Whilst not being aware of the facts or details and reasons why certain decisions have been taken, your summary is Absolutely spot on!!

but lets face it we could lose the first 5-6 games and still win the comp

over the years the start of the season matters less and less and less and this year is no different - having everyone back isnt important nor is having everyone fit - having everyone fit and firing at the end of the season is all thats important in our league now.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

To wigan forever you are missing the point.i do not want to see us losing any game,and I would not be very pleased if we became a play off team.for a club like us not to have back up wingers and centres is a disgrace,just look who we have let go,Joe Burgess,Davies,Tierney, sarg ,hank,who have we replaced them with ????

Hardaker, French

I do agree we are light at Wing and Centre though.

When fully fit we have two wingers, two centres and Bibby covering both positions...That isn't enough, especially when you factor in Marshall's injury, Manfredi's injury record, and lets be honest, Gildart does pick up his fair share.

Hardaker has more than proven himself to be a competent Centre.
