What do you reckon then Grimmy?
I just reckon Sam won’t move from FB yet. And Lealuai will add something off the bench more than Powell would. |

So is Lockers. According to an article in Wigan Today he's said it's not been decided yet which I find totally baffling. Wane has known and coached all the potential spine players bar Escare for literally years and has had an entire off season to think about it. If he doesn't know what they are cable of by now and who is best for what position he never will. |
