Apart from the last two, I would say that is pretty good news.Bring on round one already...

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Wow all expected back round 1.Hopefully injuries aren't as bad as thought.

 

[Ryan]

I'm completely intrigues guys on how Barrett will run with his number 9's. I mean, Parcell to start, with Brown coming off the bench IF needed in that role, but if Parcell is having a blinder, Brown goes into the backrow is my choice.

But where does that leave Api?

And I hope JB makes a speedy recovery. They have had out 4-6 weeks 2.5 weeks straight - does that means he's getting re-diagnosed, and there are delays, or does that mean round 2-3 backdated?

Good to see some communication on the injury front. I can see why they would want to be a bit cagey sometimes on publicly declaring injury status, but it's nice to see the club making the effort. Let's hope it continues through the season

Only concern is Snake it seems. Hope they manage him properly, need him on the field as much as possible.

They can try and be cagey but the returns or out injured that are not official from the club are known long before kick off by the fans, longer by those who make their money that way (lurker et al) so no doubt the opposition know as much if not more than the reporters so it has very little impact if any.

Apparently Turbo's injury is worse than they're saying, maybe ligament damage.

Either way Api or parcell off the bench for impact we cant go wrong. As far as buhrer is concerned backdated should be right for round 3.

Where did you hear this?

I heard round 3. He's back training so here's hoping!

Ok, where did you hear / read this?

Basic immediate treatment for sprains:
... ice to the injured area as soon as you can to reduce swelling. On the first day, you should apply ice every 20 to 30 minutes, three to four times per day. Afterward, it should be applied every three to four hours for the next two days.

If as reported Tom didn't ice the sprain, then the medical team have dropped the ball on this one.

Or it's minor, which is more likely

 

[Rex]

Yes. And it was significant enough for Barrett to report it as a concern and to be unsure after the game (and still) whether Tom could play in two weeks time. Immediate ice was always the professional treatment IMO.

Where did you hear this?

he rolled over forward on it in the nines with someone on top of his leg,it looked bad then,not a simple side roll
