I thought we went for a bigger squad this year to counter act that?
The injuries are always a factor but they have also been a handy excuse for fans to use. Quite simply the performances have been below what would be expected even given the players missing. The team on the park should have been better than 3 wins in 17 games.
Thats true, however a team like Wakey needs its best players on the park. If all we have on the park is players who wouldnt get in other sides then we are always going to struggle.
Fifita, Tupou, Johnstone, Ashurst are our star men and we missed them for huge chunks of last season.
We also have had to move Tanginoa into the front row where he is far less effective so we lose another player there effectively.
Like if you watch the Hull KR game back, we actually put on some decent stuff & outperformed KR on the stats, but every time we got some momentum or field position we came up with an error.
