Gardner and Greenwood to miss out.

Really impressed with our squad this year, it has the strength in depth we have lacked during resent years, and thats indicated by the strength of bench.

Hopefully we hit the ground running and put a marker down for 2013, COYS!

Very strong looking side indeed. Potentially stupid question but where's Wheeler? Or should we all just finally abandon all hope on that front for the rest of the season now?

Can't beat having our top 15 available.

That gives us some awesome strike power on the bench too. Put our top tacklers out first to soak up the pressure then TP can go out and wreak havoc.

Are we surprised that Walmsley hasn't made the squad?

Not particularly, I think it makes sense to play a more experienced pack against Huddsfield because they are powerful up front, and a more experienced pack and bench will prove to be more benificial in my opinion.

I wouldn't be surprised if he plays some part in the Widnes game, I am not underestimating them in any way, but their strengths and style of play are more suitable to bring a young prop into the side.
