ellis and yeamo for one match

Well. Its 17 players at least. I also forgot about Paea. What was up with him I missed that?

If Paea and Taylor are both out then possibly a debut for Osbourne? And if Griffin gets banned then another one for Cameron Scott? Although Yeaman out of retirement isnt the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Not sure how he would fell about it though.

Richy Horne back in the halves.

4 half backs, 2 wingers, back up winger/centre, 2, maybe 3 or 4 props all missing next week plus maybe griffin for a punch.

I can't remember so many injury problems like this since 2004. Have we even been able to name the same 17 2 games in a row yet this year?

get sir Richard of whiting to ride in on his charger

Worst case scenario side (including Turgut not being able to be recalled yet, which would be ironic since its his team that has got us in this mess). I highly doubt Connor or Washbrook will get banned.

Crikey. Tbf we've had a 3 year run, about time we threw them a bone.

Yeah, I don't mind losing to them so much as losing that long winning run

It's disappointing but such a long run of dominance has arguably devalued the Derby. Them getting a bye maybe isn't a bad thing.

Like we dont have any injuries...

Dont mind her. She has been doing the same act for 10 years. Its how we know its derby week.

Righto.
