If you carry on like this you may even get a smile from Christopher and MJM. Then again…..

I’ll do my best to bring the odd smile through the gloom of mediocrity on the paddock. Genuinely think next year should be better but top 6 will be very competitive

Good to hear , I think we should still go very gently and mainly play Bentley

If everybody was fit I could see us looking like this

8. Mik
9. Ackers
10. Palasia
11. Gannon
12. McDonnell
13. Smith

14. Holroyd
15. Lisone
16. Jenkins
17. O’Connor

In the gf Wigan had 3 props on the bench. Jenkins can do some second row if required. O’Connor can cover 9 and 13 and McDonnell can shift to centre if we pick up an injury.

That is a lot bigger and more powerful starting pack and bench than we have had for a few years.

We then have sangare and TNW in reserve with Bentley and Littlewood in reserve for back row.

No Bentley?.

Though I'd go that set up too.

Gannon / Mcdonnell/Bentley as first choice with cover from Oxonnor and Jenkins etc should be fine.
Any academy backrowers pushing up?

If Gannons main / only issue has been concussion stuff but he was still able to train then starting early on bulk up would be a great idea

Littlewood is the next second rower expected to come through.
