They are right, to a point. We are largely untested. Leeds offered nothing, Huddersfield we’re awkward but if we’re honest they looked like they were still in pre-season mode, and Salford aren’t expected to be challenging towards the top end of the table. And we’ve faced them with the core of the team fit and healthy, with only McGuire, Nicholson and maybe Dudson from the first choice 17. The test will come at some point where we need to be without Williams. That is the puzzle piece we would miss most, then Drinkwater, Dufty, Ashton, Vaughan etc.
But, the indicators are there that we are equipped to cope. Other than the second row/centre sections, we are quite well stocked.
