4 games in 16 days : Tue Jun 11, 2024 5:00 pm  

Tough schedule coming up late July/August. 4 games in 16 days from 26th July to 10th August. Will it derail our title challenge?

Possibly- I'm not sure why we couldnt use the international weekend for the rearranged Leigh fixture.

There is every chance but on the other hand, now is a great time for a breather for some of our lads and we could see some game time for Eckersley, Douglas, Hill, Chan, Walters and Farrimond and maybe Eseh if he is back at Wigan. It's how we roll.

We've got the squad to rotate, I doubt there'll be many players doing all 4 games.

Thats got me scratching my head too. Will it really hurt England's chances so much not to have Wigan players in a friendly against France?

Hopefully, although it won't happen, the Wigan lads get pulled from the internationals.

There has to be one goal for them and that's going back to back. That's bigger than any win Vs France.

This period will determine the LLS. The saints game after this run will be very tough.

Use the squad wisely.

Im sure Peet will see this period as a challenge.

The squad is strong enough to cope not worried in the slightest

Re: 4 games in 16 days : Tue Jun 11, 2024 10:56 pm  

We target things like this and Im more than confident we have the squad to cope

Re: 4 games in 16 days : Tue Jun 11, 2024 11:06 pm  

We have the squad for sure but there's a limit to the amount of disruption we can keep throwing at the team and still expect it to fire on all cylinders. I can quite easily see defeats during this run that otherwise wouldn't happen. In addition, fatigue causes injury so there's potential for disruption after this run too.

I think it essential we get these next 2 games right with regards to rotation so players don't go into that run already fatigued.

With regards to the England game; I agree it would have been an ideal time to fit in the rearranged game but I'm pretty sure Matt Peet wouldn't want to prevent players representing their country. I think Saints under Woolf wouldn't have hesitated but it just doesn't seem Peet's way.
