Chemist Warehouse Injury Report: Round 4

[Tiger_Steve]

I’ve said before that I hoped Packer made it back as we needed an enforcer. But last week changed everything. No way he could keep up the pace. He would be a liability. I like him (not the 43m version) but I think the game has passed him.

Short burst impact player off bench?

Well he could play 25m either side of halftime I suppose. Can just see him getting run around by a scooting half as they run at a retreating defence.

You mean 15 mins? If he plays 50 mins he'll be playing more than our starting props!

I don't think we'll see Russ in FG for us this season.

I thought he was gone before the rule changes, he's no chance of first grade unless we have massive njury problems.

I would actually like to see Packer out there again TBH,

I think his aggression could be a good lesson for the younger Guns.

I feel he has something to offer still.

Your forgiven if your Scottish .....if not walk on

At least Russ is back out there amongst the team. Hopefully he creates more competition for spots and he’s a really good leader for the younger guys, don’t see him back in first grade though

He seriously lacks in the mobility department Spartan and Madge has made it clear he'll take mobility and fitness over brute size with the new rules. Unless NSW Cup returns, there's nowhere that Russ can gain match fitness which is the other problem given he hasn't played in over 12 months.
