Quote: Fylde_Warrior "An experienced prop? Paul Wood? Who exactly is available? Did Morley or Carvell look that good tonight. People always want immediate solutions. What should Greg Burke do in the meantime? What should Jack Hughes in the meantime? twiddle their thumbs? I actually think Preccy not playing strengthened the team tonight. Dudson, Taylor, Flower all played well but most importantly will get better and better. Ageing warhorses get worse and worse until the knackers yard calls.'"
I was concerned when I found out Preccy was missing and did think that was an absentee too far to give Wire a game but like you as the game progressed the thought crossed my mind we were not missing him BUT I do think you underrate him as a player a bit. I am with 21-12 on this about how good he is. Injuries are his problem.
Now Lauaki (met pet hate if you like) wasn't missed at all. He is the one who has most to fear from the younger players.
I don't know who is going to be fit next week but Wane has a devil of job if they all are. The longer you leave players out, especially props IMO, the harder it's going to be to warrant a slot back in the side. Not helped of course by the stupid U19 rules.
