Because I thought the post was a perfectly valid question related to the topic of whether or not HH was missed. I simply asked the question to gain a better understanding of your opinion (which you are perfectly entitled to, although I disagree with it) by asking you to clarify a point you made.

Namely this bit:

I was just wondering who you had in mind?

back to the original question, no we havent missed hansen as of yet but at the moment when all fit he would still be in the 17 with out question. With hock and fielden back then i dont know. Think it will be a 50/50 one. I personally would leave him out as i prefer both mossop and farrell and then hock and fielden will come in for hansen and lima. Thats just my opinion though! I actually dont think mcguire will though.

Whatever floats your boat. If you don't understand something just ask. As the OP poster I am always willing to justify my point, no one has to agree with it. But I will discuss it.

PS I only name call when attacked.

They are both fully fledged first-team players in their own right. I'd call neither a squad player. Hansen and Farrell were both in the squad when HH was ruled out. His direct replacement (i.e. the player who came into the 17 the week after to replace him) was Chris Tuson. So I urge you to have a look at his direct replacement: www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2011

Hansen was a starter and Faz on the bench, this naturally is a direct comparison when other factors like mins on the pitch and starts come into play. Tuson only has 6 appearances to his name, his minutes are going to be vastly less. Faz is the direct comparison, and as you can see is performing better. But you are naturally entitled to your opinion.

“Statistics are like a bikini. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.”

I seriously have nothing against Hansen, he's a solid player who works hard. I just have something against the abuse for suggesting he won't be missed.
Lets be honest, we have other players who can do what he can do, thankfully due to the depth we have in our squad.
In comparison if Lockers, Sam or Pat was injured long term we can't directly replace them.

That's the basis of it.

I agree. Our 18 and 30+ point defeats were because of kicking

I like it!

But it was the only way to directly answer the question in this instance.
