We started with a squad lacking in quality and depth so to start blaming injuries, IMO, is just a little short-sighted.'"
Don't think anyone's started [iblaming[/i injuries as such, have they? For a start, we began our losing run before they really hit (apart from at FB at any rate). But dismissing them as having no effect would be equally as daft.
We're also missing two players who would make a huge difference in Crocker and Lauaki.
The way I look at it is that injuries may not be the underlying problem, but they're certainly going to make it more difficult to turn things around.
