Its always an interesting exercise to imagine the opposition with equivalent players out when you hit an injury crisis (including suspensions). Tends to put your own team into perspective.
It does. Like how London were down to just 17 available players and had five fewer internationals on the field than we did, yet they beat us. Or how Hull KR have such an injury and form crisis that they have conceded 178 points in their last three games against other sides, yet we managed just 14 and 18 against them and they too beat us convincingly (twice).
Seriously, the injury 'crisis' isn't a good enough excuse. There are more than enough senior players on the field to be winning games against the likes of London and Hull KR. It wasn't any injury crisis that left the team with no halfbacks and incredibly poor prop forwards, it was the board of Directors.
