Patty led the forwards for meters with 144m... in 34mins... insane

Other than the win of course, that Origin game was great for us. Low minutes for Patty, Gem with some big game experience, Reece not activated and getting essentially two games off to rest that knee. Payne's the only concern, we should rest or at least limit his minutes.

Anyone got a rough CJ injury timeline?
He could be a big out in the coming weeks, bench looks horrid without him.

Only word is from NRL Physio who flagged it as 4-6 weeks

Bummer!
There’s one bye and some bottom feeder teams in there at least.

If it's a DVT it can take two months or more depending on where and how bad. It's not something you can push through either. If it's serious though you'd expect he'd be getting it surgically removed. Guessing blood thinners and wait and see in 2 to 4 weeks how it's progressed

Also a special mention to Kia giving me PTSD by forcing me to look at the ugliest and worst ute (excluding the BYD Shark) ever assembled repeatedly (even though the ads are good)

Omg yes that Kia is Raelene Castle in Ute form

Des is hilarious.
Heard a story about him from a bunch of ex-manly boys who played under him. He's insanely frugal (this is the coach who stopped in the tunnel in the middle of a run-out to pick up a coin he found...) and he used to show up to training in these really old, beaten up black footy boots. Players used to tell him he needed new ones constantly, he'd always resist.
One day some of the players stole and threw away one of his old boots and apparently Hasler looked for it tirelessly for months before conceding and buying a new pair of boots.
Almost a decade later at a Manly even, during a speech for Hasler, the players who took the boot finally confessed to Des what they'd done, thinking he'd have a laugh.... instead he was furious, telling the players that he'd always wondered what happened and he had only just thrown the one remaining boot away a few weeks ago - almost 10 years after the first one went missing, because he was always hoping it would show up. Was legitimately filthy that he had to buy a new pair.
Total mad scientist

Big for Des. Could be the kiss of death. Wouldn't look great for Madge to lose, either.
I see it as a test for Ben Hunt. Could be a collective "oh ****" moment if he turns out less than Paix, which some folk around these parts suspect.
