I don't recall it being that long. They missed Naitanui, sure, but the rest of their squad was available most weeks. I thought 2012 was more injury afflicted for them, which is why many assumed they'd be premiers in 2013.The Eagles had a pretty long injury list last year and a stale coach on the way out.
IIRC they fielded some of the oldest and most experienced teams in their history last year.
