Round 22 Vs Dragons

Spencer definitely pulled up injured after a tackle in the first half but yep I was expecting a lot more out of him this year but he is only 20. If we look at a guy like Fish it took him years to develop into a dominant middle so I probably need to temper my expectations a little for Spencer, it is such a physical position he is playing in.
Serious question, but what do people want to see out of Spencer in terms of development? Is it more minutes? Get rid of the small error? He looks pretty impactful when he comes on. For me, that has been Leota’s development; largely got rid of the once (or more a game) brain explosion and playing more minutes.

As I said, not trying to question people’s views but like to understand what others would like to see.

For me its just sustaining that impact for an extended period. He definitely has had impact plenty of times but at other times he just looks like he is struggling to keep up a bit.

I

have seen the video rewatched the game.Api will get off. JWH pushes him he pushes back a rooster player grabs the back of the jersey throws him to the ground he does not retaliate that’s it .Not even worth going on report

I wouldn't be so sure. Common sense is a rare thing on the judiciary panel.

No Nathan, and I was hoping that Taylan May would be given another go.

Disappointing, but plenty of potential changes possible. Wouldn't be surprised to see any of the 18-21 end up playing.

Would love to see Tago and Critta in the centres assuming Nathan doesnt play. We know Mom can come in and do a job for us if needed, would be good to see what Tago can offer considering he really hasnt put a foot wrong yet

There is no way the Tuesday team runs out that way 1-17 Friday night.

I think Nathan Cleary in, Burton back to centre, Mom out, May for Naden, Tago on bench, along with TPJ

It will be fascinating how it ends up being.

Yes thank goodness. He will be Fresh, willing and VERY scary. 🤣
Two weeks in a room with a baby and a toddler... I am sure he will be willing to do anything to get out of there so will be ripping in, but he will be anything but fresh...

Having done 2 weeks quarantine myself a few weeks ago I would actually ease him in. The body becomes stiff because you aren’t moving as much as normal. Having said that, I know someone posted on here that they had got him a lot of equipment (and importantly a treadmill) so maybe he will come out less impacted than us mere mortals. Would hate for him to come out and have a soft tissue issue just to get back on the field quicker.

Know the club were very aware of this remember Staines last year when he went to hospital, sustained a hammy injury. I think Fish's partner is training to be a physio too.....so that would help. He's also a bit of a gym junkie. Can see him off the bench first game. May do the same with Nathan also.
