Quote ="G1"I disagreed when he made the statement. I disagree now. We have plenty of depth in the pack. We topped the league by 4 points. How much forward depth do you need?'"
Additional depth comes in handy if/when you stay in competitions past the first hurdle and/or lose multiple players with injuries and/or suspensions.
Quote ="G1"There remains zero evidence that yet more forwards added to the squad would've made ANY difference to the outcome of the WCC or the CC campaign.'"
The evidence is that the squad assembled failed in both their early season target matches. It's impossible to say what difference (if any) Eastwood's availability would have made in those matches. It's equally impossible to say it would have made no difference either. We'll never know now.
Gleeson is going well, providing a vital two try contribution at the weekend, taking them to within eighty minutes of Old Trafford. An astute addition to the Wigan squad.
