A fair few of those were none starters and that sadly includes Bill.
In which case I don't think we are that decimated tbh, no more than most tbh.
Of those only Kay and Lyne being out are causing serious issue. Tanginoa has improved but he can be covered as can Pitts.
What I'm saying is no excuses, there is enough there to play a decent game.
That’s still 7 out of the match day squad. Tupou I put in because if not for his injury he would have been playing without doubt and we are paying him.
It’s not an excuse and I’m glad the club don’t use it as an excuse.
It’s just almost every time before we play a team the opposition are bleating about injuries (Salford, Saints, Cas etc) yet we just get on with it facing the very same adversity. It annoys me how we get labelled by some as a game we should win because the opposition are injury hit yet don’t consider we are down on troops too.
I’m sure it’ll be a decent game and we can come away with the points. I’m inclined to be optimistic after last weeks effort too.
I’m looking forward too the game. I can see a close one.
