For the first time in a few years, are we going to be faced with an injury / suspension crisis ?



Watkins - Carried off today



Ali - Sent off and maybe suspended



Donald - At least another 10 weeks out



Eastwood - That'll be 10 weeks too



Sinfield - Missing again today and still carrying the injury from the WCC



That's at least 4 front line first choice players that could be unavilable for an extended period and could this have a serious effect on our retention of the title ?

Also Ablett



I think it will depend who we have fit the last few weeks of the season.



I can not really see us finishing top 2 this season so it will depend how strong we are in the play offs

I'd expect Sinfield to be back next week. Wasn't the ali yellow just a bit of scrapping? May have to recall BJB if Watkins is out for a long period.

Sin binned. Depends on what the match review brings up for anything else.

I thought Pitts did well today so he'll be in the 17 whilst Beastwood is out imo,i agree we may need to recall Bjb.

Sinfield shouldn't be too far off but it tests our squad depth and lets see if the ones selected can step up.

As for not finishing top 2 lets not get carried away half way through march after only 6 games.

Ali was sin-binned not sent off

Ali was sin binned.

The OP does have a point , but I think its not time to panic , we have more than enough good players to be competitive , its a chance for fringe players to step up , we will be ok .

Ali did nothing. Bailey not so...

What did Lauititi do to get binned and potentially banned? I didn't think that was possible these days as you can't be sin binned for foul play.

The BBC match report listed Lauititi as sent off, so that's the source of the confusion, I think.

Had a fight with Mason (I think) and they both got binned.
