If missing 1 or 2 players has that much of an impact I would be worried

Deacon - captain, organiser and goal-kicker

Morrison - vice-captain and real leader on the park and best forward (with Lynch)

Godwin - interchange hooker

Nero - best back this year

Crookes - backup centre in department we are weak in

plus Lynch playing on one leg, Sol playing on one belly...


OK its not the longest injury list you'll see, but its hit key players for us which is why people are making more reference to the injuries than might otherwise be the case.

If you want to be a good team you have to learn to cope with injuries, just like we do what seems to be every season

As usual Mick, you offer sound reasoning & I agree 100%. Once we get Deacon & Morrison back, we can turn things around.

Its amazing how missing 2 top players can disrupt the team - lets wait until the end of the season before we judge. MY TIP is that we make the Grand Final - just watch cos I am usually right with my my knowledge of the game

No. Nor did I suggest they had. Nor did Mick in the original post from which my post ultimately derived:

Nor did the Adam9641 in his reply to Mick.

I posted it as a reply to Adam to show that we were talking about a bit more than one or two players, and key players at that too.

Come on you can't be serious. Missing a few players can't cause you to play like you are doing!!

We have had a lot more injuries than that (no i am not getting into my dads bigger than yours etc) and we coped fine!

If you want to be succesful then you need to cop with injuries!

Who are you aiming that at?

All I was doing was clarifying who was out, and explaining that it was a number of key players which is maybe why more was being said about it than might otherwise be the case.

I have already made the point on another thread that we can't use the injuries as an excuse given what you lot achieved through your own injury crisis.

Well I have not seen the other thread.

Injuries can be bad but IMO should never be used as an excuse!

You have some good players at bradford, god knows why they are playing like they are.
