Agreed, i think for the most part Hanley and Halsall have covered wing pretty well when given the chance. Hanley second stint in the team not early season i mean.

I can’t help but feel your young forwards are being flogged to death and are likely to burn out. They don’t have the bulk to play against mature forwards week in week out. Clubs owe a duty of care to their players and I’m not sure that is evident here.
On a different note I saw a comparison on here between what happened to Fielden and how Bateman is at present. I certainly hope the blip is temporary (wearing my England hat) and not Fielden like!

Spot on, shame the guy picking the team can't see it

It is sadly true.

We have lost Flower & George Burgess. Clubb has been banned/injured most of the season, Bullock is either not selected or gets 10-20 minutes per game and Clarke never plays.

We are therefore down to one senior player, minimal support from Clubb/Bullock/Clarke and the reliance of Havard, Partington & Byrne in the front row.

Its a joke.

And then when Hanley played there and had a great game he was dropped the following week.

Or refusing to pick Clarke for months on end, he eventually has to at Wakefield then drips him next game

Plays him 3 games or so later hudds at home and was going to drop him next game at Hudds away only to play him last min when Powell pulled out. Plays him for the next 3-4 games and even gets praised by Lam in press, only to not play again since then.

Baffling

PS
As you and I know
Gildart wasn't playing late Saturday/early Sunday (I certainly knew he wasn't supposed to Be playing then). For him to be named was confusing at best, to then make out that he pulled out late and it caused all kinds of confusion is misleading everyone and just embarrassing.
