amour

thoughts people
Fleming. Millar/Ince. Evans. Edge. Dixon. Craven/Lyons. Gilmore. Farnworth. Fozard. Amor. Grady. Wilde. Lawton.
Johnstone. Walker. Hatton. Lyons/Craven.
For York based on pre season:
Owens, Ince, Fleming, Edge, Dixon, Lyons, Gilmore, Farnworth, Fozard, Amor, Grady, Davies, Bent.
Johnstone, Lawton, Hatton, Walker.
For me it would be:
OWENS
MILLER
FLEMING
EDGE
DIXON
(CRAVEN) LYONS
GILMORE
FARNWORTH
FOZARD
AMOR
GRADY
LAWTON
BENT
subs (any 4 from 7 dependent upon the opposition/fixture for the subs config. - bit of a kop out, I know, but not always naming a back on the bench may be prudent in this League!)
JOHNSTONE
WALKER
DAVIES
BROWN/FIELD/(LYONS)
WILDE/HATTON
TILLEKE/EVANS/ROBERTS/BROOKES/HOLROYD
subs selection shows how much better the squad is this season
I think the teams named above are pretty accurate the only real unknowns are starting wingers really
i do agree that the squad is better than last season regarding depth but other squad’s have been improved also so I just hope the players who have come in have a great season ahead and justify where the extra money has been spent, Gilmore, walker, Johnstone, Amor especially
Post St.Helens keary said farnworth is unsure because he came of with a shoulder knock
both evans and Robert are 50/50 both rehabbing knocks as well
Forgot about Joe edge ! Yes evans/ edge in the centre and Millar for Roberts if unfit, if farnworth out then field/Hatton or even tilleke

Well that is my 17 but the ones left out are also good players, and definitely get a chance with injuries occurring, or for squad rotation. 🥖🥖🥖👍
If our squad depth is so good especially in the backs I don't see how Owens is in the squad.

if you listen to JKs comments after the Saints game he is very complimentary regarding Jack Owens. Defo going to be his starting FB👍👍

Walker
Field
Johnstone

Edge has been quality in pre season, deserves a centre spot, Flemming is also quality at this level. Ince shaded it over Miller vs Saints so I have gone for him on the wing along with Dixon. Grady and Lawton in the back row gives us size. Farnworth and Amor pick themselves with Field and Walker my pick for the 2 bench props.
Liam Bent then any other 16
Kear says that Craven is 'touch and go' for York this Sunday which more or less confirms he won't be playing.
