WN83 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 A look to the future, mixed with plenty of mainstays. I’m surprised Cam Smith isn’t in as well tbh. He’s a throwback and a point of difference we could potentially use in the forwards against the sides from down under. Plenty of time for that to change though but the competition will be tough, with Smithies playing extremely well, Knowles obviously a top player and Radley being first choice. He does feel like a good bench option, alongside one of those however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMEGA Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I like almost every single selection but I cannot make a case for Morgan Smithies over Cameron Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo5 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Pretty exciting squad & not many complaints over the selections/non selections & with the NRL players to come in it shows we have some genuine depth now in most positions.

daz39 Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Glad Ollie Wilson has got some recognition, though it could have been Owen Trout or Matty English or all 3 of them really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSaint Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 I’d go with: 1. Welsby 2. Ashton 3. Newman 4. Wardle 5. Johnstone 6. Williams 7. H Smith 8. Oledzki 9. Clarke 10. Walmsley 11. Nicholson 12. McMeeken 13. Smithies 14. Harvard 15. Lees 16. Pearce-Paul 17. Ackers Planning for 2025. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I'd argue much with that team, maybe give a younger prop a go ahead of Walmsley as we know what he can do. Before the season I'd have had Dodd ahead of Smith but not now after what I've seen of them this year so far 100% League 0% Union Just because I don't know doesn't mean I don't understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Radley is prone to getting a ban or two. Luckily we have the squeaky clean Morgan Knowles as backup. 1 4 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

shrewsbury roughyed Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Great to see Tyler Dupree in there. Not long since he was playing for Oldham. Makes you wonder how many as yet 'undiscovered' top level players are in league 1 and Championship, who with dedication, full time training and opportunity could make the same journey. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty Ashton is in the squad as well who was playing Championship with us at Swinton, Ackers was at Swinton when Warrington released him and Marshall played a year on loan as Wigan were not sure if he would make it, round that off with players like Frankie Halton who swinton signed from Leigh Miners and now is playing for Hull KR and alongside players like Dupree who stood out a mile when we played Oldham. I think Louis Brogan will be another one at Swinton who goes on to better things at the end of the season if he applies himself "When you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose; it's how drunk you get." -Homer Simpson "I couldn't be more chuffed if I were a badger at the start of the mating season" Ian Holloway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
