Injury Updates

[I'm a loser baby...]

I remember a few years ago some club got some kind of cap relief because a player missed the majority of the season. Have they changed the rules or was it misreported at the time?

 

[84 Baby]

FFS you don't get cap relief for injury! That's what your 35+ man squad is for.

It does if we sign Hayne to 2nd tier contract

 

[Chipmunk]

Takarangi is out for 4 weeks, which is essentially just two games though...

I'd probably hang on to Gordon until after the Souths match.

Anyway, I don't know why we didn't see this coming - everything else has gone to shit.

The NRL will not allow The Plane to sign a second tier deal (with any club). He will be on a club's books for at least $400-500k for the remainder of 2016.

What if we just contract him for the finals?

Go ask the NRL mate

 

[Djay]

It's official we are cursed.

 

[Oscarman]

Go ask the NRL mate

Well they will be letting us play then?

 

[Chipmunk]

So who plays in the halves in 2 weeks?

Foran, Taka, Kelly, Cornish all out

Maybe we do need to make a play for Hastings..

He's a left field option for us for the remainder of the season, what about Jeff Robson on an 18 month deal, with 2017 being a second tier deal?

 

[Gronk]

Foz actually has two injuries.

James Hooper ‏@jimmyhooper 12m12 minutes ago
LATEST: @TheParraEels captain Kieran Foran has also torn a bicep tendon and will have surgery on this & his shoulder.

 

[eel01s]

You couldn't write this stuff.

Wonder if the shoulder is a cover story? If so, we should be getting some of our contract money back FFS.

Edit: just saw post above. But still.....

I'm trying to remember back to 1986 after we won the GF that year.... Was there a ceremonial mass breaking breaking of mirrors performed by the club that has rendered us cursed with bad luck for eternity??

I know we burnt down Cumbelrand Oval when we won in 1981, so who knows what happened after we won in 86!

Maybe the new stadium is built over an ancient burial ground ?

We need Father Merrin to perform an exorcism ASAP.

Any news on Pritchard ?

Any news on Pritchard ?

I heard we are optimistic that he will be good for the game against Cronulla. Added to that are the club's pictures from yesterday where he was up North fishing with Beau Scott and didn't have any strapping on his shoulder.

Didn't they say it was just a stinger? no real injury there? we were looking during the game, but there were conflicting reports...

Am I the only one who thinks that Kaysa is too small and fragile to play NRL ? He really needs to build some muscle to protect those shoulders/neck. Hopefully he can overcome this in the off season cos at the moment he looks like a a boy playing with men.

I don't think he is that small compared to most NRL hookers, he is pretty much the same size as the average NRL hooker. He is 88kg.

It's probably he kamkiaze tackling style, just needs to calm down a bit.

I reckon he has a huge future.
