We are bound to struggle without our main playmaker and on top of that we have lost a top player in Newton. Since Newton has been out we have really struggled to contain sides out on the side of the field he plays in, its no coincidence IMO, add to that Vella and I am not suprised we lost to Hudds, in fact it was one game I had down as a loss when the fixtures came out.
I was disappointed in the last 10 mins though, if we had not let those last three tries in I would have left sad to have lost (as I am in any game), but happy in containing them.
Totally agree we had them looking at 16 to 22 but giants are a top team the scoreline flattered them, but when they needed to step up that extra gear they did it and finished us of, I have no doubt that when we get our players back we will come good, at this point in time I would say were missing Newton more than we thought he is a tackling machine, and I am sure once the warm weather comes we will see a different rovers side.
