11 Home grown players and a shortage of props, langley down as 13 will probably be playing in the front row. Not too bad considering, if we stay relatively fit we'll compete at least, which given whats happened I'll take every day. Just glad I still have a club, being competitive would be a bonus. Need to add a couple of props and hope Purtell is ok to resume playing.

Out of interest, how do you see your back row lining up if Langley is played up front?

I think Donaldson will get a lot of game time. He seemed quite well thought of before the injury he had. I think Bateman will play LF with Whitehead and Donaldson in the second row. Ben Evans also had a decent series for Wales playing right second row, not sure he'll dislodge the above, but he will do a job if called upon.

Well I would play Whitehead, Bateman and Addy, with Addy at 13. I think Bateman is more dangerous running wide in the 2nd row inside Lulia. Olibison and Walker will also get plenty of time in the 2nd row and will probably be ahead of Addy in Cummins thinking (but I really rate Addy and would like to see him get a run at 13). Donaldson is coming back from injury and could easily get into the starting backrow, he was making a first team spot his before his last injury, but it will probably depend how he comes through preseason and if he can stay injury free.

Lots of home grown talent in the backrow to build a team around, but it feels very inexperienced to me and we'll miss Elima a lot. Whichever way FC goes there will be a lot of rotation in the backrow I think.

Better that way than experienced with no local talent coming through. That back row could be formidable with a season under their belt

A lot of players who can't/don't tackle in the KR team this year looking at that squad!

That does seem to be true if a little harsh on some people. I think attacking wise KRs squad looks good though. You score 5 tries we will score 6 i think they are aiming for. Could be an exciting year

Quote ="Tigerade"Tigers squad for 2013:- www.castigers.com/article.php?id=2690'" Some good players there but as with many teams its the depth of the squad that will decide the season. 1-13 maybe even 17 are ok but it soon drops off. Cas youngsters tend to do well when tested though so we'll see. Millward alludes to that himself of course.

That's an odd squad number for Sarginson, has he fallen out of favour slightly at the Broncos?

They're the same as last years so don't read too much into them.

Can't be any worse than last year! We are def going for the score alot tactic!

What number do the crowd get at the Broncos



here we go

They get 25-50.... 1 each!!

Is it just me, or have teams simply stuck with last year's numbers and had more players numbered out of position (or first team players given numbers outside the 17) this year compared to other years? Odd trend out of nowhere.
