21-MAN SQUAD v THE BRONCOS - Keary back

[The Lip]

Both are carrying niggling injuries.

I wasn't aware - what are those injuries i haven't read anything on that?

[morley101]

Mitchell has a sternum injury still and Radley is carrying a left side neck/shoulder complaint.

[Tommy Smith]

Yeah I expect Momirovski to spell one of our centres soon as he's made it to final 19 past couple of weeks.

Maybe one this week and one next week.

JWH firming to play Broncos

https://wwos.nine.com.au/2018/08/24/...o-face-broncos


The Sydney Roosters will enter the final fortnight of the regular season with the healthiest roster in the NRL following the possible early return of Jared Waerea-Hargreaves from injury.

Waerea-Hargreaves was slated to miss up to four weeks but is likely to face Brisbane on Saturday should he pull up healthy from Friday's captain's run.

Roosters coach Trent Robinson confirmed his star prop has trained for most of the week and is a chance of being welcomed back into the 17 alongside Luke Keary (knee)
"It depends on how he pulls up from this session today. That's the big thing. Obviously needles into the ribs will need to be had, I'd say," Robinson said of Waerea-Hargreaves on Friday.

"(But) the big man's ready and firing."

Why does Manu need a break??

[Lydon]

Why would we risk JWH if he indeed does need the ribs needles up 2 weeks out from the finals..

I thought the more logical choice would be to give him a few weeks and hopefully he can get back on the field without needles and risk of further damage..

[Tommy Smith]

Why does Manu need a break??

Maybe to freshen up?

Robbo has rested players at various points late in the season. Maybe he'll give one of our centres a rest, too.

Why does it shock you that he might do so?

Roosters coach Trent Robinson said on Friday morning that a fit and strong looking Luke Keary (knee) would make a welcome return to the field on Saturday night against Brisbane. Prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (broken rib) trained during the week and is a chance to play against the Broncos depending how he pulls up after Friday's captain's run but will require pain-killing injections if he does play, according to Robinson
