2026 injuries and suspensions

Brown not certain to play this week

Other teams cop it too, but they tend to take turns year to year and have peaks and troughs. Feels like we're just 100% troughs.

Having said that I actually recall last year may have been as close to a peak as we get... and were actually one of the luckier teams injury wise - we just sucked and gave up on the coach too.

I’m pretty sure Ponga, Sharpe, and Lucas all missed half the season which wasn’t great.

Yeah it sucks, I more meant from a raw metric of "number of games missed" across the squad as a whole. I vaguely recall reading that we did pretty good overall last year comapred to others, but I could be wrong. I'm sure if I am someone will pull me up about it.

Legit, if you asked at the start of the season which 5 players do you want to wrap in cotton, it would be ponga, best, Lucas, frizell and brown

you could literally pick any combination of 5 other players from the team and it would be 100x better

Yes our fringe blokes are always made of concrete.

Hopefully we get all our bad injury luck out of the way early in the season and roar into the finals at full strength.
