Anyone else concerned about the size/strength of our pack? It's understandable that we're going to be weaker with the absences but i think rovers' forwards will run riot against our pack

I am concerned, but seeing as our 2 starting (and biggest props) are injured/away, what do you suggest? |

HOPEFULLY we will have Moa back, Also Jay pitts is coming in right? So we will have additions there. |

my thoughts too
TBH though Lynch and OCarroll stepped up tonight, Bowden and Green did more than expected |

With the reduced interchange rule, a more mobile pack will overcome a bulkier pack due to the fatigue factor.
In short, no, not concerned. |

Pack seemed weak tonight but stepped up to the challenge. With the addition of pitts and yeamo back in the frame, will give us turner at loose man and aspinwall to the bench. Also hope moa back but thats 50/50.
O'carrol for me seemed the best tonight, but not taking anything away from lynch

Why would you possibly put turner at loose man? |

Lynch is a fantastic recruit. Him and Houghton's work rates and engines are massive.

Because no matter what people say, i think yeamo will go straight back into centre.. and even though i want turner to stay at centre, i think with his speed and tackling lately he's better then aspinwall at looseman |

I think next week we just need to match Rovers' pack in the early stages and they'll blow themselves away. If we deal with Paea and Mika well we should see them off and start punching holes as they tire, they're struggling to play for 80 minutes so far this season. Have a feeling from Sandercock's smalltime obsession with beating us they might go all out for it from the off and then run out of steam. We also have the better back line IMO.

why should we be worried? our forward stats are amongst the best in league! reason we are 2nd. not ideal ogre n moa being out but no need to worry about rovers. we ain't as big but more mobile and got loads more minutes in us. wouldn't swap. there's a reason they keep getting their ass'es handed to em in the last 15 mins in games-they're TOO big |

Speaking of forwards, is Mike Burnett out injured at the moment ?
