Re: 2015 team : Tue Nov 04, 2014 12:16 pm  

Think Guzdek will get a chance at some stage but with only 1 Super League game behind him and none at all in 2014 it is inconceivable that he would start as our first choice full back. I really don't think there is any chance of that happening at all especially with several other options available.

I think he has a great chance of making it as a Super League player but it's only potential at this stage, really he has no experience yet of playing against men. Looking good playing against kids at U19 level is light years away from doing the same against hardened pros in the top level of the game. Yes he should get a chance and hopefully he'll get 5 or 6 games in 2015 and prove his worth then maybe he could be considered for a regular spot. Right now he won't even be one of the 25 names Rovers forward as the first team squad, he'll be part of the second tier cap. But that's how everyone starts, you don't get a shirt numbered between 1 and 17 until you've something more than potential to back it up.

This is how I would go so far I think. We look very hooker heavy (despite not signing a first choice one...yet) and the abundance of back rowers makes me think Cox will be used as a prop. I think Welham will start as our left centre.

Salter instead of Welham, surely. He will learn from Goulding.

Re: 2015 team : Sat Dec 06, 2014 12:14 pm  

There's certainly a bit more depth to the squad than the last few seasons. More so than usual though, our season will need a bit of luck with injuries if we are to realise the potential.

Not forgetting Matty Marsh and Sonny Esslement who both forced their way into 19 man squads at the back end of 2014. Plus Steve Holker. Some really exciting young local talent to be mentored and mixed in with the established NRL performers that we have brought into the club.
