Gee, our injury toll this year must be making up for the lack of injuries we had last year! 

 

[Dan]

My thoughts exactly Eggson.......you can only play the hand you are dealt

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Did we really have a lack of injuries last year though ? Maybe there were no season enders, but I do remember King, Matai, Watmough, Lyon, Orford, Bani all missing extended time through injuries

Des is incorrect.  Stewart is an integral part of our winning ways.  Just check the stats Des, they don't lie. 

 

[eggson]

KE is right - we did have our fair share of injuries, but they just didn't seem to have any effect as we had so much depth.  This year we were hit at once and lost most of our backline...
Nothing we can do, let's see where we go from here.  Only way to go is up!

 

[Dan]

we didnt have so many injuries at the 1 time is the key

 

[DVS Matt]

we could go sideways eggson

Isnt it rather obvious that Des is simply attempting to divert the focus & pressure off BS.

I know...just trying not to jinx us with the spoon or anything 

And I just read we've lost Wolfman for 2-3 weeks with his shoulder injury.  Side just got released (can't submit at work for some reason)... still strong, hopefully with 1000% more heart

And ... Williamson.

The words 'Des' and 'incorrect' should never appear in the same sentence.
Shame on you

Dessie is trying to take the pressure off the bloke.

Teh 1,6,7 & 9 are soo important.


IMO, for the Knights game, Dessie ahould have kept Robbo and Wolfman in their specialist position. Maybe given Bani the fulback job. Given that Bani hovers all ove the field and is good under the high ball.

No comment on Seinfelds neighbour, I'm sure thats been cover.  I felt sorry for the bloke. I cant wait for T-Rex to cover a centres role, or Hoppa Junior get a gig.
