Peterson and Dykes to never play again.

Just looking through the stats from Fridays game

Looking at those Stats the forward pack did it tough without Hindmarsh, Cayless and Cannings. That is $800000+ of forward power not playing, which obviously is going to make a huge difference. I rate Cayless as good as Hindmarsh and i think once Cayless and Cannings return with hopefully these young players performing then watch out!

Pazza that is a good point but I don't rate Cayless on par with Hindmarsh. As good as Caylo is, he's far too inconsistent. How many times does Hindy drop the ball for us at a critical time or give away a penalty when we've got the opposition pinned in their own 30? Never. This can't be said for Caylo, as good as he is, he ain't no Hindmarsh.

Back to your point though. It will be something special when we have all 3 big guns on the park at the same time. Fingers crossed Thorman & Witt can strike up some form over the next few weeks and then when Cannings & Cayless return it could make the run home to the finals very interesting indeed. I just hope we don't leave our run home too late like we did last year...
