If this is the worst our situation as a club ever gets then we have it pretty easy I think. I find it hard to be critical of the team when 1/3 of our salary cap (and all of whom are first grade players) is sitting on the bench. I think getting within 12 of the dragons would be a terrific achievement and better than what some full-strength teams have managed so far. At full strength (even with everyone except Hodges) we could be competitive every week, unlike a lot of teams over the years who have had a bottom 4 squad from the word go. At least we know there is light on the horizon with the injured players eventually making their return later in the year, even if it's too late for a finals run.
