the old nine ole Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 As we approach our seasonal ' friendly' and pre season ..... looking at the signings we have made and the possible balance of the team ..... What do you think would be our strongest 17?? This is my starter for 10; Guzdek Morton Crookes Barnes Potts Sykes Kain Stringer Hemmingway Teanby Walshaw Hale Brown Tonks Adamson T Ward Spicer Sykes and Kain did OK in the halvesl together last year, certainly better than Kain and Speakman , and whilst Sykes might be better at centre, given the squads limitations at half back, I see no other option ..... I don't know anything about Ollett and Foster so I couldn't really comment ..... and I am sure there are many that will prefer Luke at 13 .... just shows, though, how much we will be relying on DR for injuries and the likes!! P.S. Stringer os Sykes for captain??? Stringer for me! ... let Sykesie concentrate on his own game... it might keep him out of trouble with the refs!

That's about as good it will get,except Ward for Hemingway as he hasn't resigned for us,unless you have a bit of inside information ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the old nine ole Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 No.... no inside information other than I think 'Jimbo' implied, somewhere on here, that he had signed! .... if he hasn't then probably Speakman would start at 9 with Ward being the impact sub!!! .... If he has signed then we have a squad of 23 ... if not 22 ... either way we were informed that the squad would be 24 this year .... so still some news to come!!

Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimbobRam Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Would play him most weeks but age his catching up with him now especially with the injures he as been carrying the last few year. Just think he will only play once every two week now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Flatter Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 My selection would be: 1 Guzdek 2 Morton 3 Crookes 4 Sykes 5 Potts 6 Glover 7 Kain 8. Stringer 9. Hemingway 10 Tonks 11 Spicer 12 Walshaw 13 Brown 14 Teanby 15 Adamson, T 16 Sheriffe 17 Ward Sykes would be at centre for me and the half backs could be the opposite way round. Hale and Luke Adamson are omitted as I believe that they are injured. Cannot see us winning, but I hope to be there to find out which way it does go. Think Batley's goalkicker will have an off day and miss a goal. Batley 40 - 12 Dewsbury FTS: Brown MoM: Stringer Att: 1648 Legs, Dews, Legs.
