Considering it was the mole, it was probably Nathan Friend and he broke his foot

Thanks - terrible news - would like to see more of Cornish after last week - does anyone know if he has played any football at dummy half? How's his middle defence? Keary has played plenty of dummy half maybe move him - defence is the big miss with jake out though!

FMD we're cursed.

I'd imagine we'll now see:

1. Fergo
2. Toops
3. Mitchell
4. Aubusson
5. Manu
...
9. Watson
14. Cornish

Pearce would fit the bill well - defensively strong and great passing game - massive disruption though.

FMD.
But if it's only four games it's not the end of the world.
We need to really play tough over the next month and grind out wins.
Just like last week against the Bunnies, it will be a test playing without some of our best players: hopefully like last week we will rise to the challenge and be stronger for it.

Going to be tough to keep in the top 4 but I believe we have the depth to cover Jake's and flash injury.

I just hope it's not 2015 all over again and injuries are going to make it impossible for us to challenge.

We seem to be getting more injuries than the other contenders at the wrong time

[Rocky Rhodes]

Oh well....there goes our top 4 chance...anyways we were never a chance to win the comp.

Pearce 9
Watson 1
cornish 7
keary 6

four big boppers on the bench with Aubo to play 9 if any of the spine get injured and the other three go to where makes the best sense if that's the case.

Where is our greatest 5/8th since Freddy? Where's Jayden Nikorima when u need him. That dude can play hooker.

Let's look at the positive side.

We have depth , we have a legend coach and we have history on our side.

Think back 2002 Paul Green gets injured and is out for the whole year and up steps Craig Wing who as halfback guides us to a premiership.

Also it is the Chinese year of the rooster

Injured

It doth pour when it rains!

Oh and the idea of moving Pearce is the worst suggestion ever.

Not a word about it anywhere? Very sus.
