eric i 610 Posted March 26, 2021 BWD being out injured for a year and a half constitutes 0.5point average reduction, some will say Godfrey's making the rules up to suit himself but I don't believe there are any rules regarding average reassessment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillwhitewasmad 1,486 Posted March 26, 2021 With a number 1 who's better at 5 and 4 second strings and 1 reserve think it could be a long painful season for us if we don't get a genuine heat leader with the average left . I am a believer in as long as I've been entertained the results don't matter but it's hard to see anything but lots of defeats home and away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am a believer in as long as I've been entertained the results don't matter but it's hard to see anything but lots of defeats home and away I agree if we genuinely fill the average at no1 there’s no reason why we can’t have a a decent season with a solid middle order particularly at home and a good reserve pairing however should we start way under the average it could fast become a disaster !

I hope so but can't see bwd fitting even with huge bending of averages without making another change. And in fairness to rob he's said he won't and I do admire his stance on that .

As long as we don’t get that bad no1 I’m hopeful we will be decent at home with how well Tero, Tommy and Josh go around the Eddie Wright along with young Jordan Palin at reserve which as long as we aren’t disastrous at home I don’t mind too much about on the road Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
