Re: Breaking News... : Wed Oct 12, 2016 7:28 pm  
Sorry I don't think I explained myself very well. I'm not blaming our "failures" on not having injuries. I don't consider a season where we won the Challenge Cup a "failure". Sorry if it read that way as it wasn't my intention.

And I agree that you don't need injuries to rotate. But I do think that we didn't rotate as much as we could have because our strongest 17 was available most weeks. Again something I said was understandable. And I think that lack of rotation played it's part in the players fitness levels by the end of the season but also meant that younger players didn't get the game time that they would have potentially got in previous years.

By saying that I hope fortune favours us I was trying to say I hope we have an injury free season again but, as bonaire said, that we learn to rotate better.

Cant blame Radford for going with his strongest 17 most weeks but i think he will re think this for next season as another lesson learnt as will his interchanges.


That was a lesson learned in the Championship by Leigh, 'bonaire'.

In 2015, Rowley went with his 'strongest' 17, week in, week out, and we finished top of the League. Come, the Qualifiers we had about eight of those players requiring ops. Some played on, and some were replaced, in key positions, by squad members who had hardly played. I must stress that we were by no means the only team in the Qualifiers, that was struggling with injuries, but the other seven teams handled the situation much better. Rowley was totally focused on 'topping the table', rather than rotating his sizeable squad.

This season, Neil Jukes has rotated his squad - either through injuries or suspension, or by choice - and, come the Qualifiers we had a fresher team on the pitch.

Rotation, if you can, is the way to go, especially if the prize comes, not at the end of the regular fixtures, but in the 'play-offs'.

Well done on an excellent season though! :thumb:

I think the only reason our season fell off a cliff was wembley. Nothing to do with fatigue or overplaying players IMO. Our worst performer post wembley was sneyd which had nothing to do with fatigue but effectively ended our season

Deffo a Wembley mega hangover. I think you're a little unfair on Sneyd, he benefitted from the indomitable pack, post Wembley, that was our biggest headache, not dominating the opposition.

Just on Naughton, he could be on his way out. Gone to Oz instead of staying for the player of the year awards. Even people like Pritchard and Manu have stayed and don't fly home until the end of the week

It's rumoured on twitter that Carlos isn't there but is still in Hull.

Doesnt surprise me if Naughton is on his way out.Expect several other fringe players to depart also.
Now the club awards are over the club will start to make announcements.
One or two shocks i think

Naughton has gone to Oz to see his mother. Something he did last year. Nothing new in it.

Maybe he will leave but think people are reading too much into his trip to Oz.
