The problem we have at the moment is a lack of experience!
The three young lads,Smalley,Wolfie and Allessandra are good young players all of them.
Unfortunately,we can't afford to carry these kids,that is not a swipe at their ability but a statement of fact.
Shez often speaks of the value of having Crossley behind his defence to both encourage and instruct them.These young forwards have nobody talking to/helping them(with the possible exception of Hughes!)
It is a fact that we miss experienced campaigners like Liddell and Gregan,these are the players who can bring the best out of the youngsters.
What we need to find hopefully within the next few days are a couple of very experienced players,who will hopefully provide a better balance of youth and knowledge of the game.
