Injuries from last night

I just hope none of our key players pick up any injuries that see us underdone in the finals. If we can keep enough of a team together to jag 5th, that will be enough for me. But in the finals we really need our top 17 to have any chance.
 
Compared the last season we've had a relatively injury free run over the past two months, which has seen our results improve. Now we will have to rely on our reserve strength.
If Siro is out then Waddel comes in with Jetski taking his place on the bench.
If Boyle is out (and I question whether he deserves his place in the 17 anyway) then Perrett is probably the best option. Yes, I know, he is a liability in defence. But he can play strongly in attack for 10-minute bursts and I don't think there is another prop in our top 30. (Baldy Saunders or T-Rex are ineligible or else I'd have one of them on the bench).
If Parker is out there are many options imo. I'd suggest the safest one is Cust to 5/8 and move Walker to centre (mind you, I wish Walker would start to have an impact on any game!). Next safest would be leaving Walker at 5/8 and bringing Elliot in to centre. Other options are LG or Croker to 5/8; or keeping Walker at 5/8 and recruiting Funa to centre. I can't see Des taking this last option as it is too risky at such an important stage in the season.

Curtis Sironen off last night with hamstring injury, coach Des Hasler said unsure if cramp or strain at this stage. Initial concern for cramp but then pulling up during sprint brings concern for strain. Would be in doubt either way with Manly having early game (Thurs) next week
 
Farrah and mbye injured both could miss next week

Edit: farrah is definitely out.. maybe career ending, lets hope he only misses our game. Mybe groin issue.
Tigers looking very thin for our match and they have a short turn around.
You add our motivation to avenge our last start effort this is as good a time to get the tigers.
If we can get up on Thursday night and compete with everything on the line then we never will.
Us by 8 at this early stage

Almost zero chance Mbye is there, they mentioned it being a quad injury and even a minor soft tissue injury like that isn’t sorted in 5 days.
