Counting the cost

[slomo]

to be fair im with bunter on this one , i know its only game one, but there were a few players out there tonight that were well short of S14 standard, as for so many injuries so early in the season , you have to look at the pre-season training and the strength and conditioning coaching, weve entered one of the hardest competitions in rugby without a recognised hooker.... FFS!! what is going on with our recruitment programme?....in saying that couldn't fault 6,7,8, hogo, bam, and brownie....

[tragic]

I heard Sheps did a quad

[BDAVEY]

Sheps out for the whole season?

FFS. Maybe we could just ask if we could play 7's.

ru sure about all this doom and gloom Sheps and Browny etc

Nobody has answered the question about Shep... why say he is out for the season?.. did he do his hamy? ... did he fall in front of a bus? ... whats going on?

[jombi]

I don't think it's as simple as 'they didn't gel', Tatupu is just a turnstyle with frizzy hair. Mitchell may aswell just put a kid/academy player at 12 since there is no way they could tackle any worse.

Cummins is the main thing here, if he were in the team/fit you could move DHP to fullback which frees up O'Connor for the inside backs.

could move DHP to fullback

Peks for MOM you must be dreaming

YEH QUAD AT WARM UP.......... was it that cricket game they play doesnt sound too bad but Gits has been out for a while with the same.
Browny out for a few weeks too
Crossy looks sore with a stinger
Bart back problem could be indefinite

The bloke is a Sevens superstar! And if you want to move O'Connor to the inside backs who else could you put at fullback? You sure as hell can't put Harry or Sare there.

[bunter]

Jeez no disrespect to Pek, but if he was MOM we really do have problems

He will get better as the seaosn goes on u watch.......... better to have him out there given 120% than sitting on the bench

[bunter]

Yes BD, can't question his commitment, shame about the others

I sure hope not -it was more of a question. Hopefully Sheps's quad strain is not major. I haven't heard anything about Brown, though.
