I am reading on facebook that we havent had the same halfback pairing, we have injuries, we have had to play the youngsters, Ferres incident, Robbo's retirement, didnt replace Koppy or Hughes, stripped Broughy of captaincy, blah blah blah, need I go on?
We have stumbled season after season in the games that matter, this season we have been found out, no-one fears us and we really are in the doo doo, need something to freshen and fire the whole team up'"

.....................but less of a double gamble than dropping a loan signing who`s played full back to replace him with an established halfback as Ive claimed before

Its using players as "play anywhere commodities" and taking risks "it`ll come off"

Frankly dont see our league position allowing that comfort zone
You can take risks and experiment when youre at or nearer the top --not where we find ourserlves ! Then you CAN try players in different positions AND blood youngsters into a settled established and successful team

But those in charge ewill doas they see fit and I`ll buy a season ticket ---and grit my teeth and bear it ---and others on here will try convince me otherwise
Thats democracy folks!! - and at the moment --a LONG HARD SEASON!!

One thing however does raise questions

Why so many injuries when the seasons just started and no competitive games - what happens mid season when we play the real matches? pessimist or doom merchant --I find it worrying!

We are not the only team with injuries, plenty of other, plenty out for season too. Think the tickle situation just illustrates, as Anderson said when Ferres left, there just isn't the players available at the moment. We are looking at what's available. We have cap space, brierley did command a transfer fee I'm sure but not everything we had and his wages won't be massive at the moment. We got money for Ferres, a lot more than we paid for brierley. So we have available funds but there just isn't the calibre of player we'd like. So if tickle has the fitness, he certainly has the ability and experience for the short term but fitness is the question.

then we are changing full back again!

we will have to grin and bear it with wood to partner brough till ellis is back.

hmmm -He needed to be close to the ref so he could give him his instructions!!
