Klemmer news very disappointing. Unfortunately, this is also why it's so crucial to pick up a decent amount of wins earlier in the season before the chaos starts. This section of the season always feels like a massive lottery and the better teams often don't come out the other side in the kind of shape they entered it.

As amazing as 5 wins a row is, we did lost 5 in a row as well, and our place in the top 8 is still precarious imo. A couple of losses now and we're right back in the dogfight.

No Klemmer. No Watson. Ponga a game to game proposition. Pearce to possibly play SOO 2 and 3. Glasby might get called up for an injury. There's reason to be nervous about the next month. I just hope we come out the other side of the Origin period not having to climb another mountain to get back into the 8.

Well, this is Dan's moment. He's seen how it's done now, time to take the reigns for a month or so and get us through it.

For sure. Herman too, this is a big chance for him to step up and show he can have a major impact. Still sucks to lose Klemmer though.

No Watson?

What happened to Lee playing fullback? I wanna see him play there and Watson stick to hooker.

Klemmer out for so long... That's gonna hurt. Then again he would have missed two or three games due to Origin, so probably not all that a big issue.

Maybe it's time for Jacob Saifiti to step up?

What's wrong with Watson?

I tipped us before the Klemmer news, Souths easy now. Pearce can't carry the running metres.

The loss of Klemmer can't be understated. Arguably the best prop in the game. His leadership, confidence and mtrs will be really missed.

Will be interesting to see how our pack responds.

Still think we’ve got a chance but Klemmer is a big blow. Hope the other forwards take the challenge

Hopefully the teams morale is better than mine is after the Klemmer news.

Seriously f**k Origin with scissors. Overrated waste of f**king time.

Still a strong team on paper, just sucks switching positions around yet again due to injuries and origin.

They would have trained there. We still have Mann in the spine and he might come up and hover around 5/8 at times.
I hope Lino doesn't try too hard.
