Is Rowley included in the 13 man squad?

Not the list he gave to me no, the squad will be on the official website tomorrow morning and I did a preview of the tournament for the Bolton News too.

Also look out for Gibson ( a very young but very talented loose forward) and Griffiths (a very able hooker) today, good luck to the guys.

Gibson could be something special, only been playing the game a couple of years and so has been missed by SL.

Sheffield arguably named the strongest squad of all the championship teams.

Yere, Ropati and Lindsay all played as did Szostak, Barlow and Woodcock.

Dewsbury also look a good outside bet with the way they conducted themselves while Fax will be part of the Plate knock out after being edged out of contention by Sheffield following a 16-8 loss to Fev.

On the other side of things Rochdales team today included a certain Darren Shaw, former Leigh Academy winger Tom Draper and trialist from Leigh Miners, a BARLA tourist and ex Easts man Leon Brennan, complete with Alice band to keep hair in check.

Speaking of hair, blimey Carl Forber now sports a Harry Enfield scouser curly top... Also good to see other former Leigh players Jay Duffy, Simon Svabic, Tom Woodcock, Jon Clough and John Boland turning out for Blackpool.
