There is not a chance you will take a beasting next week. For once, I think some of the injury exaggerations is really not exaggerated. It does look pretty bleak from our perspective.
I think our lads have shown a lot of heart and try their best. But we’re short on quality, power and composure. And we’ll be missing a few ourselves including, crucially, two of the four who’d get in most SL starting 17s (imo - Lunt and Carney, the others being McGuire (possibly still a doubt) and Masoe; honourable mention to Mulhern).
Last year was different, but at this level the disasterous has become routine. I rocked up again just in time for the fairytale years, so I can’t complain. But my expectation this year is now that against anybody but Widnes (who are in a similar position, but heading in a worse direction) or a team in a real slump (e.g. Hudds and Catalans) we’ll be well beaten on bad day and find a way to shoot ourselves in the foot on a good day. Whether your injuries will reduce you to the current level of Hudds or Catalans, I dunno. But i’m sure Radford will send out a team that is bigger than ours and has a bloody-minded determination to win. Remember, you not only beat us with playing with 12 for the large majority of the last derby, you outscored us after the sending off and the result only ever looked in doubt briefly.
Maybe we’ll beat Wigan today, and i’ll look daft. I very much hope so. But right now, i’d snap your hand off for us getting within 20 and nobody getting an injury that rules them out into the middle 8s.
