PopTart:
I don't think you are right about Trueman though.
At the time of signing there was no one available at his talent level for a start.
We signed Russell to go with him with Lino being inconsistent.
For me it was a risk yes but a risk worth taking. Time will tell though as you say.
I don't think we'd have been as bothered if Russell had been fit.
Wigan aren't looking to release French when he has a long injury. They are helping him in rehab and celebrating the young kid taking his place.
I agree about Truman. His ability is not in doubt. He lifts the whole team when he plays. In fact, I’d go as far to say him being available could determine whether we finish in playoffs or not.
I think that’s why some people are getting upset about him being unavailable. Because he is so influential.
Speaking of young replacements.
Myles Lawford is about 14 months post ACL isn’t he? Usually it’s 9-12 months acl recovery. I wonder if he’s had a big set back.
Though inexperienced he is a halfback and could slot in for ocassions like this and provide that link. If he’s fit and not getting the opportunity then that’s strange considering we paid a fee and signed him as one for the future.
