Boozers in a world of trouble from here. Ridley Buckley silvagni and McGovern all out in defence. And with the loss of touk miller and struggles all year with the forward line, gonna be a hard task to continue this winning streak.
Every team has a decent player out at this time of the season @leematty1 (Miller) but I am not sure how losing your D5-D8 is a massive loss when those replacing them on the IC have averages in the low 70's.
Haha they aren’t my D5-8 when I was playing them in my mids. I only have 4 playing defs on the assumption that Zorko plays. That’s why I’m in trouble. And with 12+ players out, not a good spot to be in come the finals when I don’t have enough players to even have 4 playing emergencies. Not much room for error now
18 is the same as the 29ers are likely to field, a lot of squads struggle to roll out a full 15, welcome to the reality that the rest of us deal with most of the time
Yeah maybe but not the top teams. Think the other top 4 teams all had 23-24 playing. So Boozers definitely up against it against the top 4.
