So what do you think of the list? IS it internet worthy

Why are the squads of x6 Grey Hunters fielded in Rhinos, put them in Razorback's instead, but otherwise, good army list, equally worthy of Russ' attention

Because presumably the Wolf Guard and the Rune Priests will be joining those units, making them too large to fit in Razorbacks......

Anyway it looks an almost exact copy of the list that took 3rd at the UKGT, but upgraded to 1,750.

In truth there are not many flaws with it, but there is an illegality. Two of your Rune Priests have the same Wargear. Psychic powers and Wargear are treated differently under the Leaders of the Pack rule, and as such a Rune Priest cannot have the same Wargear OR the same combination of powers as another Rune Priest. You need to add a Meltabomb to one of them, or give one a Bolter or something.

The only issue I have with this style list is that the packs are a little undersized, and I can't help but thinking you would be better off ditching one of the packs in a Razorback for two more Grey Hunters in each of the Rhino packs, then giving your Long Fangs each a Razorback as well. You would lose a scoring unit but gain a vehicle, and your packs would be a bit better off for it.

OK i will do that!

Again i find myself agreeing with Aldarionn on the Space Wolf topic. MSUs are a lot more susceptible to trouble in competitive games than most people want to own up to. I honestly can't stand taking MSUs I may take one or two small units of GH in Razorbacks but I will rarely field 3-4 with out some other major punch in my army that can stick, like WGT (I know everyone hates on Wolf Guard Terminators but I have over 20 of them and I like them so off! ) or TWC. Fleshing out a few larger squads of GH in those Rhino mounted squads could go a long way to making your tournament games easier.

But there is already an 8 man squad total per Rhino [because we included the rune priest and wolf guard] Is that enough guys or not!

You can make the argument either way. I prefer to max the number of guys in the Rhinos. If you are going to take small squads then mount them in Razorbacks and get more firepower (not the route I would take). If you are putting squads in Rhinos make sure their full so the squads can survive longer and achieve more. It really boils down to play style and personal taste.

I don't think its enough personally. The extra two guys are there to absorb wounds that might otherwise make it onto your Rune Priests, Wolf Guard, or Special Weapon/Wargear carriers. I always fill up a Rhino if I'm going to take it at all, which means 8 man packs with attached Rune Priest and Wolf Guard, or 9 man packs with just the Wolf Guard.

But that's just me, and the smaller packs might be better for you in your situation. The decision is yours.
