Looking at that squad you can see where we are still light in quality & power.

Sadly, totally agree. Comparison to Wigan squad they are a long way ahead on pace, power and quality. They should be really challenging/winning pots this year.

To be fair I also agree, Wigan do look strong but who knows.

For me the comparison to the legends that played the last part of the game against Bradford shows how far we’ve fallen.

Would any of our current squad get into the 04-10 squad?

Walker
Evans Newman Hurrell Handley
Lui Gale
Seumanufagai Dwyer Prior
Martin Ward
Smith

Myler, Cuthbertson, Oledzki, Mellor/Donaldson/Sutcliffe.

To be fair its an improvement on the last 2 years but whilst im all for giving our promising youngsters gametime the need for proven quality is thrre for all to see.
I also hoped Sinfield would have learned by now that signinghas beens & never will bes gets us nowhere.

Yes quite a few would, the Legends were obviously exactly that but there has been quite a few players within the squad throughout the ‘glory years’ that were just squad fillers

There certainly was. Still debatable any of our current squad would still get in though. Possibly Ward?
