Shall we have a thread for this?
Once your club has officially released the 2020 squad numbers, let's post them in here and also have a guess at what you think will be the strongest / most likely match day 17.

Salford:
1. Evalds
2. Sio
3. Welham
4. Sarginson
5. Inu
6. Lolohea
7. Brown
8. Mossop
9. Lussick
10. Dudson
11. Lannon
12. Greenwood
13. Yates

14. Ikahihifo
15. Pauli
16. Walker
17. Atkin

Chamberlain, McCarthy, Flash, Burke and Johnson will be pushing the starting 17. Connor-Jones, Kear, Williams and Ormondroyd (sp) will be backup for now but could easily push for starts as the squad is quite balanced.

So much depends on form and injuries but assuming Trinity get no more injuries and the majority of players are on form then Trinity can field a very competitive starting 19 imho.

Walker or Jowitt
Lyne or Hampshire
Arundel or Lyne
Tupou or Atkins
Johnstone or Kershaw

Miller
Brough or Hampshire

Westerman
Tanginoa
Ashurst
Fifita
J Wood
Arona

Green
Kopczak
Pitt’s
K Wood

Back up forwards
Batchelor
Tangata
Crowther
King
Gwaze
Kirmond.... all SL experienced.

Choices in the back line even missing BJB and ditto back row.

HB pickings slim and could do with another prop, however two quota spots still free.

I’m happy enough without being giddy.

Warrington

Fairly clear cut I expect

1. Ratchford
2. Lineham
3. King
4. Gelling
5. Charnley
6. Austin.
7. Widdop (Patton for the first few weeks)
8. Hill
9. D Clark
10. Cooper
11. Currie
12. Murdoch-Masilla
13. Hughes

14. Philbin
15. Akaouala
16. J Clark
17. Walker / Mamo / Davis (would depend on opposition I expect).

Still have cap space to add a good prop to the squad by all accounts and we certainly need it. Be interesting to see if Burrell can kick on and challenge for a first team spot but at he minute he's well down the pecking order.

Picking the 17 for Hull is a really tough call. There are a few positions where I really don't know how we will go, and the squad numbers just raise more questions than answers. But I will take a stab.

Squad numbers:

1. Jamie Shaul
2. Bureta Faraimo
3. Carlos Tuimavave
4. Josh Griffin
5. Adam Swift
6. Jake Connor
7. Marc Sneyd
8. Scott Taylor
9. Danny Houghton
10. Chris Satae
11. Josh Jones
12. Manu Ma’u
13. Ligi Sao
14. Albert Kelly
15. Joe Cator
16. Jordan Johnstone
17. Matty Dawson-Jones
19. Masi Matongo
20. Brad Fash
21. Jordan Lane
22. Josh Bowden
23. Andre Savelio
24. Mahe Fonua
25. Connor Wynne
26. Kieran Buchanan
27. Liam Harris
28. Lewis Bienek
29. Gareth Ellis
30. Jack Brown
31. Cameron Scott
33. Ratu Naulago

My potential 17:

Shaul
Naulago
Tuimavave
Fonua
Swift
Connor
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton (Johnstone will start the season)
Satae
Jones
Ma'u
Sao

Kelly
Griffin
Bowden
Savelio

But honestly I could pick 5 or 6 teams and each would be as likely as the last.

Wakefield.

Walker.
Johnstone.
Tupou.
Lyne.
Hampshire.
Miller.
Brough.
Fifita.
Wood J.
Green.
Tanganoa.
Ashhurst.
Westerman.

Kopjak
Tangata
Pitt.
Wood K.

Difficult to find a place for Arona and Atkins.

Complete guess but won't be too disimilar

[uHull Kingston Rovers.[/u

1 – Adam Quinlan
2 – Ben Crooks
3 – Shaun Kenny-Dowall
4 – Kane Linnett
5 – Greg Minikin

7 – Jordan Abdull
30- Jamie Ellis

8 – Robbie Mulhern
9 - Matt Parcell
14 – Mitche Garbutt

11 – Weller Hauraki (C)
12 – Harvey Livett
15 – George Lawler

[uSubs[/u
10 - Mose Masoe
16 – Dan Murray
17 – Kyle Trout
18 – Jez Litten

[uRest of the Squad[/u
13 - Dean Hadley
19 – Will Dagger
20 – Mikey Lewis
21 – Owen Harrison
22 - Nick Rawsthorne
23 – Ethan Ryan
24 Joe Keyes
25 – Matty Gee
26 – Will Maher
27 – Elliot Minchella
28 – Matty Storton
29 - Anesu Mudoti
31 – Ryan Brierley

That squad looks really thin to me but so did Salford last year so I expect to see you at Old Trafford

St Helens

Same as last year pretty much bar the subs bench. Lewis Dodd will get game time against the lesser teams

My guess at how Wigan will line up against Warrington in round 1 (who I think he will pick, not necessarily who I would pick)

FB 6 French
RW 2 Marshall
RC 1 Hardaker
LC 23 Bibby
LW 5 J.Burgess
SO 31 Hastings
SH 7 Leuluai
P 14 Flower
H 9 Powell
P 10 G.Burgess
SR 11 Isa
SR 12 Farrell
LF 13 O'Loughlin

S 8 Clubb
S 15 Greenwood
S 16 Smithies
S 22 Clark

Injured - Gildart, Manfredi

Only just missing out - Hankinson, Bullock, Partington

1 Goulding
2 Mcgilvary
3 Turner
4 Wardle Jake
5 Macintosh
6 Gaskell
7 Sezer
8 Matagi
9 O Brian
10 Gavet
11 Edwards
12 Wardle Joe
13 Lawrence

14 Taai
15 English
16 Murphy
17 Russell/Holmes

This is not counting the long term injured trio of Cudjoe,Uate and Clough.

More than a few people are tipping you for relegation but I don't think that's a bad side.
