Explain, without murmuring DID WE MISS HIM? DID WE MISS HIM? DID WE MISS HIM? Why you feel he hasn't been missed, and why you feel he won't add anything to the team when he returns. Results mean nothing, we would have won against quins and crusaders if he had played.

Players do offer qualities. But over the select period of time the qualities he offers didn't effect or neglect the team, this is reflected in the results.

Sorry soft lad. Don't have to answer or justify anything further than look at the results. The only stat that matters.

Exactly. He wasn't missed. Someone else who gets it.

Results mean nothing? Oh deary deary me.

ah name calling now.

We won games without pat richards are you saying he wasn't missed?

We beat Huddersfield away with Sam and Joel. They're both useless!

Seems to me like you have some sort of personal vendetta against H. Maybe he's in on something against you with John Stape.

Cracking thread.

Of course we did. We'd not have struggled v Bradford with him in the side for example IMO. Now I can't prove that but that opinion is based on far more than your quite frankly ridiculous reasoning at the top of this thread.

I will be far more confident with Hansen and Fielden in the side going into the business end of season than without them. We have been winning games but hardly setting the world on fire and even v Quins we lost direction in the 2nd half. Hansen (and Fielden) will make that less likely to happen and you will see us win games more comfortably when he is back especially against the better sides.

Anyone who thinks we can dispense with Hansen or have not missed him because we are where are on with wiin/loss front has got their heads in the sand.

I agree with DaveO

The easiest way too look at it is this. Would have Hansen come straight back into the side on Monday.

Answer, yes, and into the starting line up.
