Quote mat="mat"TBH I think if it had been a crucial game herbert could have played this week.'"
How more crucial is your opening home game of the season.
Quote mat="mat" With langley and briggs both out for significant periods of time, would herbert playing have given us a significantly better chance of beating wigan on sunday? If I'm honest I dont really think it would.
'"
Well we'd have a better chance with him in the side not sat in the stands.
Quote mat="mat" The way I think potters viewing it is this. If herbert is brought back too soon, in a game we dont really have a realistic chance of winning and then aggravates the injury and misses significantly more games then we really are in trouble given briggs injury as well.'"
We have a chance of winning every game its not like we're playing the Australian national side.
Quote mat="mat" So I suspect potter is taking the hit on the wigan game to ensure that herbert is absolutely 100% for the winnable run of games we have coming up after wigan is out of the way.'"
I certainly hope he's not tasking a "HIT" on the Wigan game as last year showed its easy to pick up that losing habit.
