Out of our long list of wounded soldiers at the end of last season does anyone have any idea who if any might be fit to start the new season. I’ve written off Evans til Xmas and probably Stewart if he’s still here but what about the rest. Any ideas anyone?
Embo is running again, Ross is almost 100%, and Ballard is back for 1st team. Batth is back, there are 2 or 3 still not quite ready.
Evans back at Christmas and as much as I want the lad to be flying for pre season I do worry about Huggins. I really hope the kid can kick on and push Hume.
I put most of the younger lads' injuries down to the rigours of first team football. They will be better for it next season. Alese looks a real athlete. Hume and Cirkin flying plus Ballard and Batth and that's great options at the back for us. Real attacking intent to support the front 3 as well.
Same here, quite a few of them hadn't played that much football and were thrust into the thick of things.
'Mens' footy as well. They gave it their best but hopefully next season their bodies are more robust.
Should be yeah, I think that was the main reason for our injury list last season. One of the drawbacks of having the youngest squad in the league I guess. Some bad luck on top of that with injuries to senior players as well and it's a problem.
Aye, it was all a bit of a 'perfect storm' in the end with Alese, Ballard and Batth missing out. All covering the same position......but hey ho.........we go again. Cirkin will be physically stronger, so will Alese and fingers crossed Huggins. Looking back, not only were Humes performances outrageous, but so was his fitness record. He didn't miss a game once he got in the side iirc
