Providing everyone is fit Bluey will have some very useful selection headahces. And considering we have three decent youngsters out on loan I would say our squad is looking very healthy.

Who are our winger/full back replacements incase of injury?

BJB can be recalled for full back.Kallum Watkins can cover wing and centre.

Probably Donald would cover FB if Webb was to get injured and Wakins for the wing/centre.

Paul Cook.

I was talking to Andy Lynch on New Years Eve and talk about a bloke talking a load of sense (even if he is a bull),he kindly pointed out that we're extremly short in the halves at the moment and that if McGuire and Burrow suffered injuries at the same time that we'd be reasonably stumped for replacements as we haven't a great deal coming through!

I think that could be the case at most clubs.I'm sure Webb and Sinfield could cope in the halfs.Buderus could probably do a job there also.

IIRC Mcshane started as a 7 also.

It wouldn't be ideal but i think there's versatillity within the squad to cover it.

In any club's 25 man 1st team roster there are bound to be positions that can't be fully covered.

As I wrote elsewhere we have to hope that our 6,7,13 axis doesn't suffer long injuries simultaneously.

You cannot cover every eventuality.

As has already been pointed out he wasn't talking sense, he was pretty much talking s[ihi[/it. How many had you had to consider the above as sense?

You ought to have retorted that that Bradford are pretty poor in the halves even if their first choices are fit. As the posters on here talking more sense than Lynch have pointed out EVERY club would have a problem if they lost both of their 1st choice halves. However, no other club have a player of Sinfield's quality that could easily slot in there.



SO, with the greatest respect to Mr Lynch, he should let the brain trust at Bradford, Mcnamara and Lee St Hilaire

, analyse the opposition and he should concentrate on getting his head down, a[irs[/ie up and driving the ball in.

Yep, we have excellent cover in Sinfield if one half back gets injured, if 2 get long term injuries then thats just unlucky and as other people have said any club would struggle. Even Warrington with their team of half backs and hookers would struggle if both Briers and Monaghan got injured at the same time.
