Preview Changes: R22 vs Brisbane

[moogerfooger]

Lisfranc is terrible news. Jones finally looking like putting something together and suddenly a year out potentially?

NFL players are generally much heavier so maybe they makes it so worse? Tom Stewart did one a couple of years ago and got back alright.

There are different grades of Lisfranc. Probably best to wait for Burgess to comment on severity before we jump to conclusions.

Stewart did his in August '21 and was back for Round 1 '22, going on to be named AA.

Have we had a soft tissue injury yet this year?

Rankine

Rankine

I knew I was going to miss an obvious one. Outside of that though it seems to be unlucky/impact injuries.

Worrell as well in the preseason game

Two for the year is a pretty decent return.

A whole lot better than 2018

Zac Taylor's time out and recovery will also give us an idea re. Jones.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Do you think we learn to spell our youngsters during the year from now on?

Yep I hope so

Some of these guys won’t need as much spelling as we get more experienced though

Max week off has done him wonders

Rachele no diff

Be interesting re Pedlar

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Zac Taylor's time out and recovery will also give us an idea re. Jones.

Won’t play this year , hopefully be right for pre season start

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Zac Bailey too

Yep will be like any game , give their forwards enough easy ball and they’ll get hold of us

Their forward line is one of if not the best

 

[BRL121]

Worrell as well in the preseason game

What was Mcadam's injury?

 

[Dangarman]

If BF can't spell our youngsters why would the club?
Mickellaney, Borlace, Rachelle, Nankervice, Worrel, Parnel and Keene should be fine to play full seasons.

 

[Bearded Clam]

What was Mcadam's injury?

Adductor wasnt it?

And my Favourite Scholl (Sholl)

Lucky it's not audio, otherwise we would have to put up with all of the Kiwi's calling our coach 'Nucks' !

 

[ams4crows]

He played on a wing yesterday...

Muarry Butts and Doedee all played wing yesterday? That's news to me? Pretty sure they all have long term injuries.

Sam Kerr did one 8 years ago and she has gone on to have an amazing career

Jones!

People keep mentioning he played in defence.

Smith & Jones were the starting wingmen.

Hinge played in defence.

Hinge and milera seem to be firming as our two main HB’s..

Hopefully moving Smith out of there, a spot that has been his for an eternity now, is the first signs of him getting managed out of the side…

Need to now have Cook wrestle that wing spot off Smith..

Smith had a cracking last half after a poor 1st quarter

Spot on though we need Cook grabbing that spot at some point

Good move to get smith to wing and let the young backs settle in together

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Worrell as well in the preseason game

Worrell did his hammy 3x including the pre season training phase

Agreed.

Nakervis is the other one - whether off HBF or wing, but bringing in Cook gives us anothe player who can play wing/HBF... & up forward too.

We neeed to prioritise these players with upside. They haven't let us down too often.

Really happy with the young defensive group & another good test against the Lions.

 

[ams4crows]

Also apparently we'll be wearing our gather round Guernsey for this game which is cool.

Have to say after watching the 30 years ago today video of Modra kicking his 100th our home Guernsey with white shorts really does look awesome and I wish we wore that combo more

 

[Milo Cyrus]

Hope we head up early and have a couple of beach sessions.
Then hunt the hell out of them on what looks like its going to be a warm late afternoon and taxing game.
Doesn't it get slippery in these twilight games up there?

Out: Jones(inj), Sloane
In: Cook, Pedlar
Rachelle (sub) - with an assignment to hunt Neale and work him over when the time comes.

I'd be tempted to play Thilthorpe on the wing for periods this week.
If big Oscar Mac misses again the window opens to steal this one.
Be prepared for Zorko to get grubby.

Going to need to have Plan C,B and then A to rollout to keep the heat on them all game.
Let's not die wondering.
