Some clubs seem to be persistently plagued by injury year after year, Hull Fc & Cas the two main culprits.

At some point surely questions have to be asked in terms of conditioning etc, or the players they are bringing in, otherwise the same thing will happen year after year.

As a great man once said, if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got.

I see, the issue isn't whether they are in the 1st 17, it's whether you rate them or not. Frankly I suspect you wouldnt give the rest of our squad a glowing reference either.
Just to help me though, of your 10 missing how many are 1st 17? Does the signing of Chaise Longue mean that 1 of the 10 now drops off your list?

Goodwin is a NZ international was a mainstay of the Souths team, and Atkins was one of SL's most prolific attacking centres (and even though he isn't as effective these days would still get in above a lot SL centres).

Is Mamo as good as Percival, Gildart, King, Shenton, Tupou? Of course not. He's an above-average backline player who can cover positions 1-5. I'm not sure what your point is? Do you want me to praise Saints entire squad and claim them to be better man-for-man than any other team? You were better last year but failed to win either trophy, just as we failed to.

so what we've covered from this, that cas should have won 3 Superleagues in a row, but they didn't cos of injuries.

...and that they don't like mentioning it.

Mention what? Have I missed something?

Who The hell is chase longue, a bloody Ikea sofa ??

Not true. I rate your team. You have some exceptional players, Austin, Charnley, Clark , Currie, hill. I think Goodwin is immensely underrated.

Of our players missing the crux are either centres / forwards or pivots. Centre is a huge position in RL especially the defensive element. You can't get down field and boss your opponents without forwards getting on top and you can't create owt without your pivots working well.

Shenton/ Foster / Holmes are defensive work horses. 2 of which play centre.
Moors, Millington, Cook, Jessie SL are forwards who chew up metres and get us rolling down field.
Gale / Rankin are the pivots. I reckon 9 of them could make claims for the first team.

Ellis and Clare wouldn't be first choice but I'd still rather have Ellis than Aston for example and Ellis would be a better goal kicker than our full back who hadn't kicked a professional goal untill last month.

I also do wonder about why us and hull pick up a lot of injuries and if there's something in that.

Well, I may be adding 2 and 2 together here and getting 5, but it sounds to me as though you have got injury problems.

I am surprised there isn't a Daryl Powell injury problem page on social media or facebook even.

How very dare you, Ikea?? The man is surely more classy than that. Although with your rumoured injury list he may prove to be as resilient as furniture from that establishment.

Our injury problems means that Jack Johnson has to play.

Should be an easy win for injury-free Cas, lucky swines.

He looks like a bit of a unit he might turn out to be a flat pack bully
