    Fev and York have  both published their 21 Man Squads.  We find it quite difficult to see the potential shape of the teams in the form in which the clubs publish the squads so we choose to use guesswork based on last week’s teams to set them out in the traditional manner running from fullback to loose forward and then subs. Any loan players are shown in green and any dual reg players in pink.

The time has come when we need to put fingers to keyboard, so here goes!   The Swinton game It was the second shocker in a row. It’s been interesting reading Fev fans comments about it on social media and they seem to divide into two camps.

   Fev and Swinton have now both published their 21 Man Squads. Swinton's includes 3 St Helens players on dual reg and 2 Salford players on loan!

In Swinton's case, we have listed the 17 that played last week and added (at the bottom) their two new loan signings from Salford. Any loan players are shown in green and any dual reg players in pink.
