Quote: Stu M "Fully appreciate the games you’ve played and yes I expected a drop post WCC which to give you credit didn’t really happen. Maybe this is the dip
However in mitigation to the points you make about next week, our pack has been flogged. Due to the number of injuries we’ve had Clark, Lees and Sironen have been playing 80 mins every week more or less so there’s some fatigue to consider there too.
Delaney played busted which resulted in a reoccurrence of his knee and Stephens has played way more games than envisaged at just 19
It’s hardly like we are fresh as daisies going into next week and I’m also not sure you’re missing 6 of your first choice 17. That’s 7 if Matautia doesn’t make it and that’s not including Wingfield and Delaney who would be first replacements'"
I think we will have at least the following missing
Cooper
Isa
French
O’Neil
and presumably Smith
I’m obviously assuming that there won’t be anymore injuries or suspensions.
