We can't seem to take a trick on the injury front. At least this week the Blues have a ruckman in the team.
I know I flag that particular horse a fair bit, but we just do not have enough rucks on our list. It was a stupid error than was unnecessary. If we were only going to manage with 3, and one of those injured (Kreuzer), then the NB's needed at least 1. But the nearest to a true ruckman is Bolger and he isn't big enough for the job and young Aurrichio had never played there before and was being groomed to be a defender. That is simply poor management and dumb recruiting. Hopefully we learn our lesson soon. I'm not going to live forever!
