22 players to choose from

[manlyfan76]

Most worrying is our injury toll
1 turbo
2 davey
3 Lawton
4 tafua
5 fainu (suspension)
6 siro
7 Olakau'Atu
8 Boyle

That leaves 22 \30 pkayers to choose from presume that cust is ok after concussion.

This makes it very hard to change the team up.

21. Cust can’t play next week under the protocols.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Yeah Cust's head knock was a bad one

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

So down to 21 - or less if any of our reserves get hurt today!!

 

[KNUCKLES]

I think the games have been postponed

[Budgie]

Of course, we could have bought the injury free Benji Marshall

I don't think this is actually the case? I believe he has tests to pass and can be free to play.

Agree I don’t think you automatically miss a week after failing a hia. Tests during the week will determine if he plays. If he doesn’t then perhaps throw Funa/Harper whoever doesn’t play fb on the bench for utility cover.

If Cust is out id be inclined to ask for an exemption to bring up Keighran from Blacktown. He looks a gun and is a genuine hooker/half. I don't want Croker to play 80. I like Croker for 25 mins to start a game only.

He played well last week, would not be lost in firsts.

I wonder how Harper would go in a stint at dummy half. His tackling was good in the trial game. Maybe I'm clutching at straws, although for some reason I like him being in first grade somewhere.

1. Harper
2. Saab

[Yaz Eagle]

Saddler can’t play NRL till after round 10.

 

[Olddodgyknees]

Saddler can’t play NRL till after round 10.

Unless they are granted an exemption by the NRL

 

[frank stokes]

Saddler can’t play NRL till after round 10.

Why is that?

I mentioned that last year, I reckon he would do well! Not a popular opinion on here though.

 

[manlyfan76]

Why is that?

Unless they are granted an exemption by the NRL

Or he changes his age to 17

 

[Fibro Eagle]

Saddler can’t play NRL till after round 10.

Saddler can be eligible
Each club is currently allowed an additional six development players, who can transition into first grade in the second half of the season or if there is an injury crisis. However, the number of development players is likely to be reduced to between two and four for next season.9 Sept 2020

 

[frank stokes]

Or he changes his age to 17

...and joins the rorters...
