Yeah not too good, we may see Chee Kam and Ado Carr at least

 

[Harvey]

Jeez, you would have to think Edwards or Aloiai starts at lock. We are short on big boppers on the bench. Graham or Griffen would have to be brought in, unless they bite the bullet and blood one of the u/20's props. If Nof and Kev go as well, would likely see JAC and then either MCK, Peni or Heleta in the centres. That is a bare bones side.

MCK and JAC might finally get a run

Move Halatau to lock and then either Siro/Aloiai/Edwards to start in the backrow.

I'd bring Dallas Graham or Jordan Grant onto the bench.

Looks like we get a chance to blood some of the young guns

 

[Guest]

We're going to get pumped guys…

 

[Thunderlips]

The Buchanan injury is a positive

 

[Harvey]

The Buchanan injury is a positive

It should allow someone an opportunity to step up and show that they deserve that spot over him.

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

WTF
I only wanted Buch to miss out
Not the rest of them :frowning:

 

[happy_tiger]

The Buchanan injury is a positive

Thunderlips you have no idea how bad the injury might be

What if it is career ending ??

Pretty low in my opinion

 

[Peaking]

Oh no Buchanan out what a huge blow that is. We're no chance now…

But yeah bad news regarding Sue, we are going to be light on in the middle indeed.

 

[Yossarian]

Yeah I know people don't want Buchanan in the team but celebrating an injury is a bit much. Not really his fault he keeps getting picked. From all reports he trains hard and is doing his best.

As for the injuries I think we can cover reasonably well and put out a decent side.

That seems reasonable. I'm guessing the back row will have Halatau and Sironen. Chee Kam would be a must on the bench if they risk Nofo and Kev.

 

[ricksen]

Edwards to start at #13 you'd think.

Id go with something like this:

1\. James Tedesco
2\. David Nofoaluma
3\. Nathan Milone
4\. Kevin Naiqama
5\. Jordan Rankin
6\. Mitchell Moses
7\. Luke Brooks
8\. Ava Seumanufagai
9\. Robbie Farah
10\. Tim Grant
11\. Sironen
12\. Lawrence
13\. Halatau

14\. Josh Aloiai
15\. Michael Chee-Kam
16\. Joel Edwards
17\. Jordan Grant / Dallas Graham

Addo-Carr on standby for Naiqama/Nofoaluma. If both are out then Chance Peni comes in as well.

 

[Magpie_Magic]

Worse still if Kev and Nofo are out then along with Simona it means our entire three quarter line is gone minus Rankin our worst.
We have zero depth there and were going to get caned out wide if they are out.

 

[Sabre]

Justin Hunt could come into the equation too I guess.

 

[Harvey]

Worst Case scenario
1\. Tedesco
2\. JAC
3\. Chee-Kam
4\. Milone
5\. Rankin
6\. Moses
7\. Brooks
8\. Grant
9\. Farah
10\. Ava
11\. Halatau
12\. Lawrence
13\. Aloiai

14\. Edwards
15\. Siro
16\. Griffen
17\. Graham

Take it easy, Nancy Grace. Let me rephrase that for you:

The Buchanan injury is a positive for the team and improves their chances of victory on Sunday. Best wishes to Jack and his family, i hope his rolled ankle heals up fast enough so Taylor can select him in the starting line up next week.
