Test depth

[SeaEagleRock8]

Test depth is the maximum depth at which a submarine is permitted to operate under normal peacetime circumstances.

But that isn't important right now!

Our depth is facing an early test. We have a squad of only 28, while all other clubs have 30, and were wrongly prevented from signing big-name players Moylan and Pearce, and the experienced Hodkinson. Now we have players dropping like flies.

I like the balance in our young squad, but hopefully we can play a few rounds without further casualties.

We certainly should Not br getting rid of lussick now. Sironen looked like acl which is season and kelepi could be set for a long stint on the sidelines. Depth is tested and its not ideal but i believe we DO have good cover this yr.

Lussick in for Kelepi
Gosiewski in for Sironen

Though I'd say Winterstein will get the nod

 

[Loobs]

You could go Marty to lock (or Lane), Jake Turbo to 12, Perrett to start, Lussick to bench until he earns a start.

U boat say?

thread torpedoed

sorry

scuppers himself.


-injuries (or lack of) are such a huuuuge part of a successful season, surely we can't be stopped getting the last two on board?

If the nrl had a decent players assoc, they could go into bat for us.

Two players down with potentially serious knee injuries, yet they both had to walk (assisted) off the field from the opposite side of the ground. If it had happened to the opposition, I am sure it would be getting used as further evidence as to why suburban grounds should be phased out.

Watching Sirro struggle with pain trying to hobble off was frustrating. Surely, there is a duty of care to ensure that the injury is not worsened.

When you speak we should listen - 9 posts since 2004 !!

Love Brookie but you make a really good point. Player safety is paramount. Let's hope all 3 are ok but Siro and Kelepi looked really bad.

I think Lussick or Tent come in for Kelepi and Winterstein or more likely Gosiewski in for Siro. Let's see what Jet Ski can do!

Who's got a naughty abnormality? .... probably that @globaleagle .

You flushed out @The Admiral who has been lurking in the depths for 14 years with minimal sightings with your U-boat.. that’s impressive.

He seems a bit of a salty sea-dog..

Surely they could buy some cheap Chinese quad bike from ebay for 1 grand and convert it with a stretcher for less than $1500. Ffs I'd pitch in $20 to avoid the embarrassment.

On channel 9 they seemed to be speculating that Siro got hurt because his foot stuck in the soft Brookie surface. If so, that's pretty bad.

 

[Chip and Chase]

If all 3 are out next week we'll be on struggle street. I suspect Tommy will be OK. Siro didn't look good, but hopefully not an ACL. Tangles being reported as suspected MCL, so will still be a few weeks out.

I'd rather Jetski get a run in front of Frankenstein for Siro and you would suspect Fully Sick will be front runner to replace Tangles - unless he has signed with ESL as rumoured.

Didn't look like that was an issue to me from the replays I saw, he propped to make a tackle and the knee "gave way" - I couldn't see any stuck in the turf twisting mechanism

Golf cart would handle the soft Brookie surface. I'm pretty sure that they could enter from tge NW corner.

Sirros offloads are rocks or diamonds. But it’s risk vs reward.
If he’s out for a long period of time we will miss him a lot. I hope it’s not acl because I think he could be a real star.

Frankenstein and Darcy, come on down!!

Let’s hope both Frank and Gosiewski are in line for a recall prior to Lewis.
