Luca Moretti is unavailable for this week's game after suffering a quadriceps injury during the Eels' win over the Warriors. He is expected to miss the next four matches.
We have 9 players who would be in our best 17 injured,

I'd say 6 of them would be in our best 17, 2 1st choice backups and Dunster.
You're being generous there. I'd say only Mosses and Hopgood are big outs and we would win more games if we had them both playing. For everyone else, they're pretty average and replacements have been like-for-like IMO.
You're being a bit ridiculous there. Simmonson and Sivo over Tago and Russell already make that backline 100 times better.
Kelma over Doorey. Kelma was just starting to hit his straps. Paulo over Keir. Then you have Guymer and Moretti who all could argue to be in the team over the likes of Lane and Matto on this seasons form.
Hopgood and Moses. No brainer.
Yep I meant 9 beause Tuilagi I put under that list over Dunster. Ik he is not on the list man I doubt he plays this week.
It's would be very difficult even with the top teams to win games with this injury toll. Still the biggest disappointment is not having a recognised back up 7 who was ready to go. That cost the club at least 4 wins
Look, I understand that teams can just get unlucky sometimes, but Parra have been hit pretty hard with injuries over the past few seasons. When was the last time we put our best 17 on the park, and when was the time before that?
These constant injuries have to come down to fittness and training. Not sure who will be taking that role on next season, but there is a lot to change to ensure the safety of our players. As has been stated, we can't win with our best players in the grandstand.
