14. Cartwright

would be very surprised unless we have some forwards go down in training/trials.

Carty was exclusively training in the seconds rotations/team during training last week

I'd switch Williams and Guymer and think that might be 100% on the money

Where’s Lane?

Unlikely to be fit for round 1 apparently...

Interesting no Cartwright or Lane.
Not saying it's a bad thing, just interesting that 2 mainstays of 2024 didn't make your 17.

Where’s Lane?

He’s struggling in rehab - with reports so many of the other forwards are flying, even if he’s fit round 1 I think he starts in Reggies.

Carty may still get a run off the bench as the utility - he doesn’t strike me as a Ryles style player though.

Both of them won’t be here in 2026. Neither will Paulo.

Lane was barely walking last week, I think he’d be long odds to be fit in 5-6 weeks.

Carty appeared to be playing in the cup team for all the opposed sessions last week.

Maybe Carty will ask for a release.... Maybe someone could hide his bag in Leeds....

Just my opinion, I feel like in regards to lane. We can only carry so many big guys. His efforts off the ball just aren't good enough to be anything more than a prop with limited minutes. Atm I got Paulo, Joe o, matto all ahead of lane for that bigger middle forward roll.

Cartwright, that was a tough one. I just love what I see in kelma and Charlie. Two young guys we can build around.

Yeh I wouldn’t have thought so… they have all served us well and can hopefully still contribute in some way in 2025 but some fresh blood in the forwards is well overdue.
