Quote: Northern Boys "Do you actually believe that a 7 day turn around between fixtures is a disadvantage?
IMO It's hardly a short turn around is it?
Hypothetically speaking here
If Hull FC put out a full side v Catalans and lose,then surely Wolves squad selection is down to TS is it not?
He could choose to rest some of your squad or even the majority of it as a result could he not?
Then your rested players would have had a near 2 week rest prior to Wembley
Surely that would make your club clear favourites for the CC?
The majority of sides that have actually won Grand Finals over the years under the old format have in fact benefited from not having the week off and they have said that playing each week is the better preparation
IF you think that a 7 day turn around is harsh on your club then IMO you are looking for excuses'"
Well, you may be jumping to conclusions here. You are assuming that Karetaker is not a happy bunny, but the reverse could be true. Because Hull have to play first then we get to see what side they put out. if they rest players, then perhaps TS should rest players. If they lose, then perhaps we play full strength and go for the hubcap.
As you rightly point out, a 7 day turnaround is absolutely fine. The disadvantage is with Hull perhaps, not Wire
