Out of interest, how many clubs don't play injured players? Tony Smith admitted doing so the other night and I tend to regard him, rightly or wrongly, as one of the more progressive coaches around.

I would disagree - the effort has been there - the defence looked better the last two week because Catalans were well below the standards they have set this year and Salford were abysmal. Against better sides that enthusiasm would not be sufficient. It will interesting to see how this new defensive structure pans out on Friday. A win for Wakey and they will be confirmed in the top 8 - a big feather in their cap.

You were just trying to earn some brownie points and have a pop at some people who simply stated the defence showed improvement and accused them of forgiving and forgetting all previous performances even though they clearly said no such thing. |

Depends on how injured. Always a gamble. Some are better gamblers than others. At this stage of our season there is no plausible reason to play injured players. Several weeks ago the risk might have been worth taking. |

Cas brought back Ben Roberts at Magic weekend and a week later he's ruled out for the rest of the season due to the foot injury that originally sidelined him. |

I believe it's what you wrote....because you wrote it. I also believe you've got your nose firmly planted up Wiliam's backside just like his other hanger-on both desperate to impress him.

I hope you're not suggesting the defensive efforts against the likes of Huddersfield (x2), Sts away, Hull KR at home were in any way indicative of a team focused on defence? If so you've got very low standards.

No we didn't, we said one thing and one thing only, that the defence improved vs Salford. |

I'm sure it did. Can you think of any particular reason why it's been a pile of shoite for the rest of the season?

So can I, and none of them have anything to do with injuries.

Who is we? who "are you desperate to impress" did you even go to the game?
The defence effort wasn't any better - the quality of the attacking against it was simply of a lower standard.
Do you believe based on Friday night's effort the likes of Warrington would not have scored 40+? |
