Spot the difference in attached pics (last night and vs Bulldogs Rd 7)

Lolohea's carrying an injury, despite what anybody within the camp is saying. To quote my earlier post (if i may be so bold :p):
If the coaching staff figure a guy can play through they're not going to go public about unless they have to (i.e Johnson hobbling on one leg).
Why give the opposition specific information on what to target? We typically only get information on injuries that sideline someone.
This is how all teams operate. It's standard procedure and absolutely logical.

Unless this is a new Cappy tactic: 'let's strap a guy up so he looks like he's injured when he's not really to confuse the opposition.' :lol:

Yeah but no he's fine. Should I listen to you or the Warriors?

Also, you can wear shoulder pads without having a shoulder injury! Might just be precautionary..I can only speculate to be HONEST.

That's a good picture of him too, was that when he was SPRINTING to beat defenders for a try? It didn't look like their was a break in his stride compared to Johnsons where it was easier for me to see.

I was thinking more when he beat Daniel Tupou to three high balls in the first Roosters game. You know, that game you started this stuff about - the one where you said he didn't take contested catches, then I gave you the exact minutes in which he did?

I just viewed the first 2 catches and they weren't contested. Tupou ran into blockers and couldn't compete COULD NOT CONTEST (thank god). However you are definitely wrong on that one and I've provided the proof..

-just before the 2nd minute
-on the 24th minute
Both were uncontested.

This is old and squashed in my book and I do admit that I brought this back into discussion by mentioning the Broncos round 2 game but I was just trying to make the point that it wasnt the first time Tuis aerial ability has been questioned.

You should listen to the Warriors, and look at the evidence in the pictures provided.

Football teams often withhold information, particularly relating to injuries. This is a known fact. Anybody who's been around the game (and not just league, but any contact sport) would have seen this. Right from school footy to first grade.

The evidence shows that Lolohea is carrying an injury. How serious, we don't know. Is it hampering him? Well, the evidence from watching him play suggests it probably is. Again, whether it's more confidence than physical, we don't know. And sure he was sprinting in that photo from yesterday. But he wasn't explosive off the mark like he usually is (in general, not for that try as he was already in motion when he took the ball), and he didn't have to swerve or step. He also didn't push off that leg to dive and get low when in a position to do so, and very nearly messed the try up as a result.

And comparing wearing shoulder pads to having a knee strapped is really like comparing apples and oranges.

Look, i don't really know why i've engaged. I've watched your other interactions around here and they've told me it's better to just nod and smile. Yet here i am, engaging. That's on me, i guess :lol:

In the end, if you look back all I asked for was a link or if you were just speculating. That's all I asked but that was too difficult. I admitted to when I speculated it's not that hard for me to do, you just be honest about it.

Wrist is strapped too lol.

Yeah close it up if you want MKEB. I've PROVED my points.
