This got me thinking

A. Very few teams could do this
B. It would dramatically reduce the level of Superleague in the short term so the powers that be would not allow it.

But What would your team be (and everyone is fit). The rules are simple, you can have as many overseas players as you want but you can only play 5 in any given game. Im counting BRITISH BORN/COME THROUGH THE ACADEMY players here so Hanson ( he was born here wasnt he?) would count Mary wouldnt.

1. Mathers (I know dodgy start)
2. Richards. (1)
3. Carmont (2)
4. Goulding
5. Pryce
6. Smith (3)
7. S.Tompkins
8. Fielden
9. Piggy (4)
10. Coley
11. Hanson
12. O'loughlin
13. J.Tompkins

Bench (from the rest of the squad but i only have one place left)
14. Feka (5)
15. Hock
16. Mclorum
17. O'carrol/Prescot on a rotation with coley.

18. Bailey.

I actually think that would be a stronger side than we will put out most weeks!

I'd be tempted to drop Coley and play Prescott from the start. Other than Mathers, it seems a strong team.

[quote]We need some second phase rugby or we will get hammered/quote] Would we though bar perhaps saints/leeds, how many other superleague clubs with the rosters they have this season could compete with that side? I dont think any.
