It's pretty rare that we take two travelling emergencies. Add to that the fact that EP had a bye last weekend depriving those outside the 22 of both a chance to press for selection and game time to find touch early in the season and it's clear there must be significant doubts over the fitness of at least one player
Given that both emergencies are normally defenders it suggests the doubts are over a back six player rather than a mid. Jetta wasn't sighted at the airport so I'm calling Watson as a late in with Simpsons comments suggesting no debut player nothing more than a red herring
I also said hutchings wouldn't replace DV so take the above with a grain of salt
They may be thinking about shifting Duggan into the midfield and bringing in a defender. They could cover Shuey that way.
Hopefully no late changes are needed though.
