Get a grip, the above cannot be put down to training techniques and it's a collision sport in which players get hurt. We play the game tough and I wouldn't want it any other way. We are champions and world champions because of Wane, not in spite of him.
The last few weeks we've been poor but the young lads need a rest and will get one soon. Judge the team and Wane at the end of the season. I'd say the top 4 might be gone but we could still win the challenge cup and in the circumstances that wouldn't be the end of the world.'"
It seems SW has admitted that he should have seen the signs that something wasn't right with Clubb:

| To get rid of both Mossop and Crosby created a problem that wasnt going to be filled by Bretherton or Naverrette or Sutton,at the moment at least,Clubb was injured at the time with his neck it was madness to release those two with proper cover for the prop position.

Agree a little as Crosby (when he could be d) was better than Navarette or Bretherton (i see nothing in this lad yet personally, he is to top heavy, though its very early to rule him out)
Completely disagree on Sooty though. He is a superb talent and as aggressive as anyone in the squad. 10 times the player Mossop (became) or Crosby ever will be.

| Sutton is having a fine season imo. He fell below his high standards on Thursday but in the main he's been head and shoulders our best prop. He makes a few too many errors for my liking but they're not lazy errors like FPN and mainly come from over eagerness.
Talking of Crosby, I wonder if Wire would be prepared to release him? I'd take him back here in a shot to go alongside Sutton, Clubb and Tautai. I'd also consider a punt on Bousquet from Catalans who is ooc.

Crosby hasn't been dropped on form, just personal circumstances. Will be interested to see how he goes next season hopefully under a new coach.
Hughes has been terrible this year after being outstanding last year. But he's a favourite of Smith and seems undroppable. You can have Hughes now we have Currie back if you like.

Yeah I know the circumstances behind Crosbys absence but I just wonder if Wire want a rebuild and need cap space if they would be open to letting him leave (probably not as like you po Not out you'd guess they'd like to have a look at him first).
As for Hughes I remember stating last year when he was playing well that I was happy to see him kick on but ultimately he has too many flaws in his game to ever really make us regret letting him go. I didn't last season and clearly we don't now.
