If you were DP, what’s your strongest pick for the start of 2023 v Leeds?

13 McGuire + 4 Ratchford

There you go.

Fare doos.

I walked into that one.

Dufty
Thewlis
Mata'utia
Ratchford
Ashton
Williams
Drinkwater
Vaughan
Clark
Bullock (Dudson is banned I think)
Nicholson
Currie
Mcguire

Kasiano
Harrison
Mikaele
Walker

Hard to argue with that. Wrench in for one of the centres when fit. Dudson somewhere in the 17 when available.

The only other question for me is whether Philbin gets his form back and replaces Mikaele on the bench.

Good point about Dudson, I think friendlies count against bans.
So far we’ve only got a guarantee v Leigh?
Dudson on a 2 or 3 game ban?

3 Games.

There's me saying we've got too many props. There doesn't seem much of a problem. Philbin won't be back for months & there is always going to be someone suspended/concussed/limping.
Wrench will be months too. So lots can happen.
Not too much of a debate here for first match anyway.

To win a grand final, you need 2 packs. We’ve finally got that.
