Quote ="Odem"How many other teams could cope with those injuries? All of those players would be in the 17 other than maybe Dudson or Flower if they were fit.
I don't think many teams other than maybe Warrington could cope without their best number 7, starting SR, best winger (MOS) and goal kicker, while also missing 4 props including your highest paid and most experienced prop!
How would Leeds do without Burrow, Peacock, Hall, JJB, Bailey, Kirke and Griffin?
How would Saints do without Lomax, Perry, Meli, Wilkin, LMS, Puletua and Clough?
And yet we have just finished the toughest run of games we have had for a good few years and won them all!
With a slightly easier run of games from now untill the end of the season, hopefully these players can rest up and be ready for the back end.'"
These injuries could work in our favour. Apart from fresher legs coming in to share the load, we'll have potentially 7 props fighting for 4 (2 start, 2 bench) spots, plus a fight for back row spots when HH gets fit. Farrell won't want lose his place, Tuson is having his best season yet, Hock doesn't need an explanation, and Hughes is looking like he's settled in to SL just fine. I expect we'll see some big games from these boys at the business end of things.
