Quote: NickyKiss "If you look at us last year, we had Field, French and Leuluai all out at the same time. We lost Clubb to suspension long term and whilst he was dreadful, he still would’ve been a first 17 player. We lost Hardaker to a bad neck injury as well and George Burgess retired on the eve of the season (they probably all didn’t overlap but we had times with more than 6 out and for weeks on end).
So that’s 6 players, all of which would’ve been in our 17. Take Welsby, Makinson, Percival, Lomax, Walmsley and Lees out the squad at the same time and see how they go week to week. They’ve never had to do that and I give them plenty of credit for that because clearly their conditioning is high class but it doesn’t make the question any less interesting.'"
It's the possible other disruptions that come too like moving a SR to centre all season or wings to fullback etc. Granted it doesn't look like Woolf uses the same bingo machine Lam used to so that may not be an issue for them.
I've never bought into their depth and again today proves it and like I say when they come fishing on here, it's easy to drip feed a kid into a winning side with first teamers all round him.
