Although Seizer has missed a few ganes, the last 3 seasons he has played 55 games, whilst Trueman has played 44.
Rapana has played over 20 games just about every season. Same with Asista apart from this year.
When was the last time we signed a captain and recent dream team player along with 2 players from the NRL who are first choice players.
Hopefully a new backroom team wi help this also and keep the likes of Abdul fitter, which he has shown he can do at London amd his first few seasons at Rovers, we're he was in MOS contention and playing internationally. if this is our starting lineup first game, I can't see how anyone can say it is well ahead of this seasons side and that's without any coaching impact.
Walker Barron Hardraker Rapana Martin Abdul Seizer Ese Ese Cust Aydin Cartwright Holmes Asiata
Sao Ashworth Staveley Balmforth
It’s a lot stronger than this season and enough experienced players to control a game but,and I’m not having a go…why Rapana in centre when he is a winger f/b…I’d have him at f/b and chamberlain in centre with Dawson/litten and possibly a n other as back up…Robbie storry at Broncos…Hull lad,fast and he is looking for a club?

Agree on hooker, Balmforth has some work to do, but to be fair he isn't a 70 minute hooker (yet)
That’s why I don’t get worked up about “injury prone” players…we are getting the back room staff sorted and fair play to Myler for recognising this.Look at Tom Johnstone..best winger in S/L but would you have signed him before Catalan…no..Hardly missed a game,apart from now and is a better winger than he was.

hardly missed a game until he signed back for wakey
Like I said on the cas thread…would next seasons spine have cocked up the 13 v 11 spell….people may not like the players and be the recruitment we wanted,I’m unsure on some but they are here but they are experienced players,in key positions.If a h/b is injured and they will be at some point then we can bring Cust in and not be forced to play Charles but if we do..he will have a experienced half with him…same as centre and winger and f/b.This a part people are maybe overlooking….we will have experienced,battle hardens players who will help the young kids.
