Will Croker be back?

[manlyfan76]

Any news ?

 

[Under the Sticks]

With Simpkin out this week with a Cat 1 HIA we will get another clue tomorrow for TLT.

My guess is we will see GCKT to the bench.

We have challenged the grading of HIA , fingers crossed

Wow didn’t know that was a thing.

Can’t see the NRL legal department backing down on a HIA.

Pretty sure we have successfully done this in the past.....Tommy, from memory.

So the other thread says the doctor assessed it as a Cat 2 in the sheds according to Seibs. Was it our doctor or independent nrl doctor?

What a farce if true.

Our doctor obviously.

The independent doctor said Cat 1.

 

[Nordburg]

Our doctor obviously.

The independent doctor said Cat 1.

I believe the independent doctor in the bunker,made his assessment on the basis of Simpkins stumbling around after the play the ball but I suspect he may of been milking the situation to help the team

*independent unless Manly has a chance of reaching the finals…

Seibs implied as much in his post match conference

Oh well there you go,I didn’t see his press conference

Per Seibs:
“Jake does have a mark on his face and Nelson is a big man so he copped a fair elbow from Nelson, so he stayed down because of that but he wasn’t concussed. We don’t believe it was category one but we lost him for the night so we were down to three players on the interchange bench.”

Yep the independent doctor only uses the video vision of the collisions and the players' physical reaction, such as stumbling, lying flat on their face etc. They don't speak to the players to make their assessment.

 

[manly al]

N R L are going to seem a bit pedantic if they try and discount and reject any appeal on Simpkin .
Can understand a certain criteria appraisal initially on Simpkin but not now the other considerations have come into play
Froggy is hardly going to be ready to go and not even sure if Grody is going all that well in Reggies these days .
That should not directly influence the appeal process but in the practical sense for Manly , really need the logical and favorable outcome

Said this elsewhere, but this transcription is wrong. What Seibs actually said is, "Jake DOESN'T have a mark on his face. Obviously, like Nelson's a big man, so he copped, you know, a fair elbow from Nelson, so he was, um, you know he stayed down because of that. But he wasn't concussed. Yeah, so we don't believe it was category one, but we lost him for the night."

Either the journos are crap, or the AI speech-to-text software they use is crap. But there's a big difference in meaning between does and doesn't.
