We really could do with Rooney back this week at least on the Bench because we are asking a lot of Brad Drew to do back to back 80 mins. After all the guy is 33 and I can't see the conditions been as bad this Friday. The game will probably be at a faster speed, If we have any chance of a sniff we need to have rotating hookers on the pitch.
On the subject of injuries, does anyone know exactly what is wrong with Danny Sculthorpe, I know we were told his wrist but no body said how long or we to just keep guessing?
Rooney's dithering and failure to create anything in attack has caused us more problems than having Drew play for 80 minutes would IMO. I also thought that all three playmakers played very well together on Sunday so would be loathe to see changes made there simply because a so called start player was back available, and we would be taking a big chance that he was actually fit anyway so bringing him in could a bigger gamble than taking the chance on Drew lasting another 80.
Our problems started last season when we unsettled a winning side by bringing back players that were not match ready, I would hope that JK has learned a lesson from that. If we do need another hooker then let's bring a hooker in as a direct replacement rather than bringing another stand off in and re organising the whole team half way through the game to accomodate him.
