It will be interesting to see what the 17 is when the season finally gets going, Stevie Ward , Kruise Leeming and Dom Crosby should be in with a shout of being fit.

I doubt Crosby will and pretty sure Leeming will be a fair way off and anyhow i have a feeling Dwyer is the number 1 hooker now and may have his best years infront of him , in fact i hope we can tie him down quickly to a new contract

I like Dwyer but he is not realistically the starting hooker of a top side. He can fill in when the starting hooker is absent and can be a fixture in a sort of Rob Burrow role off the bench but the club, rightly, considers Leeming to be the future of that position in a starting role.

I think it will be good for us. Walker, Briscoe, Leeming, Crosby, Walters and Ward all should be fit and ready to play by July. Then you’ve got Albert, Dupree and Evans who will come back from loans to play if championship is cancelled.

I'd love to see Holroyd around the 17, particularly if they do increase the number of subs and substitutions. From some of the reports he isn't far off and would inject some physicality

What might be interesting is if they decide to play more than one fixture per week, it will definitely give some of the younger players a shot at getting in the first team.

Think Leeming has a lot to prove , despite his obvious potential he has never been a stand out at Midgets

It will be interesting to see which Briscoe gets the nod, Luke was playing well when the season was put on hold.

Nothing good about having Evans or Albert back both duds.

Saw the other day stevie Ward still having trouble with his head dafter exercise, certainly not good, love him as a player but I can’t see him returning to be honest

Time for Wardy to call it a day. Head problems continuing after such a long lay off. Personal wellbeing more important.

Ward should be ok by the time the season restarts in August you would think.

You’d like to think / hope so, but the Instagram post he put on says different. I’d personally sign him on for 2021 season with a view to being fit for that and let him have 2020 off now.

Agreed.It was mentioned when he went to see the specialist i'm sure I read that this sort of injury can take anything from a couple of months up to 9 months.

I'm beginning to think he might call it a day. He is a bright boy with plenty of other options in life.

We say that about him each season. Plays a few matches and then ruled out again the following season. If he doesn't return in August then I think it will be time to get rid.

Not something I hope to be right on be said earlier in the season ward could well call it a day. He has to think longterm, seems a smart lad when it comes to creating opportunities and already has irons in the fire - why risk it all?

On the original question I expect the squad to be the same as before lockdown. If Crosby and leeming are fit they will need to get a level of match fitness before coming into the squad properly.

Only minor change will be Walker starting for Myler.

How long is Walker out for?

He isn't is he?

I thought his foot injury was more serious than first thought?

I thought I'd read he was close to being back, or whatever you call that while in lockdown. Given the season doesn't look like it will restart for at least another two months he should be ok. All bets are off if he has had some kind of relapse of course.

I think Walker has just had another op on his foot as he posted a pic and comment on social media just a few days ago.

Walker was also due a shoulder op, which they were going to try and get sorted while he was out with the foot injury.
