Can't figure out why Broughton has got the number 2 jersey when he plays on the left (number 5 ) wing. Same for Williams

I'd say applehead is very close to what it'll be, only difference I think will be in the 2nd rows. I'd go with

1 - Patten
2 - Broughton
3 - Gleeson
4 - Moon
5 - Williams
6 - Holdsworth
7 - Smith
21 - James
9 - Godwin
10 - Boyle
11 - Ashurst
12 - McPherson
13 - Wild

17 - Feka
20 - Gledhill
24 - Howarth
27 - Anderson

Has Boyle done anything in pre-season to deserve a place in the first team?

He always looks like our slowest, least athletic and least explosive prop. Not a bad player, dependable and fairly reliable, just not quite good enough to be worthy a SL starting spot. Good back up player though.

Jewitt, Neal and Sidlow really need to pull their socks up, if we're ever going to be a force is SL.

Boyle has always been better playing from the bench, but doesn't like to, the reason he left cas is because he wanted to be a starting prop.

5 ex cas players in your team, be good to see williams again, did a good job for us in 2007.

There will be a few late calls with the cas team as jackson, snitch and walker are all coming back from injury and are in a race against time to be fit. Assuming they are fit we will look something like this

owen
dixon
arundel
griffen/thompson
clare
chase
orr
jackson
milner
emmitt
ferres
holmes
mcgoldrick

jones/snitch/davies
clark
massey
walker

Boyle look's unfit and overweight in my eyes. He's very vulnerable in defence any clever halfback, winger or fullback who takes him on will beat him every time he looks very sluggish in the defensive line.
