Quote ="Mr. Zucchini Head"If we lost for example Shaul, Sneyd, Ellis and Westerman we would be very much weakened, but we can call on Naughton, Rankin, Abdull, Hadley, Thompson, Whiting etc and we have plenty of options with those guys being able to play a couple of positions. If Salford lost Locke, Dobson, Taylor and Hock who can they call on? Their first 17 shades ours, but their reserves and more importantly their youngsters are well behind ours imo.'"
By the sounds of it after reading on here, Shaul wouldn't be a massive loss with Naughton standing out big time during pre season. Westerman the same with Abdul waiting in the wings, as you have mentioned. You guys lose Paea for a good spell and God knows where your go forward is going to come from, Ellis can't do everyone's job!
