Also we need to stop referring to Fully fit squad

That’s naive

That’s a very naive thing to say. Agreed it’s been done to death but the season would have panned out completely different, if, we’d kept the first 24 or 25 on the pitch every week. The squad isn’t that bad but that fact doesn’t fit some posters agenda.

All twelve clubs could say the same thing.

unfortunately injuries now play a massive part on any teams season.

I'd say about half the teams this year had really bad injuries which really affectef their season at difference points, Saints, Wigan and wanted had a pretty good season injury wise and look where they finished. Vas dud really well this year with the injuries they had.

Next season we could finish anywhere from 4th to 8th based on our current squad, unfortunately I think it will be closer to 8th, unless we have another 2016 on the injury front.

It does seem to be the luck of the draw injuries wise for most teams we suffered badly with injuries but I still think we’d have been bottom 4 what might help you next year is that a couple of the top teams are in transition so SL next year is wide open

Sorry to disagree but I do believe FC’s squad is better than average. There’s no way Wakey would have thrashed them if we’d been able to choose from the first 25. If you can’t understand my post????

Unfortunately that was the point if my post. FC’s squad was as good as most but the depth of injuries hurt us. You’re squad depth was always going to tell if you lost 3 or 4.

We actually had a lot of squad depth as I said at the beginning of the season where clubs have a good first 17 and then squad fillers we seemed to have two average 17s which just got us by in the end and the quality we did have spent more time on the sidelines

Like most have said , I’m not happy with the signings if there the ones Pearson was saying will be first team . But maybe we’re trying to shift players on first which is proving difficult. Ideally we need at least 2 new teamers just to freshen things up . A quality winger and a good prop or a back rower with pace and size . Might take a while first though getting players out .

Are you still confident Jones has signed?
