Now we can see the squad shaping up what do you think our realistic 1 to 17 will be. Who will be our star turns, who will be our top scorer and points machine and who will be kicking for goal? This could be interesting

Stand out player will be Bobby Blair, points machine possibly Minnsie and Goal Kicker is dependant on if JM stays!!! That my opinion

The local rag is making out that Dixon wants to stay, and if we can't sign up Mantellato, then signing Shaw is paramount for his kicking as well as his full back position.

the problem with the Italian stallion is that he must be the slowest winger in rugby league ok for championship

Yep but correct me if I'm wrong here but wasn't the stallion the top points scorer before super 8's last year with over 300 points. Not bad for someone who can't run. Maybe we have short memories.

hes a winger who kicks goals will score points like the player just not quick enough

We don't expect him to go 100m for a try but he brings the ball out well scores plenty of tries and kicks goals Dixon on the other hand is probably the fastest winger in the league but which would you rather have ( I'd have both personally)

Frankie knows.

Dixon has been given enough chances and hasn't shown any improvement, I think we need to sign Mantellatto and Shaw, we can also give Oakes a good run next year. It's the pack that concerns me again, as I see it, we have Scruton, Mulhern and Moran as props which isn't good enough for any league. If we re-sign Greenwood he will be our star player.

I think next seasons team that starts the campaign will be something like;

1, Shaw/Oakes
2, Dixon/Wardill
3, Salter
4, Minns
5, Oakes/Shaw
6, Maurice Blair/Addy
7, Matty Marsh
8, Mitch Clark
9, Shaun Lunt
10, Scruton
11, Donaldson
12, Greenwood
13, TBC
14, Mulhern
15, Horne
16, Lawler
17, Clarkson

Think you'll need to find space for Scruton & Charlie

Sorry, I forgot abour Scruton, Charlie I would have as a reserve to the reserves, his sub standard performances and ill discipline need addressing before he gets back in the team IMO. At a push Clarkson could play loose and I could fnd a place for him on the bench but I do believe that he has had his day.

1, Shaw/Oakes
2, Dixon/Wardill
3, Salter
4, Minns
5, Oakes/Shaw
6, Maurice Blair/Addy
7, Matty Marsh
8, Mitch Clark
9, Shaun Lunt
10, Scruton
11, Donaldson
12, Greenwood
13, Clarkson
14, Mulhern
15, Horne
16, Lawler
17, Cockayne or A N Other

You want get an argument from me on that, but unfortunately someone on the coaching team see's something we don't.
He's lost the ability to return the ball and often falls of the tackle. We can only hope T. S. is a man who can make hard decisions.

Fingers Crossed

Has Greenwood signed, Zero Tackle seems to think that he has?
