Quote: Cleck Bulls "we could do with another prop or 2 actually. I also think we definitely need cover in the halves because its would be a big risk when theres only kearney, sammut, gale and maybe addy that can play there because we need kearney at fullback. Its a shame we couldnt let a youngster have a go at halfback but we dont have any who play there, i know they may be inexperienced but if they dont learn now when will they'"
Don't get too hung up on us needing Kearney at fullback. It's widely regarded as Kears best position so we do have options. That said if the eight week prognosis for gale is correct the he should be ok for first game. Likewise batemans injury means a chance for Donaldson/ Olbison. Much rather we get the injuries now than in last week of preseason tbh.
