Smiffy27:
Just to confirm current injury list (most very long term)
Backs
Dufty, Taylor-Wray, Ashton, Lindop, Leyland, Hayes
Forwards
Harrison, Walker, Holroyd (obviously not all of these would play every week but most would)
Only Harrison is likely to be available next week. This makes it difficult to shake the team up, rest players or drop them.
All teams get injuries and it's part of playing rugby but this is quite a long term list. Tough times.
I think what is irking people, and I consider myself well and truly irked of late, is that we have reverted to round pegs, square holes.
Harthill for Walker? No, we persist with Crowther and Powell.
Reserve or dual reg winger? No, we put King there - someone who makes Tai look like Des Drummond.
And whats this thing of spelling Currie? The bloke has got an engine like a steam train, and is more likely to produce a killer pass than Williams, Powell, King or Tai put together. But no, haul him off and stick Powell on.
