…we still seem to get smashed up front and our defence exposed in the middle.We also have two of the best young props in the game.
Sure Galloway is out,& Ellis too last w/e,but we havent been close to winning a forward battle all season.
..and were talking about buying another forward in Mason..!
I wld have expected problems at half back,fullback & wing where we dont have a lot of depth,but our forwards shld be a strength.
Somethings missing for me..is it attitude?Is it Folkes?Is it leadership?

Without Ellis and KG our pack is easily dominated and soft. This has always been the case.

Groat is not ready to start but has been thrown into the deep end because we don't have adequate depth in the front row, Woods needs an experienced partner and Blair has not settled in yet.

We will improve when we have a fit pack to choose from but yes, it is a big concern that the forwards turn to marsh mellows without Ellis and KG.

A few of our forwards lack impact.

we have to had to lots of tackling due to guys not been able to hold onto the ball…that don't help
