The issues run much deeper than not having Kontad Hurrel in the side, he would have made 0 difference tonight

I know that. But what we have at centre now is abysmal ((bar Newman who is always injured)

Hurrell would make zero difference.
He would still be stood with his hands on his knees after chasing shadows, or punching the floor after losing posession.
He doesn't have to do that at Saints.

I have more of an issue with us not replacing Hurrell and existing to cover a centre position with Sutty or Briscoe……
We’ve nearly always had an international player at left centre…..

Agree mate.
I was prepared to give Sutty a chance - but 5 games in and I've changed my mind. He's not up to it.

We do seem to have young promising talent that has regular injury problems - Newman, Walker, Holroyd.
They're super talents, but simply can't stay fit.

Reported Hurrell is going back to the NRL for next year.
Seems pretty inexplicable how he'd get a contract back there but perhaps Wayne Bennett can do something with him that all other coaches to date haven't. Or graft some adhesive onto his hands.

Turning out to be a decent signing for us given the injuries to Grace/Hopoate so far and now the likelihood of Hopoate being full back for the rest of the season with Welsby to 6/7 given Dodd's injury.

I would be a good signing for Saints as you are miles ahead of the rest of the rabble and could cope with my faults as you do with Konnys

Hurrell is a quality player. Think it’s unfair to say he is only looking good because he’s at Saints.

He's a decent player with good attributes, and poor attributes. The poor parts to his game can be more afforded in a good team
