It is amazing we have lost 3 of our captains, the 4th is coming back and we look jut as balanced a side for me.

Impressive we have been able to cover for all these injuries very well so far. We haven’t been hit with any long term injuries yet and part of that would be we have the depth to rest players when they have a niggle.

Uh oh Benji
Honestly I'm so confident with the depth we have this year that I'm not overly worried if somebody gets injured. The only players I'd get worried about are our halves.
Christ grub. Glad ET is back. He's the heart and soul of our pack imo.

Seriously...you'd jump at the chance to release him now wouldn't you?
He's not a bad player but salary to quality ratio, he's surplus to requirements.

This guy has already had a huge impact through his infectious attitude towards preseason. He will shine for us over the next 4 years. Give the bloke a break!!

Yeah I found it strange at the time when he came off , thought when I saw him hunched over that it couldn't possibly be a fitness issue , he was only on for about 20 minutes
Good thing is with Grub’s injury is he can still get some miles in his legs. I reckon his hamstring strain would have restricted his fitness and we saw the result on Sunday.
Hopefully will come back fit and healthy.

Nah - he was gassed. On 360 tonight he said he didn't even know how he did it.happy tiger wrote: ↑Tue 17 Apr, 2018 11:07 pmYeah I found it strange at the time when he came off , thought when I saw him hunched over that it couldn't possibly be a fitness issue , he was only on for about 20 minutes
Bad luck for Josh. Let's hope this is his last set back.

I tell you what we love to throw crap at our own players. I for one feel for grub and hope he sorts it out. The bloke has been the perfect team mate and a catalyst to the team first approach his attitude and selflessness should be applauded. Its hard to like our fan base sometimes.
