Not that I wouild want them injured but Blair is another option in the halfs & a very good one at that. I also think our two hookers can take some of the work load, What we have this year is multiple options kicking & play making, last year we only had Burns & he was not consistant & went missing at times.

I listened to Jon Wells talking about gelling a new team last week and he stated that attack is a lot easier to gel that defence. That he said takes a lot more time on the training ground and a lot more understanding as its harder to drill.

As no expert I always assumed the other way around but it does seem to be coming to fruition with us. I like most despaired after the Wakey debacle, the defence looked like it had gone backwards and even 1st half v cats looked abysmal. Shows what I know, now this might all be a flash in the pan but at last(prob for 2 or 3 seasons) I'm looking forwards to watching us play.

Rovers are currently 3 points better off than from the equivalent fixtures last season.

That will remain the case even if we lose all of the next 3 SL games so from that perspective anything we get will be an improvement.

Very tough run of games but we seem to be competitive every week right now so anything is possible.

In comparison to last year, we are a better team with better players and the overall gap between some of the SL teams has definitely narrowed.
That said, to use a well worn record this year, there is no easy fixture in SL anymore which is a good thing, so we should take nothing for granted.

We had an easy fixture last Thursday/

I did say some of the teams and that ain't one of them.
