Quote ="Odemwingie"Everyone in the starting 13 played here last season, any new signings must earn their way into an already champion team.
The deapth in the squad blows everyone else out of the water IMO.'"
Depth is a massive factor...........Presuming that 1-17 play each week, who in Super League will be able to put out a stronger bench, never mind team, than this...........
14 PAUL PRESCOTT
15 JEFF LIMA
16 RYAN HOFFMAN
17 BRETT FINCH
Thats pretty awesome IMO, especially when compared to our main rivals;
Saints
14 Scott Moore
15 Louie McCarthy Scarsbrook
16 Paul Clough
17 Gary Wheeler
Leeds
14. Ali Lauitiiti
15. Ben Cross
16. Ryan Bailey
17. Ian Kirke
Huddersfield
14 Simon Finnigan
15 Andy Raleigh
16 Darrell Griffin
17 Danny Kirmond
All with at least one pretty average youngster in the starting 17, never mind going beyond that shows you how threadbare some of their squads have been with too much investment centred in the first 13!!
Add to that we STILL have players of the calabre of AMOS ROBERTS, EAMON O'CARROLL, LEE MOSSOP
LIAM FARRELL, CHRIS TUSON in RESERVE.........when all Saints and Leeds can call on beyond there inital 17 are DISTINCTLY average youngsters like Jay Pitts, Ben Jones Bishop, Kyle Amor, Mike Coady, Matty Ashurst
Andrew Dixon, Jonny Lomax, Sean Magenniss, Gareth Frodsham etc!
Might as well hand us the league now
