Poor Juniors chest is being held together by sticky tape, pray for junior!!

Would you prefer he just walk off like Hayne ?

 

[Gronk]

I see sanity prevailed for once. Sivo not charged.

Robbo even said he was unlucky.

Maybe he sick of defending Teddy sliding into the tackles and getting himself KO.

 

[Bandwagon]

Shouldn't have even been a penalty, live it looked like falling into Sivo's legs is what did the damage, and short of not attempting the tackle at all I don't know what else he coulda done.

FoxSports say Hi. Lucky to stay on field. Escapes ban. Agree with your sliding comment.

When your coach’s whole mantra is front load your efforts and chase the collision, that’s exactly what you do. The problem is that if you execute that plan, it’s to the detriment of the rest of the game.

And to the detriment of each individual player's progress.

Shit, that means he likely plays next week...

Well Waqa wasn’t too bad, however poor Dunster picked up a loose ball and ran the length of the field (not) only to get caught by everyone in about 40m.

Jirah had a good game in the centres …..

 

[JokerEel]

Sounds like a guy with a sternum or rib cartilage injury playing needled.

I doubt it especially if he is boxing at the end of the season

Maybe they aren’t allowed to hit him in the sternum???

 

[strider]

Junior has played with that chest padding thing for literally 4 years+

He should have his mum jump in the ring and tell the other boxer off if he punches Barlow on the chest..

Barlow and Chris Buttler probably shop at the same chest padding shop

Looking forward to your analysis of the amount of padding being applied to his chest over that period.

 

[Noise]

Maybe. Lots of padding on that chest.

Agreed. I saw him on the right as well and watched Reg Hoppy Carty ruck it up, whilst Offa and Jnr were very ginger. Jnr had more padding on the chest than the michelin man.

Junior has always played with shitloads of chest padding.

Gotta hope he dosent get punched in the chest I suppose.

 

[IFR33K]

must be heavy duty tape

 

[Gronk]

It seems that the preferred position here is that Jnr is an overpriced hack who has forgotten how to play and is stealing a living.

Is that better ?

I think the preferred position here is that Junior has had a poor season that hasn’t lived up to his price tag / potential.
Much more realistic than you assuming he’s needling up every week.
