That would be roughly my team too
With huby on the bench the exception

Shows you how much we've come on as a team and squad too when we can list a starting team like that and no huby or horro in it

This is a squad we could only dream about a few short years ago , hats off to all involved at the club for assembling a squad that I’m sure will be slugging it out with the big clubs .
One of my hopes this coming season is that we give the challenge cup a real dig

No idea why you have Hampshire at F/B

Also the list is
Luke Hooley
Jack Croft
Yusuf Aydin
Lewis Wray
Tyrone Travis
Lee Kershaw

Ackroyd left ages ago.

You'll see why I have him at fullback when the season starts, might not wear the number 1 shirt but you'll see

Funny how opinions differ I don't see Hampshire as a FB at all, less you know something different?

Re: This forthcoming season : Thu Nov 08, 2018 3:59 pm  

I also see Hampsh at FB, I get a feeling CC hasn't that much faith in Jowett.

But it's not that long since he signed him on a longer contract?
I personally don't care who's at FB as long as he's competent.
You guys who want Hampshire there must have seen something in him for that role, I just thought he was coming on nicely at half back.

I like Hampshire to half back but if Brough plays I'd rather have him at fullback than not play him.
His line running and passing from fullback is great and it will plug the gap left by Grix.
I won't be offended if Jowitt plays though. Far safer at the back.

Also, Kirmond is behind Batch and Horo. I'd love him to get back to full fitness but he has some work to do yet.
And I thnk prop will be interesting.
Assuming Big Dave is fit and Pauli is not unfit, we have Kopczak Huby England and King competing for 2 spots.
