I think he is being totally wasted on the wing. He could be a very good centre. Hope he has fully regained his speed this season.

Does anyone have an update on Tsoulos? I think it would be a huge loss if he was outed for an extended period.

look Alex, it's really difficult to say, not only would he need scans to find out the extent of the damage and that would happen after the swelling goes down, however I imagine that the club would not release a media update on him as his not considered a regular firstgrader, you may want to contact the club you self on Wednesday or Thursday to find out.

I'm pretty sure he was walking around without the aid of crutches after the game, but he looked very stiff however that might be due to the ice pack that was taped around his leg inside his trackies.

not being an expert on Physics I'm not really sure whether your able to walk around without crutches after you've just suffered the worst possible knee injury. but I would imagine you'd find it difficult to move around at all if you've just suffered a tear in the anterior cruciate muscel.

Actually mate you've sorta answered my question. I'm no doctor either but if a player suffered a season ending knee injury he wouldn't be walking without any assistance. At least it doesnt sound as bad as i was thinking.

Just on that Flegg centre people were talking about, I only saw the last 10 mins of Flegg and was extremely impressed with him. He was very good. Definately too much to handle for the Raiders.

I think you mean SG Ball, flegg didn't play yesterday.

Two 40/20s, that serious skill. How does B Green fair up in defence?

How did Cordoba play? I think his chances of playong first grade have improved dramatically due to the absence of Vella and the injury to Tsoulos.

Our front row depth is looking a bit shabby now....Vella & Tsoulos both gone

Off of Saturday's form - Zeb Taia, Cordoba, Fui and Weller took the ball forward and I'm sure they wouldn't be out of place in the top grade. Was a bit disappointed with Jack Afa in the first half though he did seem to respond a bit in the second half. Zeb and Fui particularly impressed me - some of Fui's tackles in COVER DEFENCE were particularly good but defensively both hit hard and often.

Was disappointed with Justin's injury as beforehand he was breaking the middle of the ruck on most occassions. At certain times he was taking the ball up two or even three times a set.

As eela mentioned - James Storer - was very impressive. A more solid James Webster who can defend and hit hard as well. He tried a little too hard to impress which lead to a couple of errors but he was quick out of dummy half and gave good service as well.

Unfortunately it is quite possible to walk solo after doing an ACL.

I drove home after doing my (R) ACL.

Hopefully Zorba has not and any damage is minor and we see him back ASAP!! [-o<

I would not judge him on this game as he left early with a broken hand. ObviouslyI did not see how he went last week. If he's anything like his brother... keep him. Maybe half is not his bag. A centre maybe?

It's broken in 2 places and he will find out tomorrow how long he will be out for. :(

6 weeks!

That would have been Kris Inu, excellent prospect.

Haven't actually spoken to him yet but I imagine he would be as well. I mean the season hasn't even really started yet! The poor bugger. :(
