The Avenger:

A lot been said about our depth this year and it?s true we?ve been able to cover all the injuries with some quality replacements, all that is apart from the half back crisis where we?ve not only lost the first choice but the second and third.


It?s also been brought up about the number of players we actually have missing from the starting 13. It?s probably not a true reflection to say it?s in double figures, more like 5 or 6. But even that?s up for debate because who, apart from Powell & Shenton, can actually say what our starting 13 is?


So I?ll have a guess:



1st choice/Back Up
FB. Jowitt/Rourke
RW. Russell/Walmsley
RC. Scott/Hall
LC. Pratt/Croft
LW. Johnstone/Touchambe
SO. Trueman/Russell
SH. Lino/Stephenson
P. McMeeken/Atoni
H. Hood/Doyle/Smith
P. Uele/Rodwell/Fa?atili
RSR. Storton/Griffin
LSR. Nikotomo/Vangana
LF. Pitts/Cozza


If we had to field that second choice team, whilst obviously a bit weaker, I?d still be pretty positive which is testimony to our strong recruitment over the last 18 months

I was surprised when Wakefield actually signed Trueman,and especially on marquee money too?This kid hasn't played that many minutes each season for god knows how long now?
Matt Ellis is going to have to sell plenty more kitchens just to cover sicknote Truey's salary and his sick note.


Trueman is a fantastic player without a doubt,But his game time each season is a huge problem,and that is currently Wakefields issue now

PopTart:

Maybe you are both right but the intention was to get a quality player in and there were limited options.
We clearly thought we could handle his fitness better
The injury itself isn't the same as he's had before so hard to predict.


Hopefully he'll come back now and show us why Powell wanted him.
