True - Morley - Puletua- McPherson , you wouldn't expect a full season injury free, Morley & Puletua to age , McPherson must have broken a mirror with the luck he's had with injuries.
Griffin-I don't know , being moved so soon after a 3 yr deal ? and keep McGoldrick for his 2nd year ??'"
I don't think I'd class Puletua as injury prone (on a rough calculation, I think he's made more appearances this season than Morley and McPherson put together). Nevertheless, as you say, age is a factor. I already find it pretty incomprehensible that we've just signed one injury prone prop. It would be reckless - to say the least - to have signed another.
Releasing Griffin would be a strange one, so I'm hoping either that it's not true or that we've signed someone impressive to replace him (all the Burgess brothers and James Graham would be nice). Some people have pointed out that Griffin has become less effective since he signed a 3 year deal, but he's still one of our most effective forwards. Jewitt also. We seem to lose a lot of 'go forward' when these two are spelled.
McGoldrick I'm less concerned about. He seems to be able to do a reasonable job in a number of positions, and that utility value means, for me at least, that it wouldn't be a disaster if he stayed.

Which one though? I think we've been linked with Steve the second-row rather than Sam the prop.
