I'm pretty sure I read on Twitter that every other club is already back in pre-season bar Saints and Leeds, whose season only finished two weeks ago.

All the new youngsters and new signings start tomorrow (9th). The rest come in a week later on the 16th.

Very difficult to pick a side at the moment with so many possibilities up in the air. I expect one or more of the youngsters who emerged in the pack last season to really kick on - which could cause some welcome selection headaches. No idea where Fages is likely to play. No idea whether either of our fullbacks will recover sufficiently. So aside from the definites (Roby, Walmsley, Walsh, Percival etc.) I'm really in the dark insofar as the starting 17.

Would be nice if we didn't pick up any season-ending injuries early this season, tho.

If all declared fit for the first game.

What I want -
Lomax, Swift, Percival, Turner, Makinson
Fages, Walsh
Walmsley, ROby, Amor
Greenwood, Vea
Wilkin

Tasi, Savelio, LMS/Thompson, Burns
(I'd actually consider dropping Walsh for Wilkin and cementing THompsn in the 17, but hopefully he'll start the season back to somewhere near his old self)

What I think KC will go with
Owens
Swift, Percival, Peuroux, Makinson
Fages, Walsh
Walmsley, ROby, Amor
Wilkin, LMS
Turner

Vea, Tasi, Greenwood, Richards

Owens is a shoe in for obvious reasons and there's no way that KC would leave Savelio out of a bench spot.

Re: starting 17 : Wed Nov 11, 2015 1:11 pm  

What's going to happen with Burns?

And Walsh if he doesn't improve? Could we end up with SMD, Lomax, Burns and Walsh all outside the 17? Enough cap spend there to sign a proper player.

Lomax and SMD being injured for the start of the season?
