Great idea.

I merely came on here yesterday, answering a valid question, and yet again the same people pulling individual s apart and derailing threads

That really isn't helping!

FWIW, I see a pattern in the squad numbers, and that is that there seems to be faith in the 1-13, that are senior players remaining from last year.

I'm not reading a great deal into these, and how our first choice squad would be, (eg, I wouldn't see Battye as first choice prop, and I see Jordy as our first choice number 13.

You would also have to ask the question, where does Proctor fit in and Langi. With that in mind, I'd presume maybe Kelepi and Proctor interchanging. Also, with Langis versatility, he could be an asset to us on the bench.

Quite a bit of competition across the squad, with the added bonus of how some of our young guns look.

That's a name I have not heard mentioned before. Yet another young prop, all good stuff

He was highly rated last year but I have not seen much of him tbh.

Not sure how long he’s been with the club.

I suspect he has replaced Shaw, which is sad for Shaw but as they say one man’s misfortune.

Mash is showing a lot of faith in the youngsters.

Full squad

I’m very happy with that.

It’s not too shabby tbh. Plenty of proven talent and some genuinely good youngsters.

There are 12 players in that team who have come directly from our academy, and a few more who started there before going elsewhere, Pitts and Kaye.

That’s a good return in anyone’s books. Half the squad is home grown, so let’s have no more rubbish about not giving youth a go.

Yes having plenty of 'Wakey' in the squad is always a good thing in my book, we even have it in the coaching staff.
