Team v Panthers- Finals, Week 1

[SpaceMonkey]

He’ll be there in week two and so will we. Roll with it, guys.

 

[Benek]

So disappointing for everyone. My excitement for the game is now totally gone. No chance of winning.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Injuries happen. Chuck your support behind Volkmann, he deserves it.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Ugh, so gutted.

Hang in there brother, we can still win without him but it did get a lot harder.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Why did he fly over with the team?
Just to be ruled out 5mins off the plane?

 

[GongPanther]

Martin is no nuffie and has runs on the board as far as experience is concerned in all facets of the game. The whole team will benefit from this finals experience whether they win, lose or draw, they'll be better for it moving on.

Part of the make up of the squad. Wouldn't look particularly great if he didn't go with them.

We have no field kicking game, TMM cannot kick long, neither can Walker who looks likely to play six because Volkman was not named in the side and he is not with the team either.

This. Would look pretty shit if the left him at home unless flying was a specific issue with his injury

Not being named in the squad is a nothingburger, if they want him there he’ll be there, no way the NRL would block it. But maybe they’ll go with TMM and Walker.

 

[Benek]

Volkman is the only one who can kick. I can’t see Walker and TTM working at all. Nobody to steer the team around. It has to be Volkman.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

He was spose to be there in week 1, week 2 aint no guarantee.

Hope he got to wear some magic leg healing device on the plane!

Volkman cant play. He wasn't named in the extended squad.

 

[Mr Angry]

I have no words.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Volkman cant play. He wasn't named in the extended squad.

An exemption can be applied for, but apparently has not been forthcoming.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Any chance this is devilish deception before the game and he will magically recover before kickoff?

 

[SpaceMonkey]

An exemption can be applied for, but apparently has not been forthcoming.

Did they not apply or was it knocked back? Don’t see why they’d deny it, it’s in the NRLs interest to have teams field the best squads.

 

[Benek]

They didn’t apply for it. Walker is playing #6. Still don’t see where the kicking is coming from. Neither Walker or TMM have much of a long kicking game.
