Yeah, just can't find a report.

Medial strain - couple of weeks was the report after the Sharks game

Cheers mate, can't find the Injury sections on the new websites.

ditto - There was a video from the recovery session last week with him in it, but even that is gone there is just the page and no video on it.

Liddle still coming back from his shoulder?

which side is corey thompson on ?


i actually really like corey, strong ball runner, pretty smart defender and tougher then most wingers but when you put him against aerial threats like tupou, bad things happen

MCK is lucky to be in first grade, very very average at best

Hope McQueen gets match fitness under his belt, Aloiai overcomes his injury, NOFO gets back in first grade real quick.

Also I can see Marshall moving to 6, grub to dummy half when Godinet goes off as Elijah Taylor is NO dummy half.

Will start calling him Josh Dugan 2.0 soon

Pretty sure he played Right side in the Cows trial.

Concerned with out lack of pace in the backs. Not too concerned about our pack. I think they can hold their own against most teams.

Yep, should be back between R3-4.

Yeah, Prop rotation is a good blend of youth and experience and size and mobility. The problem is still our meek wide backrowers I reckon. I thought Aloiai might solve that this year but he is joining the long list of injury riddled second rowers we've attracted over the last decade. It may be coincidence but as soon as Steve Folkes left we began this wretched injury run.

It's a shame Gareth Ellis didn't do a Patty Richards for us.

Tupou ATS is leaguegod's Lock of the week!

May have been ugly and just fell in at the death but FK I enjoyed that win

I've kept expectations low to avoid being disappointed yet again but fuck that defence was good

May have the toughest draw in the comp, but also have the toughest team

That defence was fn awesome. Loved that win! Good way to start the season.

Who's doing the laundry this week ???
