By that not as a dig purely as an example, no point using an FC one because we are papp with or without. Simular to Saints Losing both Long and Pryce or Leeds losing both Sinfield and Burrows.
We lost Cooke for a few games early on and managed ok'ish with I'anson, guess if Dobbo was ever out injured Murrell would revert to S.H.
Granted class half backs are needed for a team to be at their best but some teams manage to cover injuries to key players better than others. IMO a fully fit Vella is a key player for HKR and TBH i am surprised we have been as effective without him as we have. Saying that Lovegrove, until his injury, was Rovers form prop.
