Things are looking good for next year - Starting 17????? : Fri Nov 11, 2016 9:42 am  

Think the club have made some astute signings for next season and this is how I possibly see the team starting with some strong options in the squad to fill injuries....

1 Quinlan (pretty sure he is on his way) if not Shaw and Wardill on wing....
2 Oakes
3 Minns
4 Hefferman
5 Shaw
6 Abdul
7 Ellis
8 Scruton
9 Lunt
10 Mitch Clark
11 Blair
12 Greenwood
13 Addy

14 Tilse
15 Lawler
16 Clarkson
17 Donaldson

Cockcayne, Wardill, Harris, Cator, Marsh, Salter, Horne, Mulhearn, Moran, Milton, Jubb (Think that everyone up to press)

I would say this is a squad more than capable of blitzing the championship.

With that squad you'll win the Championship by a country mile however, I don't think it's strong enough to get you in to SL unless you sign 3/4 high quality players at the back end of the season like Leigh did.

I think from all the rumblings coming out of the club that is the plan. Fingers Crossed

You should have a fair amount of the cap left. I hope you go back up but don't tell anyone as I'm a Hull fan!

to be fair it is good for the City and the Game to have both teams in SL

IMO I don't think he is good enough........at least yet!

With Sheens saying that Rovers are looking to play Marsh at Fullback I can't see Quinlan coming in. Hope I'm wrong.

Head coach Tim Sheens said: “Along with Jamie Ellis, Jordan gives us another half back with Super League experience and I’m keen to work with both players and help them improve.

“We’re looking at playing Matty Marsh at full back with Ben Cockayne playing there and on the wing. The squad is starting to take shape and the spine of the team is looking strong with Shaun Lunt at hooker as well.
