The Avenger:
A lot been said about our depth this year and it?s true we?ve been able to cover all the injuries with some quality replacements, all that is apart from the half back crisis where we?ve not only lost the first choice but the second and third.
It?s also been brought up about the number of players we actually have missing from the starting 13. It?s probably not a true reflection to say it?s in double figures, more like 5 or 6. But even that?s up for debate because who, apart from Powell & Shenton, can actually say what our starting 13 is?
So I?ll have a guess:
1st choice/Back Up
FB. Jowitt/Rourke
RW. Russell/Walmsley
RC. Scott/Hall
LC. Pratt/Croft
LW. Johnstone/Touchambe
SO. Trueman/Russell
SH. Lino/Stephenson
P. McMeeken/Atoni
H. Hood/Doyle/Smith
P. Uele/Rodwell/Fa?atili
RSR. Storton/Griffin
LSR. Nikotomo/Vangana
LF. Pitts/Cozza
If we had to field that second choice team, whilst obviously a bit weaker, I?d still be pretty positive which is testimony to our strong recruitment over the last 18 months
You missed out the wing/centre from Bradford we signed
