Morris in doubt for opener!

[Eelementary]

Not to worry:


Hooker: Drew Dalton and Jimmy Storer.

5/8: Marcus Perenara, Jeremy Smith.

Incidentally, what happened to the Pig? I thought he'd be fit for Round 1...

 

[Tyler Durden]

I just heard on the BSB that it's a pectorial muscle injury, and his out indefinetly, the last player I can remember who had that sort of injury there was Luke Davico, and he was out for 6 months...

half and PJ will be relieved that the hair of Johnny Morris is uninjured

the hair is fine, I did hear that there was a scare involving his hair, a dud comb and cheap gel which he bought from a friend,

all is well in that department now.

rolled his ankle at training... latest news was that he should be ready for round 1... i think it's more that someone's speculating that he MAY not be ready

I last heard he was in doubt.

 

[eloquentEEL]

fair enough... haven't heard anything since the original incident anyway and hadn't read any updates around here either... i was just guessing that it was speculation but if you've heard something more concrete, any news on when he's expected back?

I would imagine if he doesn't play round 1 he should be right on round 2, but don't know for sure, John Morris is the one we should be concerned about with his injury god knows when he'll be ready to take the field.

 

[Macquarie Scorpions]

I agree - Mariah will be back soon enough if its not round one then it should be 2 or 3.

Seconds injury is a big blow. Hopefully he isnt out too long.

more importantly, will the injury affect his hair styling technique? :shock: .... surely thats what really matters

 

[eloquentEEL]

I'm sure he'll get his opportunity as well..

hope it's not as bad as that.

tony puletua had one too and was also estimated upto 6 months... doesn't look good if it is a pectoral tear.

One thing the club has is depth & this will give some of the younger guys a go nice 7 early to see if they are up to first grade. I'd rather them have to come in to cover injuries in round 1 than the GF Qualifier.

They should give Jeremy Smith a go ahead of Marcus. Marcus is a good player but not as good as Smith. Delaney is either going to be a centre or a backrower.

And I don't think anybody else is ready. If Morris is out long term it would be better to go with a 5/8 instead of a stopgap option.

I heard earlier that Jeremy Smith was told he would have first crack at the 5/8 spot, now I wonder whether they knew about Morris's injury back then.

 

[eloquentEEL]

As long as they don't go with Wagon at 5/8 again

*shudder*

They should give Jeremy Smith a go ahead of Marcus. Marcus is a good player but not as good as Smith. Delaney is either going to be a centre or a backrower.

they should give it to whoever performs better in the trials and remember Marcus is actually more a five-eight than half.

 

[Eelementary]

:lol:

No, I think Wags' days at 5/8 are past. They probably want him protecting Timmy. Which is a good idea.

Post number 6000 for moi.

 

[PJ Marshal]

omg this is terrible news

our team will look so ugly without him on the field

 

[Stagger eel]

the info I have is the club is hopeful at the very worst he'll be out until round 4.

 

[yy_cheng]

Neither should Widders be at 5/8th. They tried him there last year and he lost his timing (as to when to work his magic) and he tried to do magic pudding stuff on each play.

 

[Jake the snake]

Marcus goes ok but I don't think Marcus has the pace to be a 5/8.

probably not a torn muscle/tendon then. i'll stick by what I previously said about it possibly being a blessing in disguise.
