- Worldie = self explanatory I guess, tier 1 international quality player, or there abouts
- Prem Start = not necessarily international, but you'd be happy starting in a Prem final. Split into A and B as we have a few options here e.g. AJ vs RDP, Harrison vs Oosthuizen.
- Squad player = can do the job and does it well, but you wouldn't want a team full of them. Phillips is the example par excellence.
- Academy 1 and 2 in order of who is further in their development.
Please note Webber and Wilson left out due to this being a reflection of next year's squad:
Interested to hear what people think, welcome all criticism!
Points of contention/discussion -
- Solomona, Yarde, McGuigan worldies or Prem starts? - on paper they're one thing but maybe some will think otherwise.
- I've also put Redpath at 15 as that's where I think he is best and should aim for, we have Rohan and L. James at 12, and Redpath isn't a 13 IMO, so 15 is the place.
- After his performances this year I would consider Postlethwaite a squad player, doesn't look out of place at all to me.
- Is WGJ a worldie? Maybe not yet, maybe soon.
- Ben Curry probably is a worldie.
For me, I think we look light at outside centre and lock. 8 might appear light but really we know JLDP and Ross (and T Curry! ) can play there
Whilst hooker looks light I would hope Langdon and Neild move into prem start A and B next year.
I might have got some academy props the wrong way round.
I found this comment pretty interesting and it made me think about next years squad. I made a table of what I think we've got. I made columns for "Worldie", "Prem Start", "Squad Player", "Academy 1" and "Academy 2"
