No surprises. 1-13 straight down the line, Jack Hughes is under most pressure but he appears to be Lammy's chosen favourite. Norman, Trout, and Halton are the forward interchanges with Matt Davis reprising his role as replacement dummy half.
The rest could have been drawn out of a hat.

SARL actually reported something useful today, "Leigh’s starting wingers Tom Briscoe and Josh Charnley are 33 and 32 respectively, while full-back Gareth O’Brien is also 32." Whilst not being pre-historic they will need to be managed through the season.

Agreed Sep. I will be attending the pre season game at Wire, and will be looking at our fringe players getting a run out to see how they go. I must admit that cover for fullback and centre weakened us last year, so hopefully there are some surprises in store.

Looking at the squad my concern is that there is insufficient SL first team level quality beyond player no.20.

We have added numbers but not yet enough players of the requisite standard.

A few injuries early on in the coming season and we will be back to where we were towards the end of last season - short of quality and short of points and wins.

If, on the other hand, we stay relatively injury free I think that we will be fine and dangerous and a threat again to every other team in the comp.

Reports in Australia state that Sailor has been asked to be released from his contract but Broncos have refused.
Regardless of club size and talent , if some one wants out they generally get the move the desire.
Be an interesting few weeks to see how this goes
