SQUAD FOR 2019

[RSN]

I'd say sign that French prop we had back end of last season and another prop and we have a complete squad. 

Maybe a couple on loan from Wigan as I'm sure there was some clauses in the Bullock deal about getting 1st choice on loan players. 

Stack will miss 1st half of season due to injury so maybe another 2nd rower whilst he is injured. 

[millomite]

From what I can get from this post and others on the forum, I think there's currently 25 signed up. I've done my best guess at positions below.

Fullback

Theerapol Ritson

Luke Creswell

 Wing

Stargroth Amean

Shane Toal

 Centre

Jake Spedding

Declan Hulme

Deon Cross

Tom Loxam

 Half Backs

Jamie Dallimore

Lewis Charnock

Ryan Johnston

Jake Carter

 Prop

Gareth Hock

Tom Walker

Ryan Duffy

Glenn Riley

 Hooker

Nathan Mossop

Wartovo Puara

 Back rowers

Jarrad Stack

Danny Morrow

Jonno Smith

Matty While

Dan Toal

Bradd Crellin

Martin Aspinwall

 

[morty]

Jake Spedding is a centre

Not sure, there was a post on here saying he was retiring because of his back

[RSN]

Amean will probably be 1st choice full back. 

Deon Cross is a winger. 

I imagine Ritson will start on the wing with Creswell and Toal injured. He's absolutely lightning. Cresswell can obviously cover wing and full back. 

When everyone is fit the competition in the backs will be fierce.

Judging on the current squad a favoured starting 17 could look something like this:

1. Ritson

2. S.Toal

3. Hulme

4. Spedding

5. Amean

6. Dallimore

7. Charnock

8. Walker

9. Puara

10. Duffy 

11. Smith

12. Stack

13. Aspinwall

14. Mossop

15. D.Toal

16. Riley 

17. Hock

 

That 17 with the possibility of a few loans and all the other lads we have signed on, and with hopefully keeping everyone fit, will hopefully push for top 6

it has been said that Shane Toal and Stack will not be fit till the second half of the season.

I haven't been on this site for a while but just to make a correction, Jarrad Stack's injury isn't as bad as first feared and he will be back December/January for pre-season training - Steve Neale

[TMF]

Get Bartez back. Going forward, he worried every team he played against last season. Plus his tackling and commitment was 100%. 

[the man]

Almost over the line with two props that you will like

[Ellie10]

George and Thomas, obviously.  

Any other rumours.  

[morty]

Lithy has had to call it a day due to his back injury I believe

Crellin def is.

Not sure about While, think I just saw that somewhere on the forum:

 

 

[Raider94]

Heard matty while was heading elsewhere, fair play to him if it means more game time.

Joe bullock 12 month loan deal from Wigan . Joking aside , Could it be a new recruit that’s recently left Sheffield ?

Who's left Sheffield?

Oscar Thomas?

Josh Toole but likely to stay in Aus?

Simon Brown

Mark Offerdahl 

 

 

[Maxi mum]

Oscar Thomas didn't get going at the Eagles, for some reason some supporters didn't take to him but I think he can play. I suspect a player who'll come back and have a great game against his old club.

Simon Brown fell out of favour (some supporters think unfairly). Can be really good on the day, still popular at Sheffield.

....Menzie Yere doesn't have a contract but I don't think he would travel that far.

Good luck with whoever you sign.

Signed another png international Willie minoga aka "the freight train"

[Raider94]

Looks like another good signing, also mentioned on Facebook there was a couple more in the pipeline. Certainly looks like we could be in for an exciting season!

He looks a handful on that highlights YouTube video. I take it all Visa paperwork has been sorted for the 3 PNG lads before the announcements as I seem to remember that's what went wrong in 2009 for the Fijians that were supposed to arrive.
