This is where we have issues. When we could do with resting players we dont have the depth at the minute, its either very young lads who arnt quite ready or nothing.
No trusted backup hooker, no trusted backup halfback, same goes for the incnsistency, we rarely drop players on form as due to injurys theres never any effective backup.
Hopefully change next season where we look well stocked in the backs and second row
Need depth at hooker and the props next year too
I agree about the hooking point, but not on the halves. We have 3 very good ones IMO. We don't have depth at the minute you say, but we have Kelly, Ellis, Matongo, Lane and Savelio out. I personally don't think many clubs run with big enough quality numbers to actively rest players on a regular basis. Saints for example rested a few and lost to London.
I thought he went off for a head knock/cut, I'm sure I saw the green and white card being waved, but maybe it was for some else. Other reports do suggest lower leg problems.
He went off for a hia but had gone down earlier with what looked like an ankle problem when they scored one of their tries
born in airlie str,1939.german landmine that fell on boulevard,also blew up half of our house.thats why i dont like germans.not because they blew our house and boulevard up,but because the gerry pillock was aiming for craven park.
Looking at his Instagram, Kelly has walked to the top of Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh so I guess he's OK.
wished I`d seen that,i would have joined him.mind you ,at my age I might have got up the first 10 feet. lived here since 1968 and still never climbed it.

Like i said due to injurys we dont have effective backup
My point is more towards players around the 20,21,22 age range who can come in and do a good job when the likes of savelio, ellis and lane are out
Im hoping the reserve league taking off properly next season sorts this out and the young players get more experiance.
So manu and mini are injured right now, who plays?
Westerman and ellis injured who plays?
Faraimo and ratu injured who plays?
Hougton injured who plays?
Il take it back about halfback, as yes we have connor, sneyd and kelly, whos next in line as our upcoming halfbacks?
To be honest i dont think we would miss Minichello at the moment if he was out injured. Manu has one decent game in four. Looking forward to seeing some some real power and pace in that area next season with a lot more offloading
Is it 12 years since the last win. Leeds have been truly awful for at least 2 seasons and still we haven’t won there. It’s a bit like a derby for Agar, if he and them can’t raise themselves for this game, they deserve to be relegated (if it happens). Heart says convincing win, brain says otherwise. I’ve been to most games there, sat in the Nth. Stand or Carnegie and some of their fans are truly obnoxious. So yes, I to would love the win.
