You can make a case for them certainly. However, I do think that for long-term absentees there can be a tendency for 'the less they play, the better they seem', especially in a struggling team.
It's the same with youngsters - they're often potential worldbeaters until they start getting game time. I can't help but feel that Litten's stock is on the rise versus former great hopes like Fash, Turgut, Logan et al., in part because they're being hit by SL players and Litten isn't. For example.

Lawler is far better than Greenwood and Kavanagh. Does more, more consistent.

Another day another PhD on the shark's injury crisis in the local paper. Get over it. You have had two good seasons and won cups because your 1,6,7 and 9 didn't miss a game with an injury for those two seasons. Typical of your terrible sense of entitlement that when it goes wrong half your lot blow their dummies into orbit. Best thing I thought Radford did was address this but looks like it's not gone away.
We have our first choice 2,3,4,5,6,8,9,11,12,13, and 16 not available today 4 making their debut. Only Quinlan, Atkins, Blair and Mulhern would be in our starting 17 for sure. Maybe Jewitt, Scruton, on the bench. Yeaman was better prepared than all of ours when he played in the last derby. At least he knew the plays and defensive set up. It was worth him playing just to see him try and pass it again. That pass for the winger who had a walk in was priceless.
I miss the days when Newton made a mug of him each derby.
Derby just what you need after that wretched humiliation at Wakefield.
Your forwards will bully our ineffective back row. Sharks by 20-30.
I know you must find 7 consecutive Derby losses emasculating, but please man up. As for Yeaman being made a mug of, who is all time Derby top try scorer? And She Fell Over.

do all those consultation tries count?
That pass though...
Late news deadline day signings for Rovers. Gleeson and Long straight into the squad. Sheens ' im glad to have these two pro's onboard. The whole squad should be well juiced for the derby'.

You're not seriously taking the high ground with regards to drug taking in sport?
