Cotch wants to go full bore. They had to hold him back when he was coming back from the ankle and slight achilles. He understands more about the intensity you need to play at this level than many of his senior teammates

Losing Thursty is a big loss. We're starting to get injuries to key players which will test our lack of depth.
I hate to say it, what depth? Honestly, we could play any of 32-35 players on our list and get the same result. We basically don't have any true "key" players. Injuries would've made little difference to our results in the past 2 weeks. We may've lost by an extra 20 or 30 points in either game but what difference does it make.
We had injuries as as excuse last year - to some extent. Not this week, not last week. Sad isn't it.
