Don't tell me the NRL is adopting some common sense?
If you haven't trolled through the list of injuries on the NRL 'casualty' page it is interesting, ranging from no injuries for Illawarra to seven for us and nine for the 'Riff.
I'd like to see where Illawarra would be placed in relation to us if the injury fortunes had been reversed.

No injuries for the Steelers, but... they are playing with Ben Hunt.

I have no doubt that this is to start next year.
Probably not. They would say Taupau or Jake could fill in on the wing

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles winger Akuila Uate has been ruled out for the rest of the season.
Scans today revealed the Fijian winger suffered a syndesmosis injury playing in the Pacific Test match against Papua New Guinea at Campbelltown on Saturday.
Off contract with Manly at the end of this season, 30-year-old Uate recently signed a three-year deal to play in the Super League in England from 2019.

If we had a Leagues Club still contributing funds, Uate could have been paid out by June 30 and freed up a space on the roster 😎

Only 25 rounds this year so Uate missed out by 3 rounds 🙁

Convenient.

At least Taufua can go back to his preferred left side now.

More likely to fine us for not naming 21 players on Tuesday's Team list 😡
They’d have to count the finals too!

Well that's another excuse for Trent Barrett..
He won't know Uate's not there because he can't find the dressing room.

Barrett could play 5/8 lol
Then someone can slap him.

Can't we just use Doc Brown's DeLorean to send him back in time to get gang tackled by Rambo and Igor?
