I think after a night's sleep, I am even more happy to come away with a tie considering all the intangible-type things the team has had to deal with, injuries, road-weariness, surly green goo jerseys, etc.
The bench depth is not as strong it seems. Mullan and Davis were not at their best, but who do you go to on the bench now? Ashe is hurt. Mulrooney is out. Cameron is playing CB, so if you move him up to mid maybe eRob comes in. Or Waibel. Just keep Cochrane on the bench, yikes. And Wade Barrett is no winger. Just need to keep Mullan from getting booked. I guess Danny Cruz is the next option if he's out.
