Well, with Dobson, Cooke, Murrell/Hodgson, Briscoe, and I don't see why Jake can't be included in this as he can pass the ball a bit, we have, imo of course a lot of ball handlers

Dobson and Cooke, yes but I dont count a hooker as a ball handler(as such)as they spend all the game at acting half and Briscoe is no ball handler IMO.

I think you need at least 3 good ball handlers to give the options you need, it drives me mad seeing a prop at first receiver on the 4th/5th tackle in the oppo's 20m, and I remember seeing happen on a couple of occasions v Bradford.

19 from super league page:

Briscoe, Fox, Welham, Webster, Ratu, Colbon, Cooke, Dobson, Vella, Lovegrove, Wheeldon, Murrell, Newton, Cook, Watts, Netherton, Fisher, Cockayne, I'Anson.

Fisher comes in from the cold, throwing away his blanket and bovril to stymy (sp?) young Hodgson's development.

Think the 17 is pretty clear with the last 3 listed competing for the interchange hooker/utility role.

Webster at stand off must rank with some of the most mis-guided selections of all time, inc Morgans own Mansson to centre, Hulls Briscoe on the wing, GBs Horne on the wing, Roger Millwards Kerry Boustead at full back etc etc..

Morgan is like one of those people who veer between genius and madness, capable of some great things, yet some rank awful ones as well..

I await Sunday with interest, but have been watching RL more than long enough to realise Jake will never make a stand off as long hes got the proverbial....has not increased my optimism for our chances this season at all..

Cooke will play the exact same role at LF as he does at SO, I think it will be Webster who plays the LF role, as most teams apart from Leeds (the best team) play a extra running running forward at LF these days.

I wish more teams would play a ball handling LF.

Not sure why he doesnt play Murrel at LF, and Fisher and Hodgson as your two hookers, it when well for the majority of last season.

hodgson still 3rd choice hooker then?

And people say Agar's tactics are predictable and ineffective.

And much like Scott Wheeldon, once he's had all the tripe he learnt at Hull coached out of him he will be. I think it took Justin until about round 4 until he was happy that he'd sorted Scott out

Morgan has gone on record as saying he is ready for super league now.
