Going to savour Saturday for a bit before I start losing too much sleep about 2019, but I really do think that Lam has a hell of a job.

I get what people say about wanting a more attacking style of Rugby, but I wonder if trying to implement this, with a squad of players that have been recruited & trained to suit another style entirely & with the loss of a few key players will be too much of an ask.

Really strong cultures, the sort of which leads to defensive displays like we have seen in recent weeks, takes a huge amount of work and time to create, but they can be lost in no time at all.

Hard to see what's round the corner & obviously I hope I'm wrong, but I expect 2019 to be a transitional year before Edwards.

1. Escare
2. Manfredi
3. Gildart
4. Hankinson - Kicker
5. Davies
6. Williams
7. Maloney ?
8. Navarette
9. Leuluai
10. Flower
11. Greenwood
12. Farrell
13. Hamlin
14. Clubb
15. Tagataese ?

I’d expect to see O’Loughlin at 13 and Hamlin on the bench and maybe Joe Bullock

Black piping

Red Shorts.

Do we still have anyone to come back from injury?

Marshall? Hankinson?

Jack Wells, Joe Burgess. Not sure what's happening to Liam Forsyth and Jack Higginson.

Will be interesting when all our wingers are fit!!

Back in the real world:

1. Hardaker

10. Flower
11. Greenwood
12. Farrell
13. O'Loughlin
