Quote: Seth "Yeah bollox to injuries and fitness, wheel em all out there! I don't care about seeing these young kids, I want to see Newman's hamstring snap in half as he slides over for the winning try against Bradford in pre season.'"
You are seriously suggesting that 80% of the squad are not fit enough or injured to play in a game two weeks out of the start of the season. They want play against Hunslet so that leaves Hull KR as the only warm up fixture. Last season the start was a shambles - perhaps they have learned some lessons by restricting the players activity. Given the volume of changes you would think game time together might be a benefit?
