  Scott back and we don't concede as many, Jennings and Semi back and we score more.
  
  I think we'll win more than we lose the last 5

    Semi will be fine (providing he doesn't end up guilty in the off-field stuff). He'll get his increased contract with an upgrade for the remaining season and be a happy camper

  No mate. We are down on troops. As comment above says Scott & Jennings back next week, Semi possibly the week after

  In the presser, BA said mannah was the only player in our top ten earners on the field tonight.

    Our forwards try hard but, as I keep saying, are just too small to make a huge impact against bigger packs, and Tigers have a big pack. How good is Aloili(?), a Parra junior, in Tigers back row and we let him go?

  If we can get Scott and Jennings back, and when Ma'u comes back, and if we can keep centers playing in the centres, our edge defense won't be so leaky. No team has got us through the middle (isolated breaks but we otherwise force teams to go around us). So our defense should make us competitive, and then the question is whether we can manufacture enough points? There, I have my doubts. We also have to manufacture enough points to secure leads against teams with a finals spot to play for, and I think we will struggle. Overall, we should get ourselves into the contests on the back of good defense, but will we frustrate ourselves into error and poor field position via clunky attack?
