Haven't we got enough?! We must have potentially 6 or 7 who can play at prop. I reckon we are slightly light in the backs, BJB potentially gone for maybe at least 6 months, all it takes is another injury and players will be used out of position to cover which is never ideal

But out of those "6 or 7", Fifita, Arona, King, Green, Tangata and Crowther are all potentially unavailable at this time, I believe, leaving us with only Kopczak, Tanginoa and Gwaze to cover prop ??

Well I didn't know about Green if it's true about him, and yeah Fifita we just don't know when he will be available and how he's gonna be with what seems to be an ongoing problem. Someone must be running over a few black cats that's all I can say! It just shows up until last year and now, how lucky we have been with injuries since CC took over.

He doesn’t know for certain either.

This is the perennial Trinity panic attack.

You don’t know that Tangata won’t be playing, I can’t see that info anywhere, I see on Total RL that he will be available.

I also think Gwaze looks good at the moment.

Not ideal but it’s workable.

Wouldn’t be surprised if King was ok either.

He's right that we have a big hole in our pack though, something which showed up again last night.
Obviously those injured players will start to become available over the coming weeks, which will help but, equally, we may lose another couple as well so, it's good to hear Chester saying that there may be another 1 or 2 coming in.
We still have a few back row options but, for some grunt going forward, we are currently lacking.
I think that Chester that Tangata had done a rib but tat he hoped that he'd be available next week.

Prop Nathaniel Peteru appears to be still without a club and did OK at Leeds?
