wouldn't be surprised if Powell announces a squad in the next couple of days but like you see above I'd expect a strongish team then youngsters second half.

I'd expect Green to be in there too.
As we have Millo, Moors, JSL, Cook and Massey. I think our forwards are pretty much sorted with maybe one bench spot up for grabs.
At this moment team looks like:
Roberts, TBC, Webster, Shenton, Eden, Ellis/Trueman, Gale, Millo, McShane, Massey, Wardle, McMeeken, Milner.
Subs: Moors, JSL, Cook, TBC
So Minikin/Lo/Clare/Egodo to play for final wing spot.
I don't think we'll risk Ellis but give Trueman another shot to lead the team and get some experience, and then one spot on the bench reserved for another prop (Green/Springer/Clark) or a backrower (Holmes/Foster)
In the spirit of the final Blackadder episode - Goooodbyeee!

I wouldn't say cooky is dead set.
I think number 2 is to play for.
number 6 to play for
16 & 17 between green, cook, Holmes, foster.
I think if we had another super league team to play he wouldn't risk anyone but with it being our last game and some lads lacking match fitness or new to the squad it'll be a better team than expected.

I'm in agreement with Dez, Green plays at Saints for me too.

Re: Thunder
The Fev friendly is no measure given it’s a run out and they aren’t a SL team.
He played well versus Leeds but he needs to do it consistently. Cook was our best prop last season and for me the shirt has to be taken off him off the back of it.

Re: Thunder
Whoever gets the shirt, it's nice to be able to debate a selection dilemma for a prop. Especially after Green was slated so much when we signed him. Lets hope, with the squad depth that we have, DP has a lot of these headaches throughout the season with players pushing for places in the 17 week in week out.HuddsTigers wrote:The Fev friendly is no measure given it’s a run out and they aren’t a SL team.

Re: Thunder
Me too and i think he will and start.derbystiger wrote:I'm in agreement with Dez, Green plays at Saints for me too.
Massey to bench.
Which means 2 of these regulars from last year oggy, cook, foster will miss out.
Re: Thunder
Hes got to start hes the kind of prop we needed last year i didnt like fact he didnt play last year but who cares powell found him he was correct in his judgment
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have

Re: Thunder
Is he as good defensively as Foster and Oggy? All a question of a balanced team.

different position.
still think DP will have 3 props and 1 back rower.
Massey, Jesse shoe ins. cook/green and fozz/oggy
Re: Thunder
no disrespect intended to Thunder, but the division they play in is only slightly better than the league the top amateur sides play in, it shows when they are drawn together in the challenge cup one result last year Siddle v Toronto was a close game and i do believe one or two others got turned over, i would not play any of the lads that have had a game in any of the friendly's just in case of injuries
Re: Thunder
I weren't far off! Looks like Gadwin will be going into the season with no game time under his belt.

Re: Thunder
For me the full back spot will go to roberts however I think he’s under done having only played 40mins meeks for me didn’t show much in his 40 but suppose he’s just getting back in to the swing of it green is a must offers something different to most our other forwards think Truman has done really well but I’d give Ellis he first nod his kicking was top draw against leeds
