Shaun berrigan

[the kirwan kid]

Does anybody know if he is injured? Seemed odd he wasn't in the warriors grand final side.

 

[user_nat]

He is playing in the NSW cup GF. Cleary probably doesn't want to mess with a winning side.

edit: Just had a look at the team lists, not in the Vulcans side. Maybe he is injured.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Is he eligible for the vulcans? Played any previous semi's for them as you need a certain % of games played in the season to be allowed don't you?

If the first grade side is participating, I think it is free for all for vulcan selection. Fair enough too. Mr Berrigan has played in a few grand finals.

He played for them last week. link

 

[Big Pete]

I heard he pulled out last week.

 

[user_nat]

Fair enough. He isn't listed as an injured player for this weeks GF, but that doesn't mean much.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

He has a clause in his contract that activates a second year in his favour if he plays 20 games this season.

He has played 19.

Tha has nothing to do with it. Berrigan has said a couple of times publically that if he got the 20th game he would not demand for that clause to be activated. It'd be a new contract or nothing. I understand he's looking at the Raiders for 2012.

It all comes down to injury, he was fitting in well with Joel Moon in the centres before both got injured.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Just coincidence then...

Kirk V1.2.
Not that i blame the warriors they are going gangbusters without him, and quite frankly, id love to see him at the raiders. Good for both parties

Not sure about Shaun though! :lol:

 

[Iafeta]

I'd be happy enough if he stayed TBH. He holds the edge together quite well. I thought Bill Tupou learned a lot defensively playing outside of Shaun.

Summed up why id love to see him at the raiders. Our inexperienced outside backs could learn a lot him, not only defensively but Croker and Thompson need a crash course in how to set up their outside man. Fergo is being wasted outside these guys at the moment

He's had a hip flexor injury.

Berrigan, who was considered by Warriors coach Ivan Cleary for a start in the NRL clash against the Storm over night, has been sidelined by on-going concerns with his hip, while Seymour took an elbow to the face during training this week, cracking a tooth.
