Exactly. McDermott said before the announcement of the 19 that with everybody back now, somebody will miss out each week.

For me though, I don't think BJB has done enough to warrant cementing a place anyway. And he was torn apat away at St Helens.

Really. Including Sinfield ? Webb ? McGuire ?

Which squad members have cemented a spot ? And what is the criteria for cementing a spot ?

If Sinfield/Webb/Burrow played crap one week, do they still cement their spot for the following week ? Seems a little inconsistent/unfair if some squad members get preferential treatment over others IMO.

I'm not dissagreeing with you on that one. I'm just reading into what McDermott said, and how he works. He said one would drop out each week to rotate, whilst we had a full healthy squad. With how he works, that in the main would probably means players with spots not cemented.

Case in point, with or without a full squad available, Sinfield should have been rested for the Leigh game. He wasn't, and that is because McDermott dare not play a game without Sinfield. I mean, I accept we are a one man team where he is concerned, but against Leigh we could have managed even without him.

i think the extended turnaround is why sinfield still played even though i agree he should have been rested

Kirke, Moore, mcshane and hauraki all playing for 20s tonight before first team

I think it showed in the games this season against the likes of Bradford, Huddersfield, Saints when neither Burrow nor McGuire played that we are far from being a one man team.

I think you will find David, that had Sinfield not played in those games you mention, that the result would have been much worse. We are very much a one man team in that regards.

I doubt if you took Sinfield out and put McGuire and Burrow back in the result against Saints could have been any worse. Against Bradford the attack was so abject there is no way if Burrow & Mcguire had played instead of Sinfield that it could have been as impotent as it was that night.

I remember having a similar discussion with G1 back in 2006 when to quote his words "Sinfield must be tired of picking up winning pay" when we lost a couple of games when he was out and thenwe won a couple when he came back - that was until McGuire got injured and then what happened - Gareth will no doubt recount his afternoon at Odsal against Huddersfield

This is far from a one man team - without the options that McGuire, Burrow and Webb provide the attack is one dimensional and lacks any kind of cutting edge.

That puts an end to speculation then
