Quote: jordanp "The thing is a lot of fans take the excuses in, the biggest one is the "we didn't have our first choice halfbacks" it was accepted that 2010 was a right off because of injuries to Long and Horne, It was almost made out that no side has ever or ever will do well if there 6 and 7 don't play every game. look at Saints the quality of there squad was on the downfall and Eastmond and Pryce misses big chunks of the season (even the play offs if I recall) and they made the GF, I'd agree there is a massive excuse culture at the club, I'm sure hearing Rule at the fans forums and radio etc going into spin mode must transfer to the players.'"
The difference being that our squad has lacked the quality in depth of those other sides. Our second string halves simply haven't been up to the job. That isn't an excuse, it's fact - the result of years of poor recruitment and retention.
If you want a better comparison take a look at what's happening across the river with Dobson injured for the first time.
