Mighty Panthers V Parramatta

[The Realist]

Injuries happen in origin but what should not have happened was that he was left out there in a game well won .

It was clear 15 minutes into the 2nd half the game was won. I have no idea why we didn't just throw Wighton out there TBH.

 

[Smug Panther]

If Staines does get a shot (This will go against everything that Ivan is as a coach) Dylan might not get his spot back

Why have a game 3?A dead rubber and meaningless. I don't want to see anyone injured. It takes away from the game.

Origin should be at season end. Most people don't give a shit about it anymore anyhows

 

[Black Diamond]

Edwards is gone again.

Not sure they move Crichton and Burton from centre.

Staines will get his shot back there. Naden to the wing ( Because Jennings is injuried)

Momo is still got a stuffed hip. So Tago is left

Like with always injuries will force Ivan's hand

What's the go with Edwards?

 

[martielang]

Sounds like some big changes… I’d play Momo at centre (if not injured) and leave Tago on the bench much to the delight of Smuggy.

 

[franklin2323]

What's the go with Edwards?

Hammy. Came back too early last time

 

[The_Frog]

I don't wanna see May in the halves

I doubt you've got much to worry about there.

 

[The_Frog]

There is no way Cleary gets surgery right now. Rehab will get tried 1st it is what they all do

Is this the injury Yeo had a couple of years back? He got through the season but wasn't the same.

No idea why Crichton wouldn't play fullback.

So Cleary, Edwards, Momo and Jennings injured?

Staines, Naden, Crichton, Tago, To'o, Luai, Burton.

Ugly, and that's the best I can hope.

Yeah that is it. Very common.

He wasn't but this is when everyone will realise how good Luai really is. If he covers the 20% drop from Cleary. Get Burton used more and Cleary can just do it from behind

That is the backline I was told. Was depending on how well Edwards trained today.

Momo will be named but hip still isn't right

Injuries can happen any time but to lose a player that didn't play for your club at the time sucks.
I would have it at the end of the season. Money men say no.

 

[franklin2323]

No idea why Crichton wouldn't play fullback.

Because then you are moving both centres. Slotting Naden in is easier

 

[franklin2323]

Staines will be like Crichton was needs time there.

When is Edwards expected to return

 

[Alintheeast]

Anybody know if Flegg and reserves are being played Friday. It was going to be a cracker of afternoon and evening three great games played before a semi packed stadium.

 

[murraymob]

There saying injury way worse than first thought defiantly not good to hear

No Lower grades until NRL go out of Level 4 restrictions.

Is this the injury Yeo had a couple of years back? He got through the season but wasn't the same.

Yeo was also playing centre with it. He did a pretty decent job considering he was asked to play centre with a busted shoulder and had suffered multiple head knocks earlier in the season. He couldn't stay fit whatsoever. But his form was at a point where people said he wasn't first grade standard while to me it just showed how tough he is and how willing he is to put his body on the line for this team.

I think Cleary would be better prepared to play with the injury considering his job would be the same as it has been and he has proven he is tough aswell. He would only be at about 90% of his ability probably, with his defence likely suffering more than his attacking ability. Which would just make him closer to a normal half defensively. He missed less tackles and made more tackles than Cam Munster did in Origin 2 despite playing with the shoulder injury. Pretty impressive at the highest level to defend aswell as he did with one good arm. If he played like that for us it would be more than enough, and realistically if he's rehabbing it before returning his arm should be less of an issue than it was in Origin 2.
