Gale said he will be back no later than round 4, so that could be anything from rd 1 to 4 we see him play.

just going off tonight's interview with Crowther who will have a better idea, Of course Gale will try and push 2/3 weeks earlier.

With him being in the England squad I'd just assumed he'd be a couple of weeks behind in preseason and therefore miss the first game or so

Maher won't get anyway near the team anyway.

Absolutely no chance we will push for earlier given what happened this year trying to rush players back.

that's why i said at least a month. Gale will be aiming for earlier but the medical team will be on top of it.

i'd go with that apart from id swap Roberts and Ellis round. I think this could be the best we could hope for if any of the rumours are remotely close to being true.

Then we would have these + any under 19's that get promoted

Massey
Ellis
Cook
Holmes
Gale
Turner
Clare

I'd have Ellis purely for his kicking aspect, both out of hand and at goal.

Ikahihifo is an impact player so will come off the bench if the deal happens. We need moors running out wide! He was playing big minutes at the end if this season so id start with him in the back row. Use either cook or clarke as starting prop with watts. Id actually use millington as 13

Cook
Foster (if not in centre)

Then a good selection of good back up players.

The ballance would probably look better with milner at 13 and millington on bench but i want to see grant play as much as possible in the old style 13 role.

Add ikahihifo to that squad on the bench and it looks stronger already. Not really watched jordan Turner at centre so dont know much about him. The above squad is assuming neither sign. Wardle just becomes a back up player unless his attitude (alledged) and fitness improve if he stays!

Where's the turner rumour from? He's a centre by trade, but seems to be spelled in the halves or even loose forward at times. To me suggesting, coaches don't know his best position.

Its getting harder and harder to pick a team which is a good, for last few seasons most fans could predict our starting 17 from what was available.
