Quote ="Wellsy13"Do we? Who make up this decent cover?
The only players I can see who have played half back are:
Washbrook (a loose forward, who we've seen play SO plenty of times and know he isn't good enough in that position, and will also be used as a rotational hooker, so if we move him then we change the balance of the squad),
Turner (who has only started 6 games at stand off in his entire career),
Whiting (who has only started 5 games at stand off in his entire career, and is our starting centre, so it will change the balance of the squad),
Tansey (who has only started 4 games at SO and 1 at SH in his entire career. The ONLY person in the squad outside of Long and Horne to have any experience at SH (1 game!) and is our starting FB, meaning we'd have to move Whiting, and someone else into centre, ruining the balance of the squad).
Decent cover? I know we all like to look at the positives, but decent cover is just lying to yourself. We don't realise how lucky we've been to have at least someone that can play all over the park in Berrigan over the last few years. If there was ever a year we needed to be injury free, this is it.'"
westerman is a very good half when needed !!! and all part of the plan!!
and again it seems everyone has forgotten that long is not NOT injured at present so why the hysteria from so many is beyond me
