Quote: Sir Gregory Parsloe "I’ve lost count of how many yellow cards and suspensions we’ve had this year.
It’s critical we don’t get any v Saints. In particular Bentley needs to just take whatever stick he gets.
Not just to help keep the score down.
We need as many available, particularly forwards for the vital 4 games in 2 weeks in late April v hudds, Cas, Toulouse and HKR, where we need some wins.
In our weird fixture list, we then have only 2 games in May with only a 5 day gap between Salford and Wakey. This month could give a new coach chance to try and improve us a bit.
But we could be staring down the barrel by then.
From June We then have 6 in a row not at home. Wire, hudds, saints, hull, Toulouse away and Cas at magic. This is a tough run for any new coach.
We urgently need some upturn post Saints.'"
That’s why I would rest most of our very brittle and flogged pack v Saints. We are not getting anything but a hiding from this one, but can regroup with a week off and come again….
Games after Saints far more important
