Suspect walker may get nod ahead of Olbison for bench 2nd row spot just to give us an experienced head but otherwise that's probably our strongest team as it stands.

To be honest I totally forgot about Walker...

Is Platt still on the books? I know there were big rumours circulating about him going to Salford, but don't think i have seen anything official?

If Southernwood has gone to Whitehaven what's the situation with Jay Rossi and Jobe Murphy? Are they still here? In the squad? Ready to play?

Salford have said that they want to sign him but the deal has been held up due to their financial issues.

I think Murphy is, he signed a new deal, so unless he refused to transfer he will/should be still here. Was training with 1st team squad last year.

Agree with this!

I'd like to see a lineup like this:

1. Kearney
2. Foster
3. Lulia
4. Purtell/Blythe
5. Kear
6. Sammut
7. Gale
8. Naz
9. L'Estrange
10. Langley
11. Bateman
12. Whitehead
13. Donaldson
14. Diskin
15. New Prop
16. Scrutton
17. Olbison

Donaldson as solid as Langley in defence so a good swap for 13... pretty sure this is not how it will work out with his injury record, Maybe Addy, looked really good at 13 in the KR comeback.

I doubt Ben Evans would have signed on loan to sit outside the 17. He could do that at Wire, at a better side without the need to travel.

Cummins said we signed him in a support role and isnt going to be playing every game, they'll be checking him out in pre. I dont think he'll be a regular fixture at prop for us, especially if we manager to land another experienced fella.

Suspect that is right. There are bound to be injuries amongst the props though, and Ben will be higher in the pecking order here than he was at Wire, so I reckon the thinking is right and suits both (or all three) parties.
