12. Riki

Jordan played like a fool the other night rushing out of the line 2-3 times per set .
Didn`t take Nicho Hynes long to exploit that .

Riki`s PCMs were improved compared to last year though .

I've been a pro herbie at FB for a while, but there will be no unsetting Walsh- outside of some poor kick choices, he was perfect.

Keen to see how fit Arey and Capewell are.

I think we are a real chance of winning 3 or 4 from the opening 5 games if we look decent in this trial.

 

[Mustafur]

I was surprised Madden wasn't used in the last game, if Madden Starts with Reynolds in this one it will tell me that Kevvie is mainly thinking about Sailor as FB cover which I think he should be 2nd choice 1 and 6 at this stage, with Madden 2nd choice 7 and 3rd choice 6.

Walsh may be in doubt for round 1 has fracture in cheekbone so we either see Herbie at 1 in this trial, add Sailor to the 30 or Cobbo/Arthur's if there's a chance Reece can't play.

Might be sooner rather than later .
Walsh has a cracked orbital .

Madden is getting over surgery .

Far out. I said it looked like a fracture at the time. Swelled instantly.

 

[McHunt]

Madden is getting over surgery .

I missed that. Do you have any more info - like recovery time?

Mentioned it early last week . I would have expected Jock last week along side Ezra to see what they have got . But apparently in recovery from surgery .

He looked concerned too .
He is such a tough basterd it made me wonder if he did some damage .
