Loss of Keithy

[BrotherJim05]

I know that we will know by end of tomorrow but I am very worried about losing Big Keithy for 6 wks - 6 months. Our forward pack are already under alot of pressure and losing him will be devastating. Let's just say it was for 6 months, that would be the season. How would we recover from this?

I hope to god its nothing major. Please keep us updated if you hear anything.

I think he is a gun player. I hope he isn't out.

 

[Tommy Smith]

6 months according to Foxsports.

Torn pectoral.

 

[The Charlatan]

f**k me, we can't seem to take a trick with injuries...

Big Keith was playing his best football ive seen him play so its a real pity. Whats worse is no real replacement for him . Hope we are still in the market for a player who wants out from another club.

Pettybourne will be playing bench prop and we will have to promote someone until Bodenes suspension finishes.

Just as long as Utai stays elsewhere

 

[hybrid_tiger]

We are in big trouble if he's gone for the year.

Buchanan is going to have to step up in a 2012 Woods like way now

 

[Magpies Forever]

I regard prop as probably the most physically demanding position in the team but man, Galloway sure gets injured a lot. A lot more than most other props of comparable experience (well, at least seems that way).

Maybe push Blair up into the front row for short stints to make him work and make more use of Bell?

 

[Perth Tiger]

Massive loss for us, poor old Keithy just can't take a trick with injuries.

Buchanan looks like he will be effective fro us and it creates a big chance for either Groat or Gavet to cement a first grade spot when they come back from their injuries.

But if Woods goes down aswell we are f**ked

Just as long as Utai stays elsewhere

When does Bodene's suspension finish?

I'm looking forward to seeing him getting out there and smashing them!

 

[gronkathon]

Available to play in Round 5

 

[BrotherJim05]

Why are they moving Pettyborne to bench prop? I've never seen him play in the front row for previous teams.....this smells of sheens but I'm probably wrong

 

[gronkathon]

He played some bench prop for the Bunnies and he does the job. Not something you would ant to plan on but with our injury toll he could well be invaluable

 

[The Charlatan]

I'd rather Blair at prop, and Pettybourne out wide. It would force Blair to run the ball a bit more.

Anasta to lock instead of hiding on the edges.

 

[Magpie Tragic]

Just heard on the radio he's gone for 3-4 months....ouch

 

[benched tiger]

Keith just seems to be one of those players that soon as he hits a bit of form an injury occurs !

 

[hybrid_tiger]

His contract is up this year I believe. I'd probably re-sign him, but gee he is injury prone, isn't he?

Thing with the pectoral is that it's a very unlucky injury. We just can't take a trick.

We really need to buy some props. I think we are going to struggle big time without KG. Our win/loss record without him is absolutely abysmal.

I like Buchanan but he is still very raw and can't adequately replace Galloway.

We are in trouble.

 

[Matchball]

Call Cashy up again.

Im not sure we should rush to re-sign him. Check who is available for next season and compare. Galloway is very injury prone and despite good form he seems to be absent for around 40-50% of a season. Not really good enough for a central pillar to build a team around. He is a good player but.......
