He won't be on much pal compared to Derek's chosen ones. Which is probably half the problem.
Of all the players we have let go the only ones I was genuinely disappointed to lose were Sarsfield and Haggerty.
Even those 2 I still wouldn't have in our 1st choice 17 if we were anything like full strength.
Players like Wilkes and Goulden are big losses and were fantastic for us but they were mid 30's and starting to wind down.
The rest were solid but on the whole not good enough to genuinely push for SL.
You can't account for 10 players missing before the season had barely started.
Our backline has drastically changed every single week. 5 different half back pairing in 4 games! We are in a mess at the minute. Badly need some stability and consistency in our team. We will never gel if we are just putting out whoever is fit enough to get through 80 minutes each week.
Bad times right now. I bet Sheffield can't believe their luck!
