Most (un)blind people saw Maloudis game as poor - unfortunayely there are some clueless fools who never saw his horrendous mistakes

Is that enough ?
If you had asked that question 3 years ago most would have said this would be absolute dreamland. Success brings out a misplaced sense of arrogant entitlement unfortunately. Guess which teams won the title in those years? Yes, the perennial biggest clubs in the comp. We've seen a remarkable turnaround under Radford and are missing some of our biggest hitters including a 2 time Lance Todd winner. No need to have an aneurysm losing to a side scrapping for the top 8 when we have Shaul, Talanoa, Griffin, Sneyd, Bowden, Abdull, Manu out.
I think our squad for next year is good, but we really really miss Watts and it doesn't look like we'll replace him. That's a mistake IMO. Happy with the backs, halves and back row if we keep Westerman.

I think that he had the talent but wasn't given a decent chance and obvs the injury hasn't helped, the way things are I reckon it's too late for him now at Hull to be a XVII player but IF we are to hold on to him I'm not sure loaning him out is for the best. He'll be another that has fallen through the net in the last 4.5 years I'm afraid and points back to what I've been saying all along.
when he first came on the scene he looked really good, went of a bit then got that bad injury, looks to have lost a bit of pace and think his best position is centre, not sure hes fallen through the net as still with us, hes looked ok without being standout,

Sean Long and a plethora of quality internationals started out as cover in and out their clubs first team, got bad injuries, got loaned out and then developed into class in their early to mid twenties. It is NOT a hindrance to progression if you have the talent. Stop banging on about this, it's total nonsense.
The words of fools mean nothing to one who resides in the truth.
but we had 7 first teamers missing tonight and have had others missing for long periods, not a case of going on about it but its the main reason we are struggling, cas have had injuries but cant remember wires missing 6/7 players on a reg basis,

I think he will fall through the net.Would need some big performances from him to get his confidence back but i dont think he will get the chance. Turgut is the same,both youth Internationals that havnt kicked on and more than likely end up as Championship players.
Regarding injuries, we (Cas) and you guys have definitely been the worst hit. Losing 7/8 players from a squad is bad enough but both teams seemed to have pivotal players out all year. We've not played a game I don't think with a first choice spine, no full back all year, no half backs and no top try scorer lol. Then Watts and Moors taking it in turns on the treatment table leaves us with no Plan B. I'm confident if you had Kelly, Sneyd, Connor and Houghton available all year and likewise we had Gale etc, both teams would be Top 3.
