You can tell what the extent of our injury crisis is by the amount of times Eddie Hemmings mentions it on Friday. If he barely mentions it, then it's not a crisis and we just have to carry on regardless. If it's mentioned every 5-10 minutes, then we know it's a proper crisis and up in the bracket with Wigan or his beloved Saints whenever they have injuries.
I think the squad was missing managed leading into this season. In particular the pack. As far back as last July we knew GRIX would be missing for the first 20 rounds of this year. And then to not even attempt to replace Paul Wood made things worse. Throw in players with injury records like Ben Evans and the Asotasi factor and ypu know players like Hill, Sims,Currie will have to do big minutes and won't be rested. The annoying thing is that there were players available to cover the gaps.
