I just wanted to get in ahead of this afternoons game.
I've seen a lot of talk of needing to gut our roster, or write off this year, or that we are miles off the pace of the "top clubs" and I think it is important we all take a step back and breath.
We are one of the top clubs and we are at the beginning of an open premiership window.
We are also a club that has 3 of our spine out and now our No1 (arguably) prop out.
Take CNK, Wighton and Hodgson out of the Raiders then throw in Papali or lose Tedesco, Keary, Friend and JWH and it will have an effect.
Thats not to use it a easy excuse, we have had a few poor performances and it doesnt help that DCE isnt in his best form.
In the context of this season we are now in a tight spot. But regardless of what happens this afternoon or if we fail to make the 8 I think as a whole the future is bright.
Soon our bright youngsters will transition on some our depth players, hopefully we will get some luck with injury and a few of our young forwards will continue to develop.
Right now is a blip, we are still looking good
