I hope I'm wrong but with Choc, Glenn and Rodney out - three of our 80 minute playing forwards - I doubt we have the capability to compete against the Dogs for the full match.
Apart from Ballin, where are the forwards this week who can set up a try, or score one? Who is going to tackle for 80 minutes.
King and Kite and both under injury 'clouds', George is a 20-minute option, Perry certainly can't be expected to do much, and we have our perennial favourite, Bailey likely to play for much of the match.
I'm sure Joe and Jamie will give 100%. I'm also sure we will do well if we give our backs some quality possession. But, seriously, how can the forwards hold the Dogs?.
