Not just you. Didn't he also say no-one getting dropped next week has any cause for complaint

Could be something to do with the team all having the galloping sh!ts

Good to see Keyes and Jy back. However not really any eye-catching omissions (DFJ injured, presume Wildie has the bug and I expected Gibson to be dropped for Webster anyway) some very fortunate players still wearing a first team shirt. Second hammering within a month and still Kears not really swung the axe. If we go with Ryan at FB and Grant on wing (how they looked at his performance and thought he still deserved a shirt god only knows) I give up.

Big game this and let's see if the players repay Kears loyalty. Pressures on as I think the crowd could get on their case if we suffer yet another defeat to our nearest and dearest.

Any word on when Green might be back?

Think it was said last week he's out for another 9 week

We really have had some rotten luck with injuries this year.

This D&V virus is a pain. Explains why some are missing this week and why some are still in the squad. Kear was cagey about saying who's had it.

I'd imagine that confidentiality possibly comes into it. It's personal medical information when it come down to it, and whilst injuries and so on have traditionally been put in the press, I'm not certain I'd be too happy if my employer had told the world that I'd had the ermmm D&V that's it!

Grant in the reserves so looks like Pickersgill gets another crack at FB with Ryan back on the wing

Good.
