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 don’t care win lose or draw but the reserves put in a more spirited performance today. What excuse could he give for at least giving Hartill a spot, even starting him. Keeps making appearances in the 21 so just let him have a go.
