Three of our better players on the "indefinite" list.
We just can't catch a break.

Which one? ;-)

 

[natheel]

The one on the indefinite list

So Lasalo is expected to return but is not named in any team throughout the Club

 

[Maroubra Eel]

The calf injury sounds interesting.

That's not unusual..

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

The calf injury sounds interesting.

Oakey Dokey.

 

[Chipmunk]

The calf injury sounds interesting.

Not as interesting if it was a lamb injury

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Either one. I meant Benny though.
:lol:

The Round 20 Injury Report is proof that the club has nothing to gain by broadcasting the expected return date for injured key players.

I notice Api is back from injury in the 6. Is he worth a shot at 6 in the NRL for the rest of the season. I dont see any point in playing players who wont be here in 2014 now like Ben Roberts.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

We don't know that they won't be here. RS said words to the effect that the players might change his mind through form over the rest of the season.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We also don't know whether Pewhairangi will be here next year either.

 

[oldmancraigy]

Do we know that we don't know?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Well see, there are known knowns, and known unknowns. But there also unknown unknowns.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Rumsfeld was right. There's difference between risk and uncertainty. Toss a coin....you don't know whether it'll come down head or tails, but you know what the possibilities are. Try to predict what external event will cause G Hock to be suspended for 15 months.....good luck.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I agree Rumsfeld was spot on, but all the commentary on that speech was like a scene from Idiocracy.

Given the form of uncontracted players Ben Roberts and Matt Keating since it was announced, if Ben Roberts and Matt Keating are here in 2014 it will have nothing to do with form. Given that we have signed Norman and Peats and have Sandow and Kelly also committed for 2014 it is doubtful either will be here next year.

We also don't know whether Pewhairangi will be here next year either.

Well he on the list of players signed for 2014 and beyond, so we can only presume from that he will be here next year.
