That looks a cracking 17 imo. Bags of pace, plenty of size, if Miller can start to reach his potential that team could really fire. Plus there will be a couple more to come.'"
Paper teams win paper cups.
I don't see that team as much stronger than the one this year, which bent over.

7 of those guys didn't play against Huddersfield. Two of the guys who didn't play are in the dream team.

Yet we were one of 3 teams to reach a final and won as many playoff games as Leeds, Saints and Huddersfield.
Is the side I posted good enough to win Superleague? Probably not, but it is better than we had this time last year and who knows what effect a new coaching set up will have? We have some really promising kids coming through, who is to say we won't unearth a new Lineham or Shaul?
As a comparison this is the side that took the field against Leeds last year (I have included Ellis and omitted Johnson since he was all set to play at half past 7).
McDonnel
Crookes
Arundel
Yeaman
Briscoe
Holdsworth
Seymour
Pitts
Houghton
Lynch
Galea
Ellis
Westerman
Whiting
Heremaia
O'Meley
Green
Better all over the field imo.

I don't mean every position. I mean that in general our backs look stronger, our forwards look marginally stronger and our halves are potentially stronger but certainly no weaker (depends how Miller develops).
Do you disagree?

I disagree with everything you say.
You have lost an international winger and not replaced him with the same quality.
You have lost an international second row forward and not replaced him with the same quality.
Your halves are as you say, are only potentially stronger, no improvement and its more of the same.
You have replaced like for like regarding Paea and O'Meley.
I will get plenty of stick but so far I can't see where you think your squad has improved.

| Much rather have Tuson over Tickle who's hardly a international player IMO. Actually glad he's left apart from his kicking.
The backs are much weaker at all but TB is class, Biggs will be good for us and will suprise a lot of people.
Forwards are better balanced although I'm not convinced by the Feka signing and I still expect another prop to come in.
Like I said the main thing about next seasons squad is it's more balanced.

More balanced? You have practically replaced like for like in terms of positions of players leaving, as it stands its a very similar squad as this seasons.

I assume the international back row is Tickle? He was garbage last year and Tuson is a big improvement on 2013 Tickle imo.
Paea is a better player than O'Meley. Ogre was great for us, but was past his sell by date. Again, only my opinion. Paleaasina is an unknown quantity but he certainly adds size and aggression. Lynch is a loss but at the end of the day he was just a work horse. We have plenty of those.
In the backs we unearthed 3 of the best young players in Superleague, Shaul, Crooks and Lineham. Yes Briscoe is a loss, but as long as Biggs isn't a total liability I think that overall out back division is better, mainly due to the emergence and improvement of those three.
It's all down to opinions, but I am happy with side we are putting together.
