Strong St Helens contingent there.

All outstanding players as well mate particularly the standoff Gary Wheeler, he seems to be a little injury prone but if he can get over that he could be anything.

My starting line up would be

1. Richard Owen - already played first team at Cas
2. Sean Ainscough - small but super quick
3. Jamie Foster - does all the little things right
4. Jason Walton - Leeds junior now at Salford, can also play backrow
5. Mike Lawrence - promoted to first team squad for 2008.
6. Gary Wheeler
7. Richard Myler - Very skilful half from Widnes
13. Joe Westerman - Cas, needs no introduction for anyone who has been watching NL1
12. Liam Farrell - yep he's related, quality player.
11. Sean McGennis - powerhouse from St Helens
10. Gaz Frodsham - another from Saints
9. Paul McShane - a Kieron Cunningham clone.
8. Adam Neale - workhorse from Warrington

res:
Jason Crookes - Bradford
Andrew Dixon - Saints
Chris Gerrard - Wigan
Tom Briscoe - HFC
