Have those teams more injuries? Radford himself was spouting "Us still had 7 blokes out" Who would have played yesterday if all fit? Houghton Manu Burrito? That's about it.Bowden Tuimavvve may change place with Fash Griff but for me don't make the 17.So 3 out. Wakey have Brough Johnson Tupou but are letting forwards to to bring in Sau? Catalans Broughton Tomk who else ? Cas have fair few but Moors Gale Shenton stand out. Wakey and Cas it's key players moreso than huge numbers it seems? We have Wallis retired.Greenwood gone for season. Scruton seemingly done? Jewitt similar.Quinlan missed 20ish games.Lunt hardly played .Lee, Masoe and Garbutt and Lannon just back. So 5 or 6 out of 17 and 2 not match fit.Started the season with 6 props and 2 or 3 who could cover but only having 1 or 2 fit for large parts is what has done us harm. There does seem to be a few trickling back now though so hopefully that's the worse passed.Fc s 13 match streak was put down to injuries yesterday's game was won despite injuries.Dont believe the HDM fake news.
FTR We've had a few more of the starting 17 than just those 3. Al of our left edge has been missing, 3 of which are dream team players in Johnstone, Tupou, Ashurst and Miller(came back last game), plus Brough, Arona, England & Huby. Randall's just come back after missing most of the season and also Batchelor has as well. Arundall our back up Centre is done for the season as is Johnstone and Arona. We let Pauli Pauli go over to Salford because we've got a few spare back rowers,to get a Centre cover till Tupou comes back in a month or so.
It's been a crazy season for injuries for a fair number of teams, there's always a couple of teams that get more than others but this year it seems there's been 4 or 5 teams with really bad injuries.
