who have we played?

Clueless

Mate that can surely be no basis of an argument as we'd have won these easy games we've had with or without Hansen(and another 4 or 5 players no doubt).

If you look at the smaller details within those performances he's been missed IMO. I've agreed with you before that when everyone is back fit and playing he may have to fight hard for a place in the 17 but at the minute he gets one on merit.

Is Hansen a better option then Tuson or Highes at the moment- 100% yes

Will he be a better option then Hock or Farrell when we have a full squad- possibly not.

Maguire obviously rates him very highly though.

Liverpool lost more games with Steven Gerrard playing than without him last season, is he cr@p aswell?

Because months ago I claimed we won't miss him and when the games played out we didn't. Not clueless, in fact I'm just not one of the inbreds who can actually see what happens on the rugby pitch and what players offer.

So have we missed him? How many have we lost without him?

Some fair points-warranted. But the fact remains he wasn't missed.

Doesnt mean we havnt missed the things he offers to the team just because we havnt lost any games, I remember us winning a lot of games when Farrell was injured a few years back, doesnt mean we didnt miss his presence, worst topic ever this.

Your putting results down to 1 player wtf

Who have we played when he was fit?

Who have we played when he's been injured?

All that = you CLUELESS

The guy is a very good player his gives 100% week in week out which is alot more than i could say about others

Played nearly every game in a SL winning side last season, played in the grand final, scored a fantastic try in the play off's, end of arguement, he's a class forward.

Because our depth in the squad is very good

Was he missed? NO

Was out pack stronger without him? NO

Explain, without murmuring DID WE MISS HIM? DID WE MISS HIM? DID WE MISS HIM? Why you feel he hasn't been missed, and why you feel he won't add anything to the team when he returns. Results mean nothing, we would have won against quins and crusaders if he had played.

Sorry soft lad. Don't have to answer or justify anything further than look at the results. The only stat that matters.

Exactly. He wasn't missed. Someone else who gets it.

Results mean nothing? Oh deary deary me.

ah name calling now.

Just defending myself pal.

Nope. It's far simpler. Was that one person missed? Answer no.

We won games without pat richards are you saying he wasn't missed?

We beat Huddersfield away with Sam and Joel. They're both useless!

Seems to me like you have some sort of personal vendetta against H. Maybe he's in on something against you with John Stape.

Cracking thread.

Of course we did. We'd not have struggled v Bradford with him in the side for example IMO. Now I can't prove that but that opinion is based on far more than your quite frankly ridiculous reasoning at the top of this thread.

I will be far more confident with Hansen and Fielden in the side going into the business end of season than without them. We have been winning games but hardly setting the world on fire and even v Quins we lost direction in the 2nd half. Hansen (and Fielden) will make that less likely to happen and you will see us win games more comfortably when he is back especially against the better sides.

Anyone who thinks we can dispense with Hansen or have not missed him because we are where are on with wiin/loss front has got their heads in the sand.

I agree with DaveO



The easiest way too look at it is this. Would have Hansen come straight back into the side on Monday.

Answer, yes, and into the starting line up.
