Most definitely Wakefield
If he was going elsewhere surely he'd be going to Fev where the big bucks are.

Puts to bed the idea that Arona is seen as anything other than a prop these days.
As I'm on a roll I also thought Pitts was the obvious choice for LF.
Me and WP are like connected it seems
Personally Pitts was excellent in right SR last year (12) and Tanginoa was very good once he switched back to left SR (11).
It seems odd to me to move Pitts/Tangi both to new sides/positions. Certainly a big risk if the numbers are relevant to positions.
I personally thought Ashurst would be an interchange 13 option with Tangi and Pitts retaining their “best positions”.
Of course the squad numbers may hold 0 relevance to actual positions. Either way I trust the coaching team to select players in their best positions. If they take the risk with moves positionally then they will take the plaudits or criticism either way.
Seems strange to me though if those numbers are to go by.
Also, huge positive here but it’s so good to see a lot of wakey homegrown products in the team!

| I agree but I'd have actually gone Kelepi 11, Batch 12 and Pitts 13

That’s the key, the numbers are a very rough guide especially in on particular case.
In the modern game he will go with what’s needed on the day.
Some players are fixed, Fifita and Battye will prop and TJ is unlikely to appear anywhere else but on the wing.
Pitts, Arona and Tanginoa are much more versatile and although I thing both All three now carry numbers to match their prime positions there is every chance they will play elsewhere.
It’s good in this day and age to have a large number of players who can’t just play more than one position but play them all well.

I agree, I've heard that David F wants to be the goal kicking half-back and he's No 35

Me too. Ashurst at the end of his career and should really be interchange or cover, Batch with a one year deal to impress for more. Long term you’d have to go with him as I think he’s a great player to build around for the next 5-6 seasons

Agree too tbh. Kalepi and Pitts for me are the two guaranteed starters if fit in SR.

Nah, for me Pitts has matured into the ideal LF
Kelepi and anyone from Ashurst, Batch, Crowther and so on.

I don’t disagree that Pitts could be a great LF but there’s an element of risk moving him from his experienced position of right SR where he’s been excellent.
We certainly do have the quality to at least try him there with the players you have listed.
I guess that’s what pre season games will be for.
If Pitts is to play LF then it will be tough for Crowther/Walker/O’Donnovan to push their way in this year other than interchange but Pitts is a full 80 player.
I’m happy with the squad reading it down the list. I would prefer another utility to back to cover full back and Halves (Hampshire would be ideal to complete squad) but if we run with what we have we will go fine unless we get a couple of injuries in the halfs/ backs but we will have to see.

| Didn't Pitts play 13 at London?
I may have made that up though.

Wouldn't you say Crowther had already pushed his way in, he's no rookie anymore with 70 SL games under his belt, he is an S/R despite playing almost anywhere asked? So I wouldn't class him with those players but with Batchelor and Ashurst, with Kelepi a class above. That's a fair few options before worrying about Pitts playing LF IMHO.

Yes.
He's done it all tbf but last year for me his game awareness, especially in defence, went dramatically upwards. He became a footballing forward, which to me is always been the role of an LF, a link between the pack and the halves.
