I wonder just how much our injuries are really affecting our performances this year. Sure it's a big toll and they are part of the problem affecting team cohesion/morale etc, but can they really be seen as the major reason for the team's poor showings and last place standing, as the media keep on leading us to believe? Both Penrith and Canberra have had a comparative amount of injuries, yet they have managed to remain competitive and they appear to be growing stronger each week.
Once again, I think it's the injury to Galloway that has had the most detrimental effect on the team. Lawrence, Ayshford, Anasta and Moltzen weren't really doing a lot before they went down, although Anasta did look much better when he switched to half. Bell was going ok, but I doubt his presence would've made too much of a difference over the past month or so. I do think we may have seen a different side this year if Galloway and Woods could've been there taking it up together each week. Or perhaps the team's problems are much bigger than simply losing players to injury? Will we really see an improved side when everyone is back on deck?
