| I would add to that and say every team last year appreciated how a big squad will help you through the season
Of course I'd quite happily have a couple of top quality players but the very fact that those players can be injured a la Hull KR you need plenty of above average if not top quality to come in and take over.
We were very lucky with Miller and Finn last year. The odds are stacked against us to go through a season with our best players on the field 100% of the time again.
We now have some cover at half back and certainly through the middle backs.
The numbers will hopefully push quality up as well as they fight for their place.
There is no doubt that you need a quality player or two in your team, but if you reduce your squad too much to get them, you'll come unstuck.
Cas is a good example of using their bigger squad. They however have extended their squad with some internal development as well which is helping them out a lot. We look to be progressing in a similar way, but are not quite at their level yet in numbers.
In my opinion a good squad should be able to handle a season long injury to a FB, 3/4, half back, Prop, hooker and back row, and be confident that the replacement in each case can continue the momentum without the team suffering badly. That is a 23 man squad to just turn a 17 out.
In worse case you lose more than one in the same position so more are needed. And the kids that you but in the squad need to be able to play. They are not there to learn, they should only get a number if you are confident that they could hold their own.
Wood is a key part of all that. I thought he got unnecessary stick first time round, and he has got better since then.

Come on Belly lets at least br grown up and honest.
Sorry but to me you're a Cas fan, you love everything about them yet on here at least you appear to show not an ounce of optimism or support for our own squad.
We have two young player of the year guys in our squad yet all you can do is wet yourself over anything Cas - bizarre IMHO - I honestly think you won't be happy until we finally get relegated then you can stand on the terraces lamenting how it used to be.'"
Don't know about being a Cas fan but since I first joined this site, it wouldn't be a new season without Belly going onto the Cas site to tell them how much better their side was than ours.

Indeed, it's genuinely sad.

That's not the point the sad bit is not whether you are right...
...the sad bit is you so desperately want to be even before a game is played and it's been that way for years including the good ones.

| Indeed. St Helens, Warrington, Brisbane Broncos, Auckland Warriors, New South Wales, Fiji all have a better side than us.......yet you only pick Cas out.
You should ponder that for a second.
