1. McDonnell/Quinlan (Hopefully we resign one or the other)

Didn't McDonnell sign for next season already? I'm sure he joined on an deal to take him to the end of the 2016 season.

I was under the impression he was signed up to the end of 2015? I could well be wrong on that one!

I stand corrected! My apologies Saddened!!! McDonnell did well for us last season and I perfectly happy with him being our first choice Full Back for next year. Looks a good squad on the whole, a lot of strength in depth and hopefully we can maybe add a player to it if the salary cap allows us too. With that squad, barring any major injuries (unlike the last 3 or 4 years) we should be aiming for top spot next year

There's still a little bit of movement to be done, judging by the rumours thread. I am, for the sake of assumption assuming we have another centre to come in (because that's what I want).

What I'd go with (but is somewhat unlikely):

1. Lomax
2. Makinson
3. Percival
4. TBA
5. Swift
6. Fages
7. Walsh
8. Walmsley
9. Roby
10. Amor
11. LMS
12. Vea
13. Wilkin

14. Turner
15. Greenwood
16. Savelio
17. Tasi

18. SMD
19. Richards
20. Thompson
21. Burns
22. Peyroux
23. Dawson
24. Haggerty
25. Charnock

No Burns? I have heard recently he is about to be released from his contract? Only a rumour like but maybe there is some truth in it?

Haggerty is rumoured to have failed to make the grade as well.

Aiming for top spot and achieving it are different things. I'm sure we were aiming for top this year, but scraped into 4th. If we assume Leeds will be weaker, Wigan slightly better, Huddersfield around the same and Warrington potentially considerably better, top 4 is going to be very tight. Top spot would be an absolutely incredible outcome for that squad. I'd be happy with 4th personally and I think we'll have a fight on our hands to achieve that.
