Have to disagree if McGuire gets a knock he will put Matty Marsh in the half’s and don’t think Atkin and marsh at half backs will keep us up agree we do need a stronger running second row but we need a half as well
It's an 'if' though - and there'd maybe an option to loan somebody like Lilley for a month, if needed.
IMO we still need some more power in the pack. Tbf, from TS's interviews I think he's focused on good kick chases to gain ground on exit sets rather than adding a lot more grunt - but there's always a balance to be struck.
In the halves, we might struggle if we get injuries. In the pack, I fear we'll struggle at full strength. We've reached the stage of almost celebrating matching (or
nearly matching) other teams' packs - such is the relief at not being blown away down the middle. And last weeks' game was quite encouraging. However, it's not like our backs are good enough for that to give us a great chance of victory. We need to be capable of winning the forward battle some weeks, if we're to have a shot at 8th or above.
