What’s the bad news?

 

[Dion Johnson]

Not a fan of Siro and I don’t like any player not being available to injury, what this does highlight is how we are exposed with no edge forward depth in the squad.

Guaca unavailable also leaves us with Davey and JetSki, my thought is JetSki is better suited on the right edge.

Siro is tough and hits hard... but isn't really mobile or dynamic, and the players outside him rarely see the ball except when taking hit-ups.

It could be just me but a long list of injuries seems like it is catching up with him too.

Will see how we go without him. I'm not convinced we should keep him (or Jack G) beyond this season but will wait a few more games.

The worst possible timing for Ola'kauatu to be injured. Would have been a shoe in for the next few weeks!!!

Dammit!

This is the sort of game Siro would actually be useful in - big body, good defender.

It's unlikely we will have an expansive game if its super wet, we just need solid momentum and even more solid defence. Siro in a bog would likely alter his approach - rather than playing like the 5/8th he used to be.

And poor Guac - opportunity begging through unlucky injury. Great to see him re-signed longer term though.

Who is Luke Williams ???? Maybe Williamson

David's brother

Yep - Surely a training incident

Heard he did it in the shower

Manly needs to ban players having a shower until the season is over

I hear it’s a great secret weapon too. The opponents just drop off in the tackles.

 

[The '47ers]

Meh

 

[Cioran]

It did seem strange that we got through last weeks game with no serious injuries., I wounder who we will loose this week?

 

[Franko]

If only we still had Lewis Brown would have slotted straight in

Thanks for putting him back inside my empty head 🙁

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

Funa to 2nd row

 

[XV-1]

Funa to 2nd row

Nah. Des will move Funa to the bench to play 3 minutes.

What should happen is Croker dropped and Sipley and Schuster come into the 17.

A lot stronger team

 

[Ryan]

Time to give Burbo a run? Would be interesting.

Holding their noses

Plays as many games as Turbo.
Not enough. Medically retire him

 

[master blaster]

I feel for Davey. He has been one of our best and then this happens to him.

 

[Stuey Davis’s Socks]

Is Siro injured or has Des subtly dropped him.........

 

[JakeyB789]

We looked better without Siro stifling our attack every time the ball goes to him. Shame for him that he got injured (even worse for Davey 🙁) but hopefully this forces us to look for younger and better options in our 2nd row.
