Quote: asmadasa "McGillvary and Thorniley both came to the club with recent injury prone records and were a bit of a gamble despite their impressive careers which already at the start of the season being injured isn’t paying off.
How many more weeks is Thorniley out? Powell just mentioned Hood and ‘a couple of other injury issues’.
Hope there’s some more work going on in the background trying to bring more players in with what Powell referred to as a ‘skinny’ squad.
Surprised Bain wasn’t on the bench v Featherstone hopefully he’s fit to play v Bradford.'"
This is surely what the duel reg is for?
Players like Douglas, Eckersley, Rocky, Farrimond are all Super League standard backs who are unlikely to get regular game time with the exception of injury or squad rotation as Wigan did on Saturday v London.
It’s only right we give our signed players first crack but if they do not deliver to the expected standards or the squad becomes too stretched then we need to start using that arrangement.
