one of the things we're not seeing with them, and also with the older players, is continuity.
Rarely (if at all) have we fielded the same side this year.
It's hard to get a combination and understanding going if the bloke alongside you is constantly changing.
Only 4 of our players have played every game this year
Just with the kids...
Dow, Fisher, SPS and Charlie have had plenty of game time, and as a result have probably shown the most,
but down the list.... through injury and omission
Weitering 11
Silvagni 11
McKay 8
Polson 7
Cunningham 5
Kerr 4
Williamson 0
Macreadie 0
and next cabs off the rank....
De Koning 0
Schumacher 0
Key players.....
Kreuzer 12
Murphy 8
Docherty 0...have missed plenty.
and some of the players from other clubs recruited to boost us have struggled for games. (some might suggest one or two might have had too many
)
Mullett 11
Garlett 11
Kennedy 10
Lang 6
Pickett 4
Lobbe 1
Others already on the list from last season have also missed through injury or form
Plowman 13
Casboult 10
Kerridge 8
Graham 8
Marchbank 7
Phillips 5
Byrne 2
We've used a lot of players this year but the combination has been anything but settled.
All ok if we had 5 wins, played competitively, and I could see some structure in a plan, I'd run with that given our injury luck. Just can't excuse one win, alot of thrashings from craps sides, as what we send out there, even with injuries is better than that.
