Whatmough was injured for most of that season so not sure he counts really as part of the 2017 champions team, so I'd happily have Raggett in his place in a back three.
But Cook never really played with three at the back so in a 4231 I'd go for
Bazanu
Romeo Burgess Clarke Stevens
Morrell Doyle
Lowe Roberts Curtis
Chaplin
So only 4 of the current team, and there's a strong case for Naismith ahead of Curtis.
What's striking is that neither team has a good tradiitonal centre forward. In Cook's team only two midfield players got into double figures. Michael Smith was the closest in 2017 but he didn't play, or score, much that season.
