Quote: Trainman "Strange that isn't it. I always find it odd that as I Wigan fan I look at and analyse the performance of the team I support. As for the first 'reamers' as you put it missing take Hardaker, Minnikin, Shenton, Webster, Eden, McShane, McMeekin & Milner out of the Cas team how would they have done?'"
Obviously it's a difficult question to answer. However, the Cas team was beset by injuries last season, so I understand what you're going through.
What I can say is this. We played Wigan in the Super 8s and won 36-22. Missing from our team that day were:
2. Monaghan; 3. Webster; 4. Shenton (c); 6. Roberts; 8. Lynch; 12. McMeeken; 13. Massey. These are 7 players who would have walked into the team last season if they were fit. We had so many injuries (also including Jy Hitchcox & Paddy Flynn) we had Rocky Hampshire playing on the wing!
