Our team this week could possibly be missing 6 of our top 17. Kennedy, Hicks, Hill, Alberts, G Stewart and King.

If we can pull a win out against the storm without these blokes, surely we are premiership contenders. Not to mention the unexpected loss of Hoppa!

I just hope that Tezza and BK can prove their fitness and play on Sunday. I wouldn't usually be that nervous if Stewy2 and Hicks were the backup, but we are pretty much scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

I wouldn't mind seeing Mattai step up however, I just hope that Kennedy is fit for the sake of our defense. He saved at least 3 tries last week.

p.s. I realise Stephenson could possibly be in over Alberts, but I wanted to make the fact look more obvious. And in all fairness with Hicks and Alberts injured we have little cover for the centre/wing.

I get the feeling Alberts is expected to play before steppa

Well if so, we ARE missing 6 of our top 17.

So much for a lack of depth................... i hope anyway.

We just need to piock guys that can defend, and defend bloody well.

No one seems to be mentioning Karl Johnson. I saw him play against the Tigers in the trial match & thought he did a good job.

He is not injured
