Pebbles - mechanism of injury

[Frenzy.]

Graphic.

He's pharqued.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Bad for him. Ok for me. Like I’m not shattered.

 

[Frenzy.]

That's a lotta ice over his lateral malleolus.

 

[glenmoresharkie]

Poor lad. Looks like a bad injury

 

[Cheese sandwich]

That looks like an arthritic future for that joint. Poor bloke

Ozzie I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea in this forum and he’s made plenty of mistakes in his first full season of First Grade. But he has played really well at times too.

I’m sorry to see him injured with a major injury. Stability in our backline is particularly important and now we go looking for our 4th string winger because Katoa, Stonestreet & Hiroti have long term injuries.

The worrying thing is there is no obvious replacement now.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Yea he has been ok. It’s just for me he isn’t a critical cog in the wheel. Like if Brailey got injured I reckon we are dead set fecked.

Right side went just fine when ramien and sam went down.
Just fine.
As many have said on here we are a better side when Sifa plays.
Tougher.
More direct.
More points.

A couple sweet touches.

Does Atko score those 2 tries with ramien there, catching the ball and stepping off the right, off the right, off the right and off the right again?

The Ramien Continuum?

The Ramien Continuum?

...From east to west

And yet watch him being reverted to 20 minute cameos once there are no in-game injuries to deal with.

What are we thinking for line up next week?

1. WK
2. Vaela (left wing)
3. Iro (left centre)
4. Sifa
5. Ronnie

Im not too familiar with vaela (?sp) can he play wing. Has been in the 18 or 19 most weeks so figured he could fill the spot for a week pre bye then re-assess

 

[Quicksilver]

Does Dom Young want six months and a premiership?

Question has been asked. The forum
Didn’t like it. I’d take him still.

Guessing it's Vealia or Gabrael. Haven't seen either of them play but always like seeing if a debutant is up to it. Can remember when Feki debuted, he had his shortcomings but never looked back.

I missed that.

I'd take it to fill the gap.

Gabrael didn't play this weekend. Not sure why. I have a feeling it was concussion protocols.

Vea'ila has been out of sorts in a struggling Jets. Could be the type who needs better company around him. Dixon can't defuse consistently. Wouldn't use him either side Tupou and Marky Mark the wingers for the Roosters.

Unsure of shaggs proposal because of how disruptive it potentially is but I'd use the same 5 guys

1. WK
2. Vaela (left wing)
3. Iro (left centre)
4. Sifa
5. Ronnie

I think swapping Iro and Sifa is history hunting. Looking for the good old days. It's not needed as Iro and Ronnie are arguably just as lethal.

Sifa showed he can handle the right side and his flick to Atkinson showed this. My second choice as I'd leave them all alone is to bring up Vea'ila as right winger because he's been playing right centre all year and has played wing in trials for the NRL side. I think he gets better, eventually, with a rise in class.

As they say in the classic. Don't weaken a strength to strengthen a weakness. Left side edge is a najor strength.

My third choice would be Eli Clark. Would be funny too, he's an angry little mongrel. Lot of the bulldog in him.

First choice is Gabrael.

TTF trumps them all if he's half fit like some of the others are.

Only if the Roosters pay him. It's not budgeted for money to bring a guy in mid year.

 

[sladden road]

f**k yes

 

[Craigshark]

Can see

1. Kennedy
2. Atkinson
3. Ramien (Talakai)
4. Iro
5. Ronaldo
