Good stuff !

Let's get the full 13 in there by July

Brilliant!!! Well done all. Great News

Worth noting only 2 other players in that list from The Championship.

and ?????????

Are teams in our division playing to their potencial? or are Championship 1 teams wanting to stake a claim playing at their best already? Oldham and Dewsbury are well fancied for C1 and are represented, yet no representation for Barrow, Leigh, Fev, Whitehaven ect who are all expecting a good season and a challenge for the top places

congratulations lads, all well worth their places, especially Ben... hopefully this will shut up the constant moaners, one of whom called him idle , in the Skircoat Stand.

top stuff chaps. love it

Brilliant - Thought Said might have made th top 5 props however.

nice to see the fax players in there.

although i think i would have had miles greenwood at full back.
