Sarge is banned so ,subject to how they’re all training ,I’d expect Burgess and Williams to be the left wing combo.
Not ideal but I’ve not been impressed by Costello.

Could they play 3 friendlies to get Sarge back over the line?

Where we finish will depend upon two things the timing of our matches and our injuries
Yes we are probably short, at the moment, of a prop and a hooker but we have good experienced cover for any team we put out; Burke, Lannon, Williams, Livett, Watkins, etc. So we appear to have quality strength in depth and it’s about rotation and keeping the team fit and injury free.
To me, with a bit of luck, 7th or 8th should be doable.
And next season with a squad that gelled and a few weeded out we could again aim for top 5/6 especially on the slopey Moor ground

Or get a couple out on loan Escare/Costello seem out of favour

How can they be out of favour when we haven't played a match yet?

They seemed to be out of favour last year. Rowley brought in Brierley at FB and bought a new centre…or just pure, possibly mis-guided, logic

I worry about our go forward if Sita and King our new props do not play. Burke did not perform to a consistent level towards the end of last year and Luckley is new to super league. Johnson and Ormondroyd work hard but lack size for props and to me are more like 2nd rowers. Would dearly love us to sign another big forward to give us size. If you look at Saints they always play with four props and smash through teams. Our pack competing is critical to the quality of ball the backs get. Last season it was all too slow and we played a lot on the backfoot.

Think last season needs to be forgotten as we had @ different team each week. But the good thing is that towards the end of the season Luckely Ormondroyd and others got valuable game time
And we managed to loan a couple of good forwards.
As has been said, no matter what team, injuries play a major part in where you finish in the League
