No doubt it has an effect.

In terms of SOO we were the most affected club but we have been very fortunate with injuries. I saw a post a week or two back from NRL physio page on FB. We have been about the 3rd or 4th least affected teams injury wise.

Other sides have certainly had it a lot worse than us.

Hopefully we can get our best 17 on the paddock when it counts. All the origin experience will be a huge plus this year come finals

It is because no one is getting injured long term. just getting niggling stuff or suspension. So the same guys are coming in and replacing someone that is out. We very rarely have too many out at the same time.

If Cleary is back. Salmon won't play

 

[WestyLife]

If Cleary is back. Salmon won't play

Yeah I can't see it unless he gets limited minutes and you'd assume May on the wing.

 

[franklin2323]

I think this has been lost on just about everyone. We have lost 3 games all year with a disrupted spine and huge State of Origin impact.

We are building form here. Its the right way to go.

We were not primed for the semis last year. Barely got through Easts and Souths and were blown away in the first half of the GF.

I think Ivan is timing our run much better (lessons learnt)

That is the good thing. Players will be fresher this year than last year. Very few sides have 7 Origin guys. 3 of them are spine guys this is good for building depth up

 

[franklin2323]

Yeah I can't see it unless he gets limited minutes and you'd assume May on the wing.

Yeah May will be bench. Question if Cleary is in start him or on the bench. Either way will see Burton to cover injury if needed in the halves/hooker

If thats the 17 ivan has lost the plot.

 

[Girds89]

Ivan wont ever become a great coach or go to another level until he can learn to be ruthless and make tough calls.

Not playing favourites etc.

May needs to start. Smith should be on bench instead of salmon and no momo.

Salmon makes some sense. You can give Nathan 60 minutes without moving anyone else mid game. The rest agreed.

 

[age.s]

Even if Momo plays, you him on the wing outside Crichton surely.

Yep you don't move your best centre

 

[franklin2323]

Yeah we have been fortunate.

Being fortunate and being not disrupted are 2 different things

Take Fullback
Edwards played 14 games
Gutho 20
Teddy 16
Latrell same.
Hynes has been in fullback role since Papenhuyzen was injured. 19 games

5/8th

Luai 17. 4 of those have been 7. So 13 games he played in 6
Burton who is the fill in. Has played more games across the season than Luai but again it is in several positions

Cody Walker 19 games
Foran 18
Munster 16
Dylan Brown 16


Halfback
Cleary 12 games

Jerome Hughes 20 games
Adam Reynolds 19 games
DCE 18 games
Moses 17 games

Hooker
Api 11

Croker 20
Brandon Smith 20
Damien Cook 18
Reed Mahoney 17

When you look at the sides in total maximum 20 games each player

Melbourne

Hynes 19 games
Munster 16
Hughes 20
Smith 20

Souths
Mitchell 14
Walker 19
Reynolds 19
Cook 18

Parra
Gutho 20
Brown 16
Moses 17
Mahoney 17

Manly
Tom Turbo 12
Foran 18
DCE 18
Croker 20

Then you have us
Edwards 14
Luai 17
Cleary 12
Api 11

So tell me again how we haven't been disrupted this whole year?

 

[franklin2323]

Not with Burton in the side. Just get Momo off early. Slide Burton and Cleary into the side. Luai covered hooker in Origin if Kenny gets a HIA or something

Can’t see it.

 

[WestyLife]

What? You just play Burton at centre, drop momo entirely and straight swap Salmon, Cleary after 60 - 65 minutes.

 

[betcats]

Seems like a crazy team tbh, why wouldnt they just have Critta in the centres makes zero sense to have Mom there and critta on the wing, Mom can play wing and defensively Critta is our best centre and works well with Nathan.

 

[Kilkenny]

So is Charlie injured or rested?

Cant see any logic why he would be dropped after playing every game thus far this season. May had a solid debut and is one for the future, not sure this would be the time to bench Charlie even if he hasn’t been great. It’s not as if he can find form in NSW Cup.

I think I’ll wait for the official team announcement before making too many statements but I just dont see the leaked side as being realistic.

Rested he was not mentioned in the injury video Spencer was

 

[betcats]

So is Charlie injured or rested?

Not injured, club put out the injury update today and no mention of Charlie. Only new addition is Spencer who has an ankle injury, expected to miss a couple weeks. Brian looks to be coming along nicely, hopefully can get him back for the finals.
