Injury Updates

[hineyrulz]

Scott's leadership is obviously massive but I'm not sure he's in our best 17 any more. I guess he's a better defender than Matagi and Vave, but they are both quite important to our attack.

Fair call Pou, Vave and Matagi were excellent last night.

Yep that team last night with Tep rather than Tank is our best 17.

 

[Happy MEel]

I reckon Scott comes in for Matagi in the finals if fit with a bench of Alvaro, Kenny, Scott and Peni. That's enough go forward with Vave, Mannah, Brown and Tep in the middle.

Finals are built on defence and with such a young side with limited finals experience, Scott's leadership will be crucial.

 

[Incorrect]

I'd say Kritchard is at absolute best a <5% of getting back this year. I think it'd be silly to have him in the 17 in a finals match.

Scott I'd be a bit more optimistic about.

 

[Twizzle]

I thought I had wandered into the injury thread

Silly me

 

[emjaycee]

How many times did we go into a game Kaysa played with four bench forwards?

13 times this year.
Until The Fresh Prince made his club debut in Round 9.

Or were you just joking?
In which case we haven't gone into a game that Kaysa played with four bench forwards since 1986.

Jack Gibson used to say when he had big name players coming back and was asked how he was going to fit them in
"well the bloke playing in the first team has to give me a reason not to pick him"

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Not joking. Pou said 11. Maybe you can sort it out with fisticuffs.

I only said 13 because Pou said 11.
Have to give him something to argue about.

 

[84 Baby]

Pou probably said 11 knowing it was wrong just so someone could argue

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Let's split the difference, and go with 11.

 

[hindy111]

Well Tepai needs to keep firing!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Last night proved we're better off without him.

But then if he plays next week and we win it'll prove we're better off with him. Some merkins around here take the whole you're-only-as-good-as-your-last-game mantra literally.

Does that mean we're better off without Gutho as well?

I guess he can go back to Sportsgirl then.

Where better off with French not on the wing. So maybe???

Seen Frictchard today, and he said Kaysa is a fair chance for the finals. Won't have surgery till eels are out.

How is it possible to play with a torn ACL? OR isn't it an ACL?

Wasn't Kaysa a posterior cruciate ligament and lateral-collateral ligament injury?

I think it was PCL and something else, not ACL.

There you go, Forty with the right info as usual

 

[IFR33K]

Oh ok. Thanks guys. Was always under the impression it was ACL.
