# We look short of depth and talent in the outside backs- if we could get Pete Hodgo & Tozer back that would look alot better.
# Forwards look okay however i am yet to be convinced that Dene Miller can be a 2nd Rower (just squad number i hope). Hopefully Al Barker will come back however the young guys look good and good to see that they have picked up a couple of Quins boys.
# Chad Iles- halfback looks like a great signing....played at Leigh last season and had good reports from them.
All in all, not a bad squad. Very young which is not a bad thing. Best thing is to see so many London youngsters in the squad. I reckon the visa rule could be a blessing in disguse for the club and may be abe to shed the "Backpacker Club" status we have amongst the league.
Beyond this backline I'd be a little concerned though. I Agree, I'm looking forward to Sunday week to see them in action.
Depth will be the key this season however I think the club is going forward with Callum in charge and getting back to what it should be after the Latham years.
Looking forward to the game next Sunday.
You may be right on the lack of depth out wide, but in all likelihood 1 to 17 wont line-up like that. Coleman will go to full-back, Isles to half and Miller can play centre. Young Junor is probably not much behind Simms in the pecking order of wing spots. I was impressed by Fountain in the centres at the capital challenge, hopefully he can have a good season.
