Quote: Marty Grrrrrrrrrr! "Cant really get my head round how we are playing 4 and 5 games while some teams havent played a game in that time.
Catalans have a full time squad, a reserve team that plays in the French league, a youth set up and can surely drag players in on loan from any French club to cobble 17 players together. Why the hell arent they playing? Weve basically thrown games with kids teams to fulfill fixtures.
Why cant Cas play reserve players, youth players and loan from any of the Championship and League One players that arent playing just to get games played?'"
I don’t know Leeds situation but the reason Wakey have had a more congested last few weeks than most goes way back to pre lock down. At that point we were 3 games in hand on some teams, games that had to be played. Three doesn’t sound a lot but when games are already compressed then it gets really hard.
If it was similar with you plus a cup run that’s why I suppose. The Catalan one is odd but maybe there is an element of French law involved that trumps anything from the RFL?
Just write the season off, I have. You did well to get a CCup but be honest it won’t be one that rides high in your memories in years to come. Ditto the title, Saints will win it but all but the most blinkered of their fans will consider it a fairly hollow victory.
Put it this way, Trinity’s chances of winning anything in a season are very low but if ever there was a season where we did I wouldn’t want it to have been this one.
