Rua's name - Isn't in our squad...
How does anyone think he's playing at some point.
Rua this, Rua that.... He's not in the squad yet - Might as well throw Cameron Smiths name up...
Train and Trialists can play after Rd10... (That's if he's even still here)
Comps all but over for us by then if we don't get a good start.

Jake's a long way off...

I just said he's playing because i want him too and i make the rules on my planet, different planet to everyone else 🤣
 
That really sucks.

Hope he can come back and still have an impact for us this season.

In the meantime, Simpkin is our best hope. Peachy is not a hooker. But he or someone else is going to have to jump in there.

Wish we could play Rua.

Shame for Liddle, he's so injury prone and it's a problem

Good opportunity for Jake Simpkin to stake his claim to the #9 for the season and a massive test for a bloke who's only 20. Think we might see Peachey cover the spot off the bench although I don't rate him as a hooker at all

I agree it is a perfect opportunity for Simpkin to claim that #9 and not let it go all year.

I actually think Liddle out might end up a blessing, as it will have forced Madge's hand by putting Simpkin straight in (as long as he is fit and injury free).

Some very winnable games in the first 5 rounds too!
 
Glad that this injury is not too serious.

The statement of his fragility regarding his knee injuries are ridiculous and particularly as his were resulting of major impact contact. Especially so if they trumpet the toughness of some that have suffered from innocuous collapse that unfortunately also occur.

The strength of all that suffer through multiple huge injury setbacks to play again deserve respect and not ridicule.

When injuries hit to spine players then development players can get called up. Not sure if same applies to train and trial contracts.
If not we could upgrade him to a development contract for the rest of the test and chuck on an nrl contract for 2 years on top of that. Would be a very smart thing to do

Everybody listen to balmain boy, exactly what I was eluding to. I'm starting the rumour now, "Cheese 🧀 on Legs" signs nrl contract with WT for 2 years! 😁

My guess simpkin and Peachy will cover 9 if he can't last the 80.

You think simpkin didn't get much a run at trials to manage last years injury?

Im a fan of Simpkin and hope he comes good but he didnt play well in the trials, doubt he was hooked because of it but maybe just to ensure the next hooker in line also doesn't risk an injury
