He will have a HUGE target on his back and be forced to run the ball I hope.... they target injuries and do whatever it takes to win (eg walsh) so **** them

The way I see it, we're travelling about 4-5th, after the Storm, Roosters and Panthers, with a questionmark on the Sharks.
So Round 14 (Saturday 8th June) against the Sharks should be the reckoner, but unfortunately it's 3 days after the first Origin.
I'm not as convinced as others we fall apart without Reynolds, and not as badly as the Storm, Roosters and Panthers without their halves. However, Walsh, Carrigan and Mam are another matter, and we're likely to be missing at least one of them (plus Haas and possibly Staggs). The Sharks might be missing Nicho. Hard to judge under those circumstances.

I reckon they'll rest him given his hamstring history because they have the bye the following week

And it'll be right before origin 3... panthers won't want him playing in that game on the back of a hammy injury.
It will depend on how panthers are travelling though... if they're winning their games they can hold him back as long as possible... if they're losing too many game and the top of the table is getting away from them, then they'll bring him back as soon as he's ready

We've had so many injuries to key players, so we haven't got any continuity going at all understandably. All we need to do is keep around where we are and hit the pointy end of the season fresh, fit and firing. We know we've got the talent and the ability to take this out but just need some luck.

Harsh reminder this afternoon that we need to work for it, we will always get every 50/50 against us and our normal left edge is pretty solid (start of the year, before bulk injuries was good). Perfect game for Kevvie to highlight for the rest of the year and remind the boys of what worked last year. Pretty compressed top 2-8 with us having a much needed bye coming up. This team at full strength only needs to win 4 in a row in September/ start of October and we definitely have the team to do that and have the reserves to make the 8!
Nice optimism. Good on you. I'm sulking.... putrid defence. Dont deserve to be in the top 8 :(
