Quote: Winslade's Offload "I don't think we have a surprising number of injuries within the squad over and above what we have seen over the last few years. And yet we are struggling to cope, with a lot of forced positional changes.'"


Not really sure what you are referring to here. If it's the game where Currie and Nicholson ended up in the centres, that was because we were unlucky enough to lose both King and Wrench in the same match, so inevitably had to shuffle the team around. In general, I think we have been coping very well with injuries. This is the first year in a long time that we can have six or seven missing and I am still confident in the 17 we put out.

Quote: Uncle Rico "
And yes I get that and quite like the fact that rugby league teams aren't generally built with "church choir boys" (I'm a big Boyd fan) but to rush into something like this a risk for a potential marginal gain doesn't seem like good business.'"


Whilst I agree with your post, sometimes gambles pay off. We are unlikely to progress deep in to the playoffs/win the GF with the current halfback pairing as the next few games will likely underline*.

We also had our two wingers in Ashton and Thewlis injured at the same time.
Sure we can fill the holes with players from the squad and Academy, but I would say our squad is 'thin' and lacks depth. If we are to challenge the dominance of Wigan and Saints next year I would say we need at least two more experienced players in the squad plus a replacement for Nicholson. Just IMO of course.

Quote: Winslade's Offload "1. I am not sure that buying in players was curtailed by Burgess. I suspect that the Board 1) doesn't have the cash to spend as much as they did in the past , and 2) They recognise that bringing through our own Academy talent is a far better route to success anyway.

2. I agree with Rico, we do seem to have engendered a fair bit of team ethic / playing for the badge with the current squad and that needs to be carefully nurtured when we bring in new players. Signing journeymen and players that are being shipped out for various misdemeanours should surely be a last resort ?

3. I don't think we have a surprising number of injuries within the squad over and above what we have seen over the last few years. And yet we are struggling to cope, with a lot of forced positional changes. That's good news for the kids coming through, but makes it difficult to compete at the top table. I personally think Burgess needs to strengthen the squad over the next few months and bring in more experience. At the moment I think the squad is un-balanced with too many 'hopeful' players like Wood, Bruin, Thomas, Okoru etc ( plus the Academy starlets). Some of these will doubtless turn out to be really good signings, but not necessarily in the next 1-2 years.'"


1. The board members are multi-multi millionaires so it cannot be that.
2. Drinkwater is the very definition of journeyman. We are his 8th club. So what is discussed here is swapping like for like.
3. I agree with need some short-mid terms signings if we want a serious tilt at the title.

Yes, Drinkwater is the classic journeyman, and I am no fan. As well as a string of clubs they seem to produce the occasional quality play in a game which just about does enough to justify their existence. I wouldn't class Yates as a journeyman though as his work rate is very high. So there are players around that have experience and could mesh with the work ethic that we currently have within the squad. In the longer term its the Academy that should be providing the bulk of our new players with the gaps from carefully chosen external recruitment ( for me, anyway).

That'll see a slight change in how we play at 13 would imagine.

Might indicate that Fitzy's shoulder injury isn't a short recovery period.

karetaker. Serious question. Why do you read SARL/TotalRL? It's utter garbage and is putting money in the pockets of people like Callum Walker. They mainly steal the content created by actual RL journalists or make rumours up. So you're not only driving traffic to their website but taking it away from people in our sport that actually do the work by speaking to contacts at the clubs, going to press conferences, matches etc..
