PRE-GAME Round 13 - Roosters vs Broncos

[Battler]

Milf would have stayed on the field in an nrl game last night (says a lot about the game's approach to concussion, but that's a different argument). Surely he plays on Saturday, because I can almost guarantee Pearce will.

There are reports that "Anthony Milford will go in for scans this morning for a possible fractured cheekbone.
If fractured, he will be out for 6 to 8 weeks."

Hope he's ok. That would suck

 

[Accept]

It will certainly spice things up on the forum if Bunj sneaks in ahead of Kodi for a half spot

Bennett isn't going to use his third halves combo in three weeks if he doesn't have to. If Milf is out, Benji will be taking his spot and rightly so.

There are reports Greg Inglis is making his comeback this weekend in NSW Cups.

Milf and Pearce are both very long odds on playing on Sat. Neither coach will muck around with head injuries concerning their star halves.

The independent doctor ruled him out, so if he had stayed on the field in an NRL game the club would have likely faced penalties.

The games stance on concussion is to be commended IMO

and honestly Pearce is a bigger loss to the Chooks than Milf is for us ...

we have far better backup available in Marshall and Nikorima.

I've seen blokes stay on the field in much worse states than Milf was in last night. Not saying it's a good thing, but it happens. Pearce was legitimately out cold, so it's a farce if he plays.

I have no idea how a bloke sitting in the stands can rule milf out for the rest of the game without examining him. Milf stayed down but that could have just been because it fucking hurt, not that he was necessarily concussed.

Totally agree. I think the Broncos are specials on Sat. night despite not knowing the INS and OUTS.

Chris Garry had a coffee with Milford this morning... Stated on social media Milford seemed happy enough... seems doubtful he'd be out and about if that cheekbone fracture rumour was true, not to mention Garry would probably have mentioned it by now...

Anthony Milford ruled out of Brisbane’s clash with the Roosters following State of Origin concussion
Travis Meyn, The Courier-Mailan hour ago
Subscriber only
ANTHONY Milford will be ruled out of Brisbane’s NRL clash against the Roosters on Saturday after suffering a concussion in his Origin debut.
Milford was forced from the field following a headclash with Broncos and Maroons teammate Corey Oates after 60 minutes.

Milford was concussed midway through the first half.
He did not return as Queensland lost 28-4 to NSW and the Broncos are expected to be without their star five-eighth for their trip to face the Roosters at Allianz Stadium.
Milford’s omission will be somewhat countered by the absence of Roosters halfback Mitchell Pearce.
STAYING: Hayne will remain with Gold Coast
PRESSURE: What will Walters do?
Pearce, playing halfback for NSW, also suffered concussion from a high tackle by Maroons centre Will Chambers which is likely to see him be suspended from Melbourne’s match against Newcastle on Friday.
Titans hooker Nathan Peats (corked quad) will not back-up against the Cowboys on Saturday while North Queensland centre Justin O’Neill (concussion) is also in doubt.

Bloody Origin. First it cost us against the Warriors last week. Now it's gonna cost us Milf again this weekend.
