It guess it depends how you interperate KEY mate.

Hardly spend half my life on your forum.

How about irreplaceble players, for instance if you were to lose Cooke and Dobson how would your team fare then ? 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.

Dealt with their injuries quite well this year, if you ask me.

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.

whatever, check the number of posts from me on the FC board, compare it to your number on here, then come back to me.

For a rookie prop, I will happily compare Lovegrove's metres/game stats with anyone in the whole comp. Does that make you feel better?

Argh but we are not questioning that.



Feel free.

Who is "we" ?

Sure.

No simply becasue Smith offers far more in attack than Briscoe and Carvell is a liabilty will the amount of penalties and injuries he has

I also said someone like R Horne if you could read properely: a player who can cover any position in the back line - ideally i would put leyon pryce on the bench and start with a different stand off
