The Last Team Standing Premiership

[The Marshall]

While I don't wish ill will on any player, and injuries on clubs, I do hope that the playing field so to speak becomes a bit more even or level, for our sake. We are having a tougher year than usual on the injury front (I guess it was always going to happen, given our recent run), and I just hope that doesn't cost us too dearly at the business end. Time will ultimately tell, but I hope we will be there when the whips are cracking.

Unfortunately it just got harder with Gus ruled out. Yes it was widely reported that Parra had an easy draw. Not to mention playing at home every week during COVID while we have one of the hardest draws. That said the Storm also have one of the toughest draws and they keep winning. The power of keeping virtually injury free.

........and the power of having the refs in their pockets.

Yes and that as well

The truth of the matter is, you need a bit of luck to win comps. It ain't 100% about talent, coaching and desire. That's probably about 80% of the battle. Luck is the remaining 20%.

The fact of the matter is, if Friend or Keary go down with injury - even if it's for just 3 weeks - then we're done for 2020. If Keary gets just one innocuous head knock, we could well be done.

We don't have adequate quality coverage anymore at No.6 or No.9 now that Verrills and Rads are out. We are basically on a tightrope.

Look at our backups for the 6. and 9. jersey - Lam has talent and potential, but not the quality to steer a team to a GF. Hutchison is as threatening as a wet lettuce in 1st grade to be frank. Maubs is heading into the sunset career wise, and in the halves/hooker position has always 'done the job', but is not threatening. Tedesco has the skillset to be a running 5/8th, but you'd lose everything he provides in the no.1
