There's no doubt about that.
I think when you go down into the depth, it becomes... And like most teams, if you lose 8, 10, 12 players for a quarterfinal of a URC, most squads will be...
very much so.
So that's the mitigation at the weekend.
But the overall inconsistency hasn't been there.

And it's very difficult then for staff and people because aside from the financial pressures and the redundancies that were requested...
you know, if you go on kind of struggling and the crowds come down a little bit, it'll start to affect the club more and more and more and more and more people.
