[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 625458, member: 24910"] I don't imagine even the most optimistic of Highlanders fans would consider us as playoff contenders. We will pull off the odd upset, but we don't have the quality in the squad to consistently win against the top sides (even if we don't suffer an injuries). I think it is important to remember that the Blues game was only one game (against a Blues side that looked largely out of sorts), and while many of our starting lineup had a good match few of these players have really proven anything at Super Rugby level in the past. I do see where you are coming from though - if we were playoff contenders a couple of key injuries could derail our chances, but given a much more realistic goal is around 8th-10th I don't think injuries alone will have a big impact on our final standing this season.
