The main problem I see is that we are well stacked in positions which tend to be less impactful, such as in the backs, but whilst our first choice is strong in the pack, we don't have the depth. This is particularly felt in the middle, with Cuthbertson out. Donaldson has played 3 games in the week so is probably due a rest. The other problem is that some of the middles in the first team are only young themselves, even though they have shown more than capable. I'm guessing that's why the likes of Thompson and Ferres were brought in, to be some experienced grunt to allow the younger lads to be brought in gradually

I hear you but i would think we have as many forwards as any other team.We are i agree a little light in the front row with the loss of Cuthberston but we have a abundance of backrowers.

High chance of a postponement now Cas have had 12 positive tests yesterday.

Interesting whether the fixture goes ahead tomorrow. Tigers got 12 positive cases of COVID according to Gary Carter.

No way will it be played. And rightly so.

Track and trace means the game shouldn't go ahead - right?

End the season now and go into a new play off system

Agreed. 12 positive cases in ridiculous and shows how the game is struggling to keep control. Such a contrast to the NRL

To be fair comparisons with the NRL are futile, Australia has nowhere near the level of Covid infections/cases as we have in the UK, and the NRL has the cash to enforce stricter protocols.

I think this is now a massive catalyst to ending the regular season as soon as possible, have a week or two break then go into a playoff with top 6 or even 8

Agree.

Re: RD 18 | Wakefield Trinity (H) : Wed Oct 28, 2020 11:21 am  

I would agree regarding a break and cutting off the season. Have a 2 week break for the top 8 allowing squads to isolate they knock-out play off which will be maximum of 7 games with chances of squads being full strength. On the subject of Lui I have to agree with gotcha in that I think he is stealing a living. He had one good game against Wigan other than that he runs 5-10 yards at 3/4 pace.Has not made a break all season and looks knackered ever time he carries the ball into contact or makes a couple of tackles. He does have a good pass and has looked better in games when leeds completely on top however no impact against good teams who will slide their defence and allow him the space inside as he won't have the pace to go through a potential gap.
I would rather give Myler who I agree is not a natural half a go to allow us to bring walker in at full back or alternatively give McClelland a hit at 6. The key is gale he is the organiser and I think there is benefit in a running option at 6. Lui basically just hands the ball on.

Club have confirmed so many times that we have two squads so I doubt we will be cancelled, we will just pull players into the squad and pull the self isolation ones out.
