That's only this week though, going back over the last few weeks only Clough and Moore have been missing from the pack who you would say are almost guaranteed to be in the first 17.
We'd have covered the missing players in the pack at Huddersfield had we been able to put out our first choice half backs fit.
True but because of the halfbacks we have also lost Wilkin from the pack. So it's not just the injured, but the effect of the injured. Like Wilkin to halfback therefore taking him out of the pack.
Roby and Graham basically having to do 80 mins each week because of the loss of Moore and the replacement props.
I know every team has injuries, but ours are like buses at the moment. If it was just 1 or 2 halfbacks, we would not be moving people around. Also those reserve backs lomax and wheeler are our first choice replacements in the backs, so we are having to rush people back as there is no stand in. In Meli's case I'd now argue Wheeler has the chance to be the first choice centre not a replacement back.
But maybe I'm being overly tough on meli.
