Jake Friend breaks hand out for a month

[Johnny Tobin]

Is it hard being a complete moron or does it just come naturally to you?

There's nothing to be gained from feeding a troll Coggie.

I think the biggest problem is who will take up the slack and do the 50 plus tackles a game?

Has Butcher ever played hooker? Or do we blood Garvey?

Can Cornish goal kick? I believe he did the kicking in the juniors, or was that his brother?

Mate I go down at the drop of a hat lol. Back pain, shoulder pain, stomach issues, etc. I have no idea how these guys play through some of the pain they do and not to mention the quick recovery times. Busted hand sounds like 2-3 months of sick leave to me!!

I broke my sternum in a game of footy and have also fractured my ribs. I thought I was dying. Couldn't do anything for weeks. Laugh, sneeze, $hit, cough, it didn't matter. It was like a knife going through me. I sooked on like you wouldn't believe. Was out for months, especially with the sternum injury.
I tip my hat to these crazy #astards that a back in 2-3 weeks from similar injuries. They are mad.

Damn JC that sounds like an horrific injury. Hope you have fully recovered. Those kind of breaks can haunt you in later life. I also wonder at how casual these guys are about having surgeries as well. I have an irrational fear of such things.

I'm 51 and feel the sternum injury every winter. Old age is outstanding

ask mickie lane i wouldnt know what being a moron like

People like boogie need to feel superior to other people because the small penis has crippled their ego...

[Mickie Lane]

Blokes like Radley, Nikorima & Garvey are no chance.
Robbo will go with established players because he knows having inexperienced players like Manu, Mitchell & Butcher in the squad is enough.

I think Fergo will go to FB moving Manu to the wing & Aubusson to the centres. I think Watson will go to No 9.
The bench I think will be Liu, Tetevano, Evans & Matterson. If Cordner is injured then Matterson to the back row & Cornish to the bench.
If Pearce gets injured Cornish to half & Butcher to the bench.

I guess the importance of risking it is a thing too?

Like... risking it for your local weekend warriors footy team when there's no prizes for winners and you could be out of a $75k a year job (your family's only source of income) for 6 months if injured is stoopid. When you're paid $500k+ a year to play footy then you'll be out of a job + letting down your team + sponsors if you DON'T play.

Aubbo will be hooker I'd say.

It certainly won't be Pearce. Because..,,he's the halfback. Seems to be a difficult concept for some to grasp.

[Johnny.]

Don't forget SST. Haven't heard that he is 100%. The guy's recovering from Knee & Hammie

Four then.

I had a le forte fracture(skull and jaw) one of the worst the operating surgeon had seen from a Baseball incident- likened to a car accident at 100ks someone hitting their head against the dashboard - Pitching to a Batter the ball came back on the full - no time to move hit me on the side of my head just below the temple as I moved my head that way - went down for the full count as they say and well a serious injury - 20 odd weeks on the disabled list - No fun at all as Mr Lydon (Rotten) would sing. Only liquids for not only 20 weeks but 2 weeks after as well - All types of Soups and Sustagen Sport powder with all types of fruits/chocolate/milk and anything else blended to liquid for taste for something different each day- 3 times a day - peroxide liquid to wash the teeth as could not brush them at all for that period of time. To think that people get their jaws wired to lose weight is crazy and not something I would ever advocate.

Saw a similar incident watching a MLB baseball game a few years back when one of channel 10's stations showed the US Baseball (American and National league) - that pitcher was not in a good way and the game was stopped for 20 minutes before the Ambulance came.
