How sure are we on the Oates thing?

Not an injury or anything like that?

 

[Big Pete]

Oates in for Lui confirmed.

 

[vertigo]

100% in for Lui.

 

[Alec]

Sweet. Though he's more than likely will be coming in with 10 to go when we are down by 12.

 

[jarro65]

Good to see some more young talent being blooded.

 

[Unbreakable]

Great news that they're blooding Oates, about time! Deserved a shot ahead of Lui, Anderson, Slyney all year!

 

[Kimlo]

Oates is only 18 too, interested to see how he plays.

 

[noisetheory]

i hope he gets more than 15 mins.. maybe 20. any kid on debut doesnt deserve to run around for 5-8 mins as is griffins usual #17 thing and gain nothing from it.

 

[GCBRONCO]

fulltime in the NYC 34-18 win to the Broncos, coming back from being down 14-12 at halftime.

 

[Big Pete]

It doesn't really matter if he plays less than 10 or over 10 minutes really - the real benefit of this is that Oates got a chance to train with the senior boys, learn from them and was treated like a first grader.

I am officially in a coma after Griffin interview

"You guys stuffed up the draw and left us with a 4 day turn-around" LOL absolute brilliant comment from Hook, good on sticking it to Channel 9
