Napper said:Yeah poor guy. I don't know why he wasn't taken off. He was obviously in alot of pain.

INJURY UPDATE | Jayden Hodges has been cleared of any serious injury. Still in discomfort but in good spirits. Will continue to be monitored
The only good news from the night.
Snake said:I have to admit, I was concerned that we didn't take him off immediately. He showed real guts to stick it out for the half, but his long term health is more important that winning a football game. I love this young bloke for his toughness and resoluteness. What a champion in the making.

Thanks "Ron" for this (I am not a "Twitterer", lol)
That's the main thing (no serious prob). Unless he's 100% by mid-week, and Ballin isn't right for next weekend, I'd put Hiku in the 9 and start with Blair on the wing.
Least amount of re-shuffle. I watched the 2nd-half again today and Hiku was OK at dummy-half. Plus I like Blair. He adds some size and grunt to the run on team (and we need every ounce we can get!)
Other positives apart from Jayden being OK (for me) were Us putting 24 pts on 'em in the last 20 mins ; even if they'd put the cue in the rack, as ppl always say. *U can bet Maguire will make a strong point about this to the Vermin too!
And most obviously, we ARE still alive. BIG positive compared to 8 teams already clocked-off for 2014.
Perhaps we are running-on-empty and the relentless year-long effort's catching up with Us ( eg. All the injuries right on Finals time).
Overall it's easily been a positive season (finishing equal 1st) and that includes the added and extra BS about Manly and all the "unrest" we've been through. AND my view will remain even if we do go "out-in-straight-sets".
We've had many a worse season (in my 40 yrs following) and I appreciate what Manly provides me in my life (highlights and positives aplenty to remember from this year). From every year, more or less.
Which ISN'T quite finished just yet......🙂
