It will probably be Owens at full back but I prefer Fleming over him, unless Owens can stay fit and lose a few pounds. Edge for me in the centre and could fight for a centre, wing, Fullback or even Second row. He is that versatile I feel a great squad asset and I know he prefers centre. I want Walker as the last resort prop and might have to go out on loan to get fitter as Hatton, Farnworth, Johnson and Amor are better. I would like a 2nd Rower or winger signing if another signing? If no more signings possibly save some for a few loan from Super league, where we are not so great after injuries? Leigh, Warrington and Saints should have 1 or 2 spare who don't play during the season.
@pascal You need to cut down on those baguettes & wine!
Hulme has been released & no confirmation yet that Flemming has re signed. I hope he has or does but he may feel he is not first choice. I would play him at centre but can ably play at full back too.
Slightly concerning Fleming has yet to be announced. Our best back last season imo, going well at centre and arguably playing even better at fullback.

Get a whip round to get him signed up. 😂🍺🥖🥖
@pascal they might be waiting to announce more signings for kit launch
Yeah and a squad number night to bring in some extra cash. Hoping Kear weaves his magic and gets us in the top 6.👍🥖🥖
I got told by a Wigan fan I work with that Chris Hankerson is about to sign.
@jeffjonno of you mean Chris hankinson..he signed for fev bowt 2 weeks ago
@cumbria-viking Oh right,he said we’d signed an ex Wigan Centre when I mentioned Max Roberts he said no it was Hankinson,Maybe we’d been in conversations with him when he left Toulouse,He would have been a good signing
1 Owens 2 Dixon 3 Evans 4 Flemming 5 Ince 6 Craven 7 Gilmore 8 Farnworth 9 Johnstone 10 Hatton 11Lawton 12 Field 13 Bent 14 Fozzard 15 Amor 16 Walker 17 Lyons. That is the team that I think would be the best blend. I am concerned though if we get more than one injury at the same time to our half backs or centres as cover is sparse. We seem pretty OK in the forwards but would of course like a bit more quality but we are where we are. Forecast 30 points in the league possibly 6th or 7th. If injuries kind to us possibly 5th. Looking forward to the new season!
... "Looking forward to the new season!...."
There's not long to wait now Geoff, it's only 6 weeks to our first pre-season game!!
I would go for: Owens, Dixon, Fleming, Evans, Ince, Craven, Gilmore, Amor, Johnstone, Farnworth, Wilde, Grady, Bent. Subs- Field, Johnson, Lawton, Fozard.
Looking at the team I don’t think it’s too bad. Full of players who have Championship experience.
