Do we bring in Wilson to play the Saad role? Or have Williams go back and do that?


Gonna be a bunch of new faces in the line up this week. Only took the nuclear option for it to happen.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Williams played on Sunday

Didn't notice

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

From the emergencies and returning injured...

• Young
• Carroll
• Binns
• Williams
• Fantasia

+1.

Williams was already in the side.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Didn't notice

Fair.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

So, Boyd's injury is that bad he will not play again this year...

and he was put back out there... unforgiveable...

 

[bradfisher14]

There is NO way Saad is 1-2 weeks with a hamstring since it's his second this year.

More crisis management PR bullshit from the club

 

[Stamos]

With both Saad and Boyd out give Billy a go.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Fair.

So...
Young
Carroll
Binns
Fantasia
+2
+ Replace anyone actually dropped

As per my gamble post in the game thread... Charlie, Saad, Harry, Martin, Boyd out for remainder of H&A. Get some exhuberant kids in and in the hope we make finals those 5 have 4 weeks rest till the first final. We could bring in those 5 + TDK and possibly Cerra for finals.

 

[SolGoodman]

With both Saad and Boyd out give Billy a go.

Honestly the best game for it.

I think they’ll probably go safe and send Williams back there, but a part of me hopes we see Wilson.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

They must think we're stupid...

Gotta keep the hope up if we somehow make finals...

 

[Opium]

There is NO way Saad is 1-2 weeks with a hamstring since it's his second this year.

Martin listed as 1-2 absolutely no chance.
Club taking the pi55 now.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

All those 1-2 week listings probably get revisited if our season is still alive then.
If it is we can back the squad that gets us through the next two weeks.

 

[Opium]

That's one long injury list

 

[GT619]

nothing surprises me anymore. couldn't care tbh

 

[Kruezing]

Martin listed as 1-2 absolutely no chance.
Club taking the pi55 now.

I laughed loudly when I read that … maybe it’s years not weeks …

 

[Beyond Blue]

The very reason why I feel for players such as Marchbank and Martin. They were never given a chance. Just idiotic.

They would have been on modified programs. Besides they’ve been on the list for over 7 years so I think they’ve had plenty of chances. We are not a charity although our list management is being run like one. It might sound harsh but we aren’t going to have any real success with 10% of the playing squad unavailable in perpetuity.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Williams is going to have to go back for sure, at least until he does his hammy.

 

[Opium]

The way Charlie hobbled off I thought it was a significant injury. Good outcome all things considered.

 

[jj1978]

That's one long injury list

40% of the list.

 

[Soapy V]

That's one long injury list

Worst I have ever seen

 

[Blue_Fusion]

There is no honesty in that injury report... disgrace.

 

[jj1978]

Williams is going to have to go back for sure, at least until he does his hammy.

Or the going gets tough and he has some "tightness" in the area and subs himself out.

 

[carlton_99]

So, Boyd's injury is that bad he will not play again this year...

and he was put back out there... unforgiveable...

He only played 1/3 of the first half and then was forced to stay on a bit longer in the 2nd half because we had one rotation. Was pulled late in the game (played 50% game time overall).

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

It is just saying the next two weeks. After that, we don't know.
