Injury Updates

[Jodeci]

Good news that Loko is recovering well and is looking to be back on the field during the 2nd half of the season.

Look won't be coming back this year

Rory Brien back in 6 weeks

Peni Terepo ankle is coming along well

A few weeks for Peni

Great news, on both counts. Maybe when Peni is fit, we can move Fui to the second row and have Peni off the bench, and that way we don't lose any thrust up front.

What are the odds of Brien playing centre for us when he's fit? He has to be a better option than Morgan, IMO. I rate Rory Brien.

Oh ok then. I was just going off what I read on the Eels iPhone app.

never believe what you read on an iphone

Fox sports reporting that Poore picked up a serious knee injury in the game

Any ideas if this is true or what happened? I miss the game

May not be a bad thing given his below expected results. Will SK give Shack another chance despite what he has said??

 

[Twizzle]

Hayne seems to be our biggest injury concern

 

[eels81236]

All squad members injured. Gaping holes in their chests where their hearts should be.

Oddly enough everyone except SK can see it.

I thought Poore was ok yesterday, wasn't hard to stand out though in that lot :crazy:

Same size as Morgan only slower.

Brien's strength is his workrate, meaning his future is as a cheap, 80 minute Michael Luck-type toiler in the middle that allows us to spend more money on stars.

Apparently reni has minor damage to his knee and may miss a week

Huh. There you go.

I'd play Morgan on the wing.

id rather burt on the wing than morgan

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Huh. There you go.

I'd play Morgan on the wing.

Why? Wingers make 15+ runs a game (except Luke Burt). Surely you'd rather a winger who runs hard and makes plenty of metres.

Morgan's best asset is his one-on-one defence. He's a backup centre.

Which still isn't much to be desired

Maitua has minor cartilage damage in his knee, and will likely miss a week or two.
