Now for some more #CAM356!! One of these merkins better give us some credit.

Lockyer just said #cam356 has only missed 6 games through injury his entire career .... freaky

But King, 25, managed to finish the game.

While it took a few minutes for the feeling to return, King is hopeful the nerve damage suffered won’t keep him from taking the field in next week’s must win finals match.

“It was pretty painful straight away so you think the worst,” he said.

“I just had to take a couple of deep breaths and try and get a bit of feeling back and finish the game which is a positive sign.”

With an ice pack covering the entire left forearm, the wound has swelled post-match and King went for scans in Sydney on Sunday morning.

But even after the scare, the rake was in good spirits.

Asked if he was confident of kitting up for their do or die clash next week he said; “I think so.

“As long as it’s just the nerve, hopefully the swelling settles down in a couple of days and I’ll be all right.

It’s Moeroa’s second failed HIA in a number of weeks and will need to complete several tests in order to take the field next week.It’s Moeroa’s second failed HIA in a number of weeks and will need to complete several tests in order to take the field next week.

Lockyer backing us up slightly. Think he had a little dig at Cronk too

So does anyone know which night the prelim will be on when we beat either the sharks/cowboys next weekend?

Will we be beating the Roosters at Allianz on the Friday or Saturday night?

Problem was the Mau one was so obvious (after Slater's Oscar winning performance) that even the touchie could see it.

The same touchie who saw the forward pass and was ignored for Scums first try and agreed that of course the pass for Semis try was back

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Lockyer is looking a lot like Sonny from I, Robot.

I thought the touchies went ok ... the blonde guy who reffed nrl a bit a while back has always been a good touchie ... and the dude with the beard seems to go ok

Probably depends entirely on whether the broncos win

Theres a plan for him to retire in 9 games to coincide with the start of Fox's new rugby league channel #CAM365

i always blow up at the touchies for missing shit it never occurred to me that they were reporting it and being ignored

we need a rule that if a touchie brings something up and is proven correct then they referee the next game and the ref runs the sideline

 

[84 Baby]

I don't think it actually matters. I'm fairly certain the NRL at least try to keep the scheduling consistent so we're on Saturday side of draw now

But what happens when they all get it wrong a la Kennys knock on?

bring up the refs from reggies and drop them

 

[isaiah]

I generally feel a bit sorry for the touchies - they cop it deluxe from the crowd and yeah they probably have little say in things

I would love for one to turn around to the crowd one time and, "f**kin oath! ... I keep telling him but the prick in pink keeps ignoring me!"

So if it ends up melbourne v panthers and there is a AFL game on the friday night in melbourne, do you reckon they will play it on friday?

 

[hineyrulz]

Alvaro also wasn't looking, may save him.

Did I just see right that the chicken wing wasn't even put on report??

Of course, was way worse than what Mau did.

But Mau plays for us.

 

[strider]

I dont think the chicken wing was bad ... i dont think mau's choke was bad ... alvaro's elbow was nothing

But i bet mau will get a grade 1 for the highshot despite the player being low ... and priors will come into play
