Tony, please lighten up. Stick to your opinions and the world will be a nicer place. When people jibe you, just think of riding your pushbike in your FC top

I did that yesterday, wore it to the Leeds home game too, mater and I are going to cycle to the next home game I'm down for, I've also built a new carbon black and white bike

And you'd be straight on radford's back for fielding a weakened team and losing an important cup game. These players are pro sportsmen who are used to playing below 100% fit week in, week out. Go in any club on game day and probably half the team will need pain killing injections to get through.

If we didn't do it we'd probably be relegated

Give it up, you predict what I'm thinking now.

I posed the question in the first instance so clearly I'm open to the possibility that that is something that [imight[/i be an option that works out better for the club and the players themselves from a welfare POV. I then gave my reasons why.
Indeed lee Radford has done exactly the same thing and it was successful, maybe you should have a pop at him for fielding a weakened team when he didn't need too!


Your response is utterly ludicrous and just so typical of your mentality, you can't enter into a debate normally about matters, you keep on going for inflammatory posts trying to illicit conflict again and again proving the points I've stated about you.

Kelly won't be fully fit so I hope we don't play him because the chances of him getting busted up mid game if not for the rest of the season are massively increased, same for any other player that is 50/50, I don't want players playing jabbed up not just risking further injury but not good on player welfare. if we are balancing what happens in the league and to give us every chance then putting faith in some of the junior players if need be (hopefully not too many) but it still gives us chance to pull off a surprise victory a la 2013 in the cup when we outplayed a flying Warrington team and indeed Catalans.

I can't believe how much contradictory Shiite you post. I admire your persistence though and I've rarely seen someone who is so consistently wrong yet persistent with it. Those who have blocked your posts miss some comedy gold. Keep it up

FGS can't we just have one thread without the playground bickering?

Here's my prediction
As soon as the Rovers game is over we all start saying let’s write off the Wire away game and save everyone for a massive season defining victory at Saints
Which is complete sense ! Lol

You might not, but I can pretty much guarantee that every single team has players in this situation weekly. It's part and parcel of the sport unfortunately.

Just because it is, doesn't mean it should be. Read what Phil Clarke has to say as an ex pro.

Players play with numerous concussions, is that right ?

Concussions are completely different to limb niggles, and are dealt within very strict guidelines now.

Club not mentioned anything on the website but coach travel is free for members/pass holders

No ones getting jabbed up for broken legs , necks ! It's part and parcel of the game , would need a fifty man squad if rugby players behaved like footballers.

Let’s have bigger squads and rest players rather than jabbing an injury
The injury is so bad that they can’t play without jab - there’s a massive clue there - massive
Let physio And rest heal and have bigger squad and ban the jabs
Player welfare it’s called !

Wow, I love the fluffy cloud world you live in where there's no salary cap...are you a Wigan fan in disguise?!!

Not if you don`t want Rovers fans harping on about it.

Safe to say we're up against it.

At least it's not live on terrestrial TV. Oh hang on.

How we do beat this Saints team at full strength nevermind with these injuries! They're immense to watch this year. I love Richardson.

Brilliant to watch aren't they? Even giving Barba a breather now.

We're gonna get absolutely bummed.

No way. They only won tonight because of the referee (That's according to Powell by the way).

Pray for rain

Barba, Lomax and Percival getting sent off wouldn't be a bad thing either.

They play with great intensity in both defence and attack and throw their handling and ball movement in and they look like they're playing at a different level to the rest of SL. holbrook has transformed how they play the game

At least we'll get a couple of weekends off anyway

No cup to worry about, star players coming back in fit and fresh at the business end. All geared up for OT.
