Squad is really starting to look tasty. Lussick is a big sticking plaster over our props problem. Will be interesting to see if any more will be signed.

Sarginson is best at centre, Escare is a better full back. No question in my mind, Sarg did well but made too many mistakes. He should play centre

It’s a fantastic squad, my main worry is Brown getting injured, let’s hope he stays fit most of the season. If he does we’re in with a great chance of bettering last year. Very exciting

I was trying to get our most potent weapons Sio and Inu on the pitch together. Both are match winners but I was amazed that until Sio was injured Watson never gave him a game. Then he scored tries for fun.
I assume also it depends on what the rules are: meeting next week I think!
Quite strange all the back line could get injured and we have another of great standard to take its place
RL never dull
Get your squad together, then we'll decide the rules,,,brilliannt

Sarginson Sio Inu Watkins Burgess Tui Brown Lussick Addy Mossop Lannon Greenwood Taylor Ika Ackers Livett Pauli Wells, Johnson , Escare, Aspey, Atkins, Roberts, Burke, Kear?, Williams, Luckley, Costello, Ormondroyd? Largest 26/29? and most experienced squad for a while. All worthy of a starting place Let's hope they can gel can't see Escare being on the money he is a not playing. With Sio not playing in a while i think it will be him to miss out until he can get back in Escare Inu Sarginson Watkins Burgess Tui Brown Mossop Ackers Lussick Pauli Greenwood Taylor |

With Escare, Addy, Luckley and Lussick not having played for a year plus Sio’s long term injury and Marshall’s different approach I wonder if we might see something more like this for the first few games:
Sarginson
Inu/Williams
Costello
Watkins
Burgess
Tui
Brown
Mossop
Ackers
Johnson/Seb
Greenwood
Livett
Taylor
Pauli
Johnson/Seb
Burke
Atkin

Fair enough Twisty. I must have missed that. I thought he hadn’t played since we signed him
I would rather have him at full back and Sarge at centre. But I do love the way Sarge returns the ball when he plays at full back, don’t think I’ve seen anyone ever run it in stronger or more directly than he does. Not much subtlety but so great to watch. Escare will bring more guile than Sarge has
Much as I feel Inu has to be in the squad I think Williams does too. But Burgess is potentially the best winger we’ve had in SL and we know Sio is a natural try scorer. Some tough decisions for Marshall

I guess with starting later and this being a World Cup year so can’t finish later we’ll be having some more fixture pile up again, so gives us a really good opportunity to Mix up the backs and still give them all decent number of games It’s not a problem we’re used to having, but it’s nice!

The full-back role is not a worry though, is it? I'm pretty sure we have several outside backs who can play multiple roles without substantial loss of quality. On other forums we're being given the usual placing of relegation battle material but the fairer ones are saying it looks like a very competitive side. Is has been interesting to read their assessments.
Our pack is light on quality and depth and will struggle over the season seems to be the main idea.A secondary one has been dismissing people like Costello as championship quality which is a bit strange to say the least.

Didn't realise Escare has played in a Grand Final snd a bit at half back for Wigan so good flexibility. And yes last game 13/09/19 Wakefield v London,,,,well rested then
So halfback cover
Brown Tui Atkins Addy Escare
Of course did train with us for a month last season but for some reason didn't stay to play, presumably money
Gigot just left Wakefield, homesick or is it sick of home in Wakefield.

I think Gigot is known to be troublesome
