Yes of course.
I copied to the main thread Sticky last time so we could see all the years.
I'll check it out.

I won't move this one though so it can still be discussed..

What’s anybody know about this Windrow lad? Looks to be a big unit for his age. Been a while since we produced a big player. Without wanting to provoke size rage again I do tend to think of Crowther and especially Batchelor as compact forwards. This lad looks a lot bigger for his age than most, might be wrong as I’ve never actually seen him, just going on the figures I’ve read.

Played well in the academy he is what I would describe as a direct forward and a good tackler, gets in there and gets the player to the floor and generally wins the wrestle. With the academy going back to U19’s again this up coming season him and Harry can play and get some important game time with there being no “official” reserves league.

I think they’ll provide a lot more opposition this time to a few teams, never underestimate the underdog.The lower finishing teams from last season have/are recruiting some decent players.

Have to say that Hull Kr on paper in the forwards look much more prepared.

Leigh just got a decent signing in Lewis Tierney who I think is a decent SL winger they will serve them well. Couple of shrewd signings and Leigh could be competitive.

While I’m happy with what we have for options In the backs and second row/loose I think we are lacking in the front row and will suffer if there’s not some quality and bodies signed up in this area.

One thing I’m hoping puts us at a advantage I Hope is the strong coaching contingent and the extra investment in fitness staff. Investment in this area could see players like batch, Jowitt, Crowther, Croft, walker reach that next level. Fitness is so key these days especially with the speed of the game and less stoppages.

There's four full backs in the squad, two lads who've never played first team and another who's out on loan for the season.

So like most teams then.

Who are the four fullbacks, well of course there are just two. The other two play FB as a back up position but don’t let the truth get in the way will you.

If we had 8 props and 2 Fb’s you’d be moaning that we were two FBs short.

Basically your looking for issues because that’s the bit you enjoy as far as I can tell.

Yeah because we couldn’t possibly beat anyone else, even though we generally do.
