Cerra+Walsh are fair cover for losing Cripps....and Kennedy was already out.
Pittonet out on form is fine, he hasn't looked right since he came back from his injury. However Pittonet out for team balance is where things don't add up. TDK can't ruck all game, he struggles when he is #1 ruck with a backup. How will he cope playing #1 ruck with no backup? This is where our clearance game will suffer. We might be able to eek a win out this week, potentially next week in a return trip, but i wouldn't wanna rely on that for all of finals.
