Not having both of our blue-chip centre threats is a big deal. Being dangerous down both sides is a big deal for us, we feel it immensely when Braddy is out.

In a team lacking star power, losing one of our genuine ones is painful...
Both?

Not sure what you're asking. Are we saying that Gagai hasn't been our best player this year, and that his combination with Sharpe isn't producing big results? Or that Bradman isn't a threat?

To my eye we've got an incredibly dangerous centre pairing, but maybe I'm missing something.

I think Fred just interpreted your post as Gagai being out on Saturday too.

I was feeling a little confident we might be able to win earlier in the week, but the closer we get realistically I don’t think we get close (FTR I thought this before Best was out but will be harder now - he’s elite in defence and also gives Marzhew confidence).

For a start he largely took care of Herbie last week and not many centres can do that.

I love Best as much as the next guy, but he did have 5 missed tackles (1 off the most in our team) while Herbie ran for 281m and made 11 tackle busts.
