Quote: Bets'y Bulls "I notice it says Hame Lauaki had to pass a fitness test to play this weekend. with all due respect to Workington if a player considered doubtful to play due to injury passes a test and plays i can't see many changes coming in next few weeks. Can see Samir, Davies & Peterson not getting another game this year'"
Unfortunately I think you're right. If Jimmy doesn't make changes for the next 3 games, then I think we'll know what line up we're going into the middle 8's with.
I didn't mind us not rotating when we were playing well and winning. For me resting someone when we're playing well can have an adverse of effect. Jimmys motto is play well and you'll keep your place. Which I agree with, keeps everyone motivated.
But we haven't played well for a couple of weeks now (which does happen) and we have an extra Easter period coming up. If we go with the same then Davies etc definitely won't play again.
Problem with that is, say come the super 8's, Sidlow gets injured, Clough gets a suspension and Lauaki starts having poor games, who donee turn to? Tahraouri who hasn't played since April, and has been playing at League 1 standard which won't help us agains SL standard teams of Wakey, Widnes etc. Davies who may not have played a game all year.
I trust Jimmy but this is my main concern right now. One nasty injury in next couple of weeks to Sidlow or Clough could end their season and we have props who aren't getting a lot of rugby.
