would ahve an impact. but to onli win 2/16 games i dont think it would be that great. ill give an example.
at the moment the saints are playin 14 players in there team of 22 that can be moved into the midfield. thats depth.
the cats played with no ling or ablet on the weekend and the youngesters stodd up wen it counted.
hawks ahve been missing crawfs and hodge through out the season and there still sitting in the top 4.

good teams have midfield depth (im not saying the saints are good, i was using them as an example because i no a bit bout there team)
