From Bennett presser:
Kaufusi - Hammy... unlikely to be playing
Herbie - AC Joint... unlikely to be playing
Flegler - AC Joint... didn't make out what he said, but might've said not expecting to play... did anyone hear what he said there?
I think grade 1 AC joints are 1-2 weeks and they're painful up until they're healed and then it's fine... so just a time thing... I think I've heard commentators say they can be needled, but Croft picked up an AC joint injury in early rounds 2020 and missed 2 weeks or so?? (this was when he was playing well for the team and they would've wanted him on the field)

He was certainly mumbling. I think he said Flegs a chance. The other two aren’t.

I’m not watching another game where we don’t have cover for outside backs. Oates on the bench, or maybe Sailor if we are desperate.

Talk about big fish in a small pond. Would love to have Staggs get a try and shout that it’s our f**ken house. Dirty dolphins squatting in our rightful stadium.

This. Nobody ever talks about the BS draw they have. Until the NRL can somehow even up the playing of each team evenly, the NRL will be a joke of a comp.

If you asked Wayne when he signed Flegler and Farnworth "Alright Wayne, which game do you absolutely need us for the most, so we can work our injuries around that game", he absolutely would have said the game against us, without hesitation.
That's unfortunate, Wayne.

He said he's a chance of playing.

It seems like everyone is getting injured right now. And I do wonder, would the NRL be wiser to look at bringing in positional weight classes or limits instead of getting rid of the kickoff?
Also, it's a bit beyond crazy, but would we (or any team, potentially) ever look at starting both dummy halves to carry a specialist back on the bench?

This game has just become winnable for me. The whole comp is winnable after today, in form teams looking totally beatable which is great to see. The Warriors included, while they were good today, the rabbits were so shite that even the titans would have flogged them I reckon. So many teams sitting 2-3 on the ladder like us, bodes well for us making a push when our stars return before too long.

Yep just got to roll with the punches at the moment and keep picking up wins where possible. We are primed to go for a post-origin run.

Need to stay at .500 until the troops start returning and hope we have no more injuries in between.
The team also need to be ruthless at this time... can't afford to drop games against teams we should be beating and can't afford to waste try scoring opportunities... like the two bombed tries against storm.
Comp is way too tight at the moment and we are vulnerable until the troops return.

I dont know if i'm imagining it, but there seems to be a higher amout of injuries across the comp this year.

He may be the only viable option. See how the lads recover from injury. I hope even Marty is good for a run

They still need to lose hammer and katoa to be roughly equal with our outs lol
Edit: they don’t have anybody on their roster close to Walsh, Arey, or Haas’ level, thus the use of the word roughly
