4 Nations Injury Watch: Foran out for season, NZ done?

[adamkungl]

Would hardly be a Tier 2 without the grandparent rule.

Nonsense.

Nation swapping is the least of international rugby leagues problems. First thing that needs to be done is locking in finally a 4 year cycle of fixtures. Keep on messing with the calendar and we'll keep on having these current problems.

Nation swapping is a symptom of the lack of games but also a problem in itself.

Anyway hopefully the calendar problem is solved in the next year

Anyway back to injuries...


Josh hodgson didn't look too clever yesterday,hopefully its just a strain that'll be ok after 2-3week rest..bad for canberra sadly cos they need him, but good for england..

Kane linnett,who's put his hand up for scotland again,is having a scan on his calf apparently

Latest on Hodgson is he may not play again this year. I could see Stuart ruling him out for England even if he wanted to play.

Lucky for England is their depth at hooker. Who would be second choice? Clarke or Roby?

 

[roughyedspud]

All 3 would have been selected in the squad i reckon..

But without josh,roby would start and clarke on the bench..



Aussie injury watch...brett morris only has one leg at the min,looks like hes done a knee

 

[adamkungl]

Houghton up to it?

 

[roughyedspud]

Nah...hes a club hooker,hes only looking good cos hull have monster forwards

 

[roughyedspud]

no worries...stick some kid called sam burgess at 13

 

[Burns]

Is he even that big a loss?

 

[roughyedspud]

Nope not really

 

[roughyedspud]

Has anyone seen any odds for the 4 nations yet??

None of the uk bookies have put the markets up yet..

Can place a bet on next years world cup but not next months 4nations...wtf?

 

[Burns]

They probably want to wait to see how the Finals in SL/NRL play out, who gets injured etc.

Is there much happening over there in regard to the tournament at all? England RL has been putting out some videos past couple of days featuring the 'star' players which is good, but not sure how tickets are going at all.

 

[roughyedspud]

i either read it or dreamt it...but i think i saw 50% of the tickets have been sold??

think that works out about 80-90k tickets sold?

 

[Burns]

That sounds .... really good? Haha. If England car jar a win straight up against NZ will put ticket sales in motion for London.

 

[roughyedspud]

i can only go the final,ordered my ticket last week...and i can't find anything about 50% so i probably did dream it lol

 

[roughyedspud]

josh hodgson has been cleared to play for canberra tomorrow btw

 

[roughyedspud]

Heres a question...do nz select this kayln ponga kid purely on the basis it locks him into nz....think i would

 

[geordie_saint]

i can only go the final,ordered my ticket last week...and i can't find anything about 50% so i probably did dream it lol

I think you probably did as more than half the seats at OP and Anfield aren't even available to buy yet.

 

[roughyedspud]

I have exciting dreams me lol

 

[Burns]

Thurston looks a bit groggy tonight

 

[roughyedspud]

Looks f**ked doesn't he
