The Jax Ferris issue

[Frenzy.]

What's his injury.

I'm certainly hoping it's a cork and have a hunch it is. He looked OK after the game.

I reckon he went good as well. He's got that chunky little build we see in so many Kiwi centres that turn out to be so good by about 24-25 years all. Your Willie Talaus, Tim Lafai's, Dean Whare types. Types who become real good defenders, have great evasion and a lot of strength through the glutes and thighs.

Riccio tweeted that testing showed there was no ACL issue. Getting scans done today

Riccio tweeted that testing showed there was no ACL issue. Scans to come

That's good. Was not the right mechanism of injury for ACL anyway. Looked like a contact injury with no shift, twist or otherwise unnatural knee movement

 

[shaggs]

No ACL hey. That’s good news.

The issue is we need him the team, who misses out?

If all fit, except Moylan, Kennedy is out.
Dugan
Katoa
Ramien
Ferris
Ronald.

But when Moylan comes back Ferris is out

 

[roboshark]

I thought he looked really good. Liked his effort for the try

That could work.

I’m not sure what to do with Moylan, he can be good but it’s not consistent. And then he is injured a lot. I’d like to be fielding a team that can stay on the field and get some games under their belt together.

That's gotta happen sooner or later too.

I’d be loathe to move Dugan out of the centres. We need his defence there.

It's a conundrum. I 100% agree with that thinking Don. I also think Kennedy is coming into his own. As others say he is good a for a blooper or 2 a game but it's balancing out. He did well with 2 TAs last night and showed he has some good skill.

On balance I think the team is better with him at the back, bloopers and all and Dugan at centre to reduce the considerably higher amount of defensive bloopers the left side has been producing.

He's been cited for a shoulder charge so injured or not he's out for a week.

It did look pretty shoulder chargy to me.

 

[Frenzy.]

P.S. Been watching the Jax F injury. It won't be a cork like I thought. I think it's gonna be a bit worse.

Yeah fo sho it was a SC. If it's grade 1 though he wouldn't have carry overs though would he? Early plea and play? Do you know the grade Inf?

 

[Frenzy.]

OH shyte

Didn't know a Grade 1 SC carried 200 points. Bit steep

[MilkShark]

The suspension won’t matter if he injured

 

[Inferno]

If he's injured for 2 weeks it would make more sense to contest it and then not turn up.

It would be less carry over points for him...

MCL?

 

[Frenzy.]

MCL?

I'd be guessing but I will. Not a ligament

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Ran a great line for his try but needs a ton of work on reading in defence.

Looked in all sorts on a lot of occasions.

His lateral movement in defence is really lacking and quick guys will expose him on a regular basis when they pick up on this.
