Sipley and Lawton got fines. Free to play.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Olakau-atu can still play can't he? He just has to pass some tests during the week.
@Snake reported Guaca broke his hand yesterday.
Bugger that’ll be months

Wow….. nothing on the NRL injury front & nothing from the club. I know he has to pass concussion protocols but never saw anything during the game that looked like he copped an arm injury?
Foz's was reported as "broken hand". Turned out to be a fracture with a 3-4 week downtime.

Sounds crazy to say this is a must win, but it’s a must win, they beat us twice last year and will probably believe they can get us again off the back of a pretty physical encounter and the hope we will be flat after the emotion of Sunday, they get Ponga and Best back, which is big for them.
If we don’t aim up they could spoil things for sure. I hate these type of games where there is a chance for complacency, I trust Des will refocus the lads and they will turn up with the right attitude and play with the same intensity as they did in Sunday’s game, do that and we’ll be fine, one more strong effort, then enjoy the spell.

Is this broken hand thing a gee up? Fark if so this is beyond a joke with our injuries. I thought he had a head knock. If true we really need Siro back ASAP

Ponga has a groin injury and they don’t heal well and linger. He might still be ginger and not his usual elusive self. Best will be sorted by Morgs.

Well let’s hope that’s the case. I think Ponga brings a similar type of positive self belief to their side as Tom does to ours, obviously his no Tom, but they are a better side with him out there and Best is a strong ball runner and a good in for them. Still think we will take care of business, I’d just like to see us maintain the intensity of last week and win it it well.
