Injuries and suspensions 2020

[NoSchitSherlock]

I'm so looking forward to DSaf and Best being back.
Our first half against the Sharks was made for Best.
Our bench is doing great but that extra push from DSaf will be a big bonus.

We could nearly make a team out of that. It shows how much we are relying on a full squad.

and just how well we've done to be where we are without them.

Exciting times ahead

Most of them are coming back just before the finals. Lucky coincidence? I think not. It's our destiny to win the competition this year.

It's our destiny to get bundled out week 1 haha. Anything more is a successful 1st year for the coach.

Not so sure about that. Ponga on his day has managed to tear apart the Raiders, Souffs and Sharps on his own individual brilliance, and he could do it again.

Where we will fall is against the current top 4, of which 3 of them are in a completely different universe to us.

Kurt Mann set to miss the next game due to suspension.

In a way I'm glad just for this gives Randall a good opportunity.

For what?

Crusher on Morris.

Crusher on Morris.

Is that the one that wasn’t even penalised?
Good to give home a break anyway I guess.

I still don't understand how it's possible to put pressure on the head and neck of a player when said player HAS NO NECK

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Glasby says a lot re his concussion and retirement in this week's press conference. Worth listening to.

Apparently Fitzy picked up a bit of a groin injury and likely won't play against Titans

 

[ryana87]

Silly question

If, through some amazing chain of events, we make the GF........ Would Brailey be back from ACL recovery..... That.... End of October is about 8-9months from round 2......or am I being crazy

 

[slotmachine]

He might be medically cleared for full contact but you're not dropping him back in that underdone to the GF.

If we make the GF our hooker has presumably been going well enough to beat the Roosters or the Storm in the prelim.

Ponga carrying a shoulder injury. Needs surgery and probably misses out on Origin.
Up to 4 months recovery.

[mozza91]

Get surgery ASAP. We’re not paying him big money to potentially miss the early rounds next year for that Origin shit.

 

[Knight Vision]

f**k origin he needs to be fit and ready for the Knights. QLD arent going to win the series anyway.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Ponga injury timeline. We start with another fullback it seems.
