I know we've had a few similar threads, but with Pryce's departure confirmed, how will we line up ? It'll interesting to see where all our backrowers fit in. Personally I'd go with :



Wellens

Gardner

Shenton

Meli

Foster

Hohaia

Lomax

Perry

Roby

Puletua

Laffranchi

Soliola

Wilkin



Moore/Flanagan

Flannery

LMS

Clough



Leaving us with Moore/Flanagan, Gaskell, Armstrong, Magennis, Dixon, Ashurst and Wheeler in reserve. Doesn't look all doom and gloom, but I think we still need another new face if we're going to challenge.

5th is where it will leave us.

Your only real loss, based on the fact that Eastmond and Pryce have barely played this year is Graham. A big one admittedly.



However, you bring in Laffranchi, Flanagan and Hohaiha - all very good players and you say 5th, Sad-end?



Bet you're the life and soul of a party aren't you

To be fair, if Eastmond and Pryce had been fit, I think we'd be challenging Wigan and Warrington. I reckon we'll still be top 4, our pack is up there with the best in the league, but having a halfback combination of Hohaia and Lomax worries me. Lomax undoubtly has the talent, but is still inexperienced, whereas Hohaia is a fullback by trade and has had a horrible season in the NRL. It'll be interesting to see what Simmons does with what he's got.

Yup I am.



Losing Graham is the biggest possible blow. He's our best player. Leon is our best creative player.



5th may be an exageration, but this recruitment is poor again and will cement us in the second division within SL.



Meanwhile Huddersfield continue to add to their impressive squad with a couple of improvements in the pack which they needed and Catalans look very strong, particularly if they did manage to bag Carney.

1 - OAP

2 - Teenager

3 - Teenager

4 - Teenager

5 - Teenager

6 - Teenager

7 - Teenager

8 - Teenager

9 - Teenager

10 - Teenager

11 - Teenager

12 - Teenager

13 - Teenager



14 - Teenager

15 - Teenager

16 - Teenager

17 - Teenager

and another season of winning nothing will follow. Where is our kicking game going to come from? we need an experienced halfback to play alondside Lomax (with Gaskell as backup) and we need Hohaia at fullback which is his position. Wello should be moved into the pack or used as a utility.

1. Wellens

2. Gardner/Makinson

3. Shenton

4. Meli

5. Foster

6. Hohaia

7. Lomax

8. Perry

9. Roby

10. Laffranchi

11. Soliola

12. Flanagan

13. Wilkin



14. Moore

15. Puletua

16. LMS

17. Wheeler



Giving us guys like Gaskell, Clough, Maggenis, Flannery etc as back up. Squad-wise we are looking pretty strong. The only question is who is going to be the gamebreaker we have lacked this year.

The word solid is very true. If everyone stayed fit we'd be solid. If 3 or 4 of those are injured we're in major trouble and we won't win a thing. Is that good enough?



Hohaia is a terrible signing. His form is apparently terrible and he isn't a half back.

You need a new Full Back.

we've got a worldcup winning fullback coming, sadly we probably wont play him there

The front row is excellent IMO, lomax will have the experience of playing at least one full season. Hohaia is Off form but that could be just temporary. Most of the team is very young, the future could be bright!
