I guess i'm in the minority then that thinks as a centre i'd rather have Hall!

But your not as fickle as some on here Dave

I reckon that is save to say Dave.

Me too. Pity we couldn't morph Yeaman and Hall. The top centres in the game have always had flair and footballing ability. They've also been able to cope with the other bit of the game that occurs when their team doesn't have the ball.

While a warning is fair enough, that'll hardly have had him quaking in his boots would it?

He's been dropped and no doubt fined, he'll be under no illutions it's last chance saloon.

agreed...cud be a gonna if he fooks up again

And now he might have been number 16 too, instead of 1. It's like me being told I'll have a different computer on my desk at work because I came in late one day. If he needs to play, he'll play regardless of whether he's #1 or #101.

Why leave the 20 free?? why not just name a 28 man squad?
Are we bringing someone in who has specifically requested that number?? Bizzare.

Looks like Kath and Gary are up to the same tricks!! www.rugbyleague.com/rugby-league ... squad.html [iNew signing Ben Cross has been awarded the number 15 shirt whilst the number 20 shirt is currently unallocated for the possibility of a new recruit before the start of the season[/i.

The most surprising thing is that we have a 29 man squad minus no.18 (vacant), minus no.20 (vacant), minus no.22 (Mike Burnett), that is 26 players.

26 minus the 7 academy/inexperienced youth players leaves us with 19 established SL players. Horne and Radford are likely to miss the start of the season.

So we have a fit and raring-to-go squad of 17 players to pick from for the first rovers game.





Certainly makes things easier for our coach.







Is it just me or is that absolutely crazy ??

(for a club that intends to compete that is)

When you put it like that it does make you wonder what the hell is going on.

It's not exactly a squad of 17 players though, you do the young players an injustice.

The lack of depth and quality in the backs and halves for a club with our so called ambitions is questionable at best. Well this is the squad that Agar has manufactured so no excuses this time.

My guess is that Houghton was 20 and Berrigan would have being 9, obviousley now Berrigan has gone Houghton has moved to nine and the club are trying to put some sort of buzz around the 20 shirt.

Maybe they're retiring the number after Houghtons very impressive spell for all of 8 weeks that, apparently, merited an end of year award.

Bit odd that Leeds have done exactly the same thing, why not just name them 1-28 then if we sign someone else they become 29.

Well no....That means we have a fit and raring to go squad of 24 players to pick from.... The young players aren't on full time contracts just to sit there and look pretty.

Thats what I think has happend. Didn't Houghton have the number 20 shirt last season as well?

Think that fitz should be 10, Manu 11 and Westerman 13! But as already mentioned somewhere squad numbers don't mean as much as they used to, we'll have to see how we lone up at the millenium stadium

Don't think our injuries are that bad...yet.

After listening to Agar on Blunderside and reading Wilf's comments about Tansey it looks to me like the intention was to have been Whiting at 1 , Berrigan 3 and Tansey probably 20 to be used as hooker/half cover. Not saying they weren't still intending to bring in extra players but I think the vacant 20 shirt is originally as a result of this rather than deciding to keep it free for Sammut/Chase or whoever.

Also listening to Agar, it looks like he see Westerman as a loose forward.

I thought that because Westrerman got the number 11 shirt he had to play there.
