Next weeks team

[Mark from Brisbane]

Lawrence and Starling is a big loss. They're our top props and forward leaders and we are missing their aggression and meters.

Pleased someone finally mentioned this, it's actually a pretty big factor.

Imagine if we had these guys as run on, with Willie coming on fresh at 20 minutes.

I reckon our go forward would be 50% better.

Agree, 50% better than nothing is a big improvement. Watched a lot of the other games last weekend and jeez we are a long way off the pace.

The dogs lost a couple of props and got flogged big time (worse than us) against the lowly dragons so yes it makes a big difference.

We are also yet to finish a game with 17 players, this also makes a difference and probably explains why we tire in the last 20 minutes.
