Mann has been cleared of ligament damage too

And named in the 17!

 

[Jono078]

Wow! Did not see that news coming.

I just hope we don't risk any of them needlessly in Round 2. If they're 100% on game day, then by all means... but if there's a hint of a niggle still there, given the point in the season, I'd say why risk it?

This did cross my mind.. You just get the feeling they wont be 100%, will get injured again and that will hurt us in round 2.

I'd rather they take the week off if there is the slightest amount of doubt.

I'd rest Best and Mann. Not worth the risk.

Injury and recovery report. Mann, Best, Watson and Green. No mention of Ponga.
Green is back in training and the guy seems excited with his progress.

No big loss. We should end up on the right end of the 6 again count for those three weeks

If Mann isn't OK we use Watson. He went to 6 this week.

Sasagi any chance?

Sasagi any chance?

Has he shown any promise? I'd say a bit raw.
O'Brien praised Watson and said he wasn't sure where to play him so I reckon he'd be a step ahead.

Just by OBi's first press conference he said he was good. I just like the balance of the team with having Watson on the bench.

 

[PhilGould]

Mann will slot straight back in. Think we'll see Sasagi get a run off the bench soon though

 

[Mr_Knightside]

I’d prefer Mann at 6 and Watson at 13 or on the bench.

I thought I saw half our team go down injured on the weekend, do we have any updates?
