and they could be nearly as good as Murphy and Gordon

Preferred Dec Patton myself….. Only joking just hope we can keep him fit and healthy because he is becoming the real heartbeat of what this team does.

Speaking of 'fit and healthy', it's interesting to look at the total Super League appearances made by many of Hull KR's key players this season: Peta Hiku 27, Ryan Hall 27, Mikey Lewis 26, Tyrone May 26, Sauaso Sue 26, Kelepi Tanginoa 25, Matt Parcell 25, Jez Litten 25, Dean Hadley 25, Jai Whitbread 25, Elliot Minchella 24, Sam Luckley 23, Niall Evalds 23, James Batchelor 22. I don't know whether you put that down to good luck, good conditioning, or a bit of both, but that consistency of selection has obviously been a big part of their success this year. Hopefully they are all knackered by Friday night!

I'm pretty sure the combo of Field, French and Smith along with the 6 trophies we've won since Williams signed for Warrington have done a decent job in wiping out any 'jealousy'. I understood George's decision to have a fresh start and try something new but the harsh reality is he's won nothing in 3.5 years at Warrington thus far. Maybe that will change in the next couple of weeks - we'll see.
