Only 25 days to wait now until we start all over again!

What is Rhinos 1st choice team going to look like?

Fullback? Halves? Wingers? Bench? Hookers?

A log of new faces to fit in. I'm looking forward to seeing young Brooks and Potts.

2.worrincy
3.cowling
4.tyrer
5.potts
6.brown

Ambler and divorty not available for Boxing Day. So would bring in Brooke and ward for this match also Ben heaton as it's a friendly and will probably be able to use more subs

Plus Keith Holden Calum cassey and bracek

Whichever way you look at it there is going to some quality players missing out each week! I think we have assembled well.

I'm going to chicken out, obviously Karl will pick his 17 depending on the opposition and the conditions.
One thing that worries me is that you've both picked Rob, last season he was the first player to announce that he had signed a new contract and didn't play again.
Was it because we had a possible two games left against Sheffield?
Don't get me wrong I rate Rob [size=150IF[/size Karl makes sure he gets quality ball in attack and help in defence.
Those high balls away at Sheffield left him exposed and no one assisted him.
We have a great pack, the key this year is the half backs, feed the , who will pass to the wing and we will be back to entertaining rugby and success.
Only my opinion, I might be wrong, I often am.

We need to get Vossy in there!

my contribution - not sure on goalkicker though

1.fieldhouse
2.worrincy
3.cowling
4.heaton
5.Potts
6.brown
7.johnston
8.ambler
9.mennell
10.tonks
11.manning
12. Adamson
13.murrell

14.Divorty
15.kaye
16.bracek
17.robinson

Is Brown a goal kicker?

Yes

That looks a strong bench. One thing that I would say is we need a settled 1st 17 as much as possible. Last season there was far too much chopping and changing.

1)Fieldhouse
2)Worrincy
3)Cowling
4)Ward
5)Potts
6)Johnston
7)Brown


Tonks
9)Kaye
10)Davies
11)Adamson
12)Divorty
13)Murrell
14)Mennell
15)Ambler
16)Brooks
17)Manning

As has already been said, whoever does make our starting 17 each week there will be some quality missing out which can only be good for the competition for places

I agree.Heaton,Holmes,Sherriffe,Tyrer,Reittie,
Bracek,Holden,Robinson and Casey didnt make
my initial 17.

Not one person has put Rettie down to start......KH will have him as one of the first names down most weeks.

I thought that too,but IMO and probably
others wingers are there to score tries.
The extra grunt Reittie offers should come from elsewhere on pitch.

Half serious reply here... IF he was to commentate in the UK nest year, could we get him on board with the coaching staff?!

He can be mascot. We can bow down to him before the match for luck. Then he can be stadium announcer.

Or he can just tell everyone how great we are, far more pleasant on the ear than Stevo, hemmings, carney and those other w*****s

Any more to be added to squad anybody know?

Very good chance of a loan signing from SL.

what's the point of getting a loan signing from SL we will only be helping them out if we need numbers in the squad let's find and develope our own

Luke Ambler was a loan player.
