Though there are deficiencies in our play, they can improve, what must improve with time is the size of our squad. We will be forced to play lads who are simply not ready and that will result in more injuries.
Almost certainly that problem comes down to available finance.
Got to admit to a wry smile when I read on here about the Chaps out playing us when we have been told time and again how they lacked aggression etc!
With Cook now likely added to the injury list along with others and Covid isolations, we really are going to struggle .
Didnt Cook come back on yesterday ?

I said on Twitter that all four of their ex-Widnes lads would get in to our starting 17.
But you can blame Ottawa and their monopoly money for that. I have no doubt we'd still have all four if it hadn't been for that ridiculous situation (not that I blame the players for going for it either).
Looking back, I thought smith ran the game in wales, Danny the Whitehaven game but yesterday neither of them took control
dummy half - far too many looping passes or passes to nobody, losing any momentum we had
not respecting possession - a cardinal sin, what was our percentage set completion ? Not huge I would guess
defence far too slow out of the blocks giving 5 yards at every ptb
next week is going to be tough, as we can only use our registered players, nobody has commented on Dwyer being out through Covid, if so and others have to self isolate the game could well be off
we need a hooker ASAP to get the team moving around the park.
