Lightweight (in every sense of the word) bench really worries me as does relying on Bud. A glance over the extended bench reinfoces how skinny our depth is.
A few injuries and we are very stretched. Entire team needs to step up.
Think there should be big minutes from either Stephano or Klemmer, considering the bench.
Can’t believe we are favourites
As we discussed on here a month or two back - we have far too many kids on top 30 deals, which is reflected in the benches this week.
Can’t believe we are favourites
I just put my tips in and did a double take at the odds. Drags have been up and down but have put together some dangerous 20min blocks of play which has the potential to blow an under strength team like ours out of the water. Let’s hope we continue to show the resilience of the pat few weeks to get through those periods, as there are plenty of points on offer against their weak pack.
Dragons are leaking points but I’m not sure how many points we can score. Discipline will be paramount as the goose this week is on a par with Sutton.Can’t believe we are favourites
I’d be taking the 2 points early if available. I’ll predict a victory to the tigers by 2 or 4 points.
I said before the season started that we would have ups and downs with a young team and the most important thing was they show commitment and enthusiasm...which we have seen except for a game and a half. Yes we don't have experienced depth and a few young kids in our top 30 however for me this is a year to blood our young players and give them some experience and win a few along the way.
Lack of depth is very concerning.
Bud to have a big game against his old club.
Absolutely Bud needs to step up for this game. Needs to bring his A+ game.Lack of depth is very concerning.

maybe we can win? not overly confident these are historically the games we lose.
Hopefully Benji's now train is real and these are no longer the games we tend to lose.maybe we can win? not overly confident these are historically the games we lose.
