Paging Hodgeball

Nothing specifically team wise coming out so far today, as to be expected with a Sunday game.

Although I am hearing Grainger-Barrass to debut, and a season ending injury to a senior player has occurred today.

 

[STFUJEFF]

Has anyone said this is a danger game ?

Please tell me it’s not JOM

Poor Impey can’t take a trick. That’s two serious injuries to him in a short space of time.

 

[TheFourPillars]

Silk?? Wow.

Favourites right? I mean that's what people think

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Shit news for Impey.

Will Day type break or Scully type? Big difference.

 

[TheFourPillars]

Landed awkwardly nothing like scully. He actually said he was ok to JOM who was in the marking contest. Obviously not ok

 

[CHUBBSS]

That’s crook for impey fingers crossed a fast recovery like day

 

[VandoHawk]

Fingers crossed for Impey. He was having an outstanding year

 

[H00t]

Very different defence for this game. Will be interesting to see how it goes. Only CJ and Hardwick under 189 cm.

Great to see DGB in the team. Wonder how much game time he will play.

Sh!t news about Impey. He was putting together a really solid year. Starting to get back to his best.

 

[rei154]

Sounds like the ship may have sailed with Cousins left on the docks at this point.
Really excited to see how DGB goes and am stoked that they're showing faith in Jai again this week.
Get the feeling we're going to get double digit debuts this year- and a proper debut for Downie.

 

[streetspirit]

It's annoying but long term as long as it heals fine there could be worse outcomes.

We know Impey is going to be on the list next year. There's questions on many others as well as a lot of green shoots that we can play off HBF - Greaves, DGB, even Pepper or Downie. So now there's one extra spot in the senior team for the taking for the rest of the year where we can see what we have.

 

[TazHawk15]

**** **** about Impey, I thought he played his best game since the knee reco last weekend.

 

[Roddy]

DGB is listed as 195 and 78. I hope he’s put on a few kilos since those measurements were taken…

 

[Walshawk]

Just resting up for his 400th next week.

 

[Hodginator]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s 3 weeks in a row of debuts.
DGB
Bramble
Duke

Plus Reeves two weeks before that.

No youth.

Hopefully Downie is the next one to debut. This time for real.

 

[hawk65]

Hopefully Impey makes it back in time for finals.

If what you say is true in what Impey said to JOM then it sounds more like it’s fractured. Fingers crossed and hopefully it’s only minor ala Will Day.

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

shit news with Impey but Day's ankle break wasn't too bad so hopefully it's in that vein he's right to go from day-dot for 2022 pre-season

at least it doesn't really matter that he's out in terms of our season prospects, but it still sucks when you consider he's a joy to watch play, and for his own mental health

first Sic, then Day, then DGB, now Jars — we've been robbed of periods of seeing our exciting-to-watch, skilled backman go at it

somebody go and warn CJ

 

[PT Bar None]

I'm so sad for Jars

 

[WWSD]

HB: Day (20), Grainger-Barras (19), Scrimshaw (22)
