Injuries ...thanks wankbest stadium

[zac]

Fox Sports are still reporting on their website that the Rooster had lodged an officially complaint about the playing surface. They also reported it live before the end of the second half.
Where did they get the info from?

fox sports aren't always accurate. maybe someone not in our coaches box mouthed off about it?

i wouldn't be happy playing there again any time soon.

FWIW in the presser Robbo said:
- Liu broke his rib and had to come off
- Somebody else who was recently rested has a broken rib
- Brett Morris cannot sit down in meetings due to a chronic back issue
- He's not thinking about the field... they reckon both are probably ACLs and it just feels really sad
- Cords and JWH stood up and said 'we've got this half' when asked if they needed a rest (cords 'politely' told Twomey to fark off when he approached him for treatment too lolz)

IMO injuries are just a reality of contact sport. A large percentage of players carry serious injuries throughout the season and it's just how it is. I see a lot of the knee injuries as being over-use injuries more than anything. Both injuries came off players running hard then trying to do a hard pivot. There's a reason why I run half marathon distances 3-4 times a week but refuse to play lunchtime soccer/touch. I value my knees.

Thought it was SST and JWH

I think Ism watches a different feed to the rest of us.

Injuries?
No worries...time for the rest of the squad to pick up the baton and keep going!

Lam
Hutchison
Nat Butcher
Ikuvalu
Asu Kepaoa
Daniel Fifita prop
Egan Butcher 2nd row
Fletcher Baker 2nd row
Luca Moretti 2nd row
Christian Tuipulotu
Farmer

Why are you being positive? Are you feeling ok? Suddenly we are struck down with injury and you have found faith!?

Not yet first graders.

Anyone hear how Sam walker going? Perhaps he could be introduced to FG as backup hooker? Assume he’s close to 18 now

He is not playing footy so can't be going too well apart from on the training paddock. No way a skinny kid like that could handle defending in the middle of the field and no way should an 18 year old be thrown into first grade out of his natural position.

3 to the Roosters & none to the Dragons, I think its just terrible bad luck.

This.

Chook.

Does anyone know if we can get squad replacements for the injured duo?

A veteran hooker/forward might prove to be quite handy.

Is the June 30th deadline extended cause of Covid?

[King Salvo]

Radley's was a strange one as he rushed out of the line to make tackle for no real reason and then tried to stop and crashed to the ground in agony clutching behind his knee- Verrills looked like he tried to prop when running the ball and his boot was stuck in the ground and his leg gave way.

There were problems with Bankwest's surface all last season in night games so this isn't just a one off - Not sure why North Sydney oval isn't being used - cost reasons?? -

John Asiata? He may solve the Victor Radley problem temporarily, guy plays like a halfback, soft hands at the line, great passing skills and very good footwork and the guy is about 100kgs you could play him anywhere in the forward pack basically.

Yeah i read on another forum that Fox Sports is a lot like Fox News.....lots of fiction. If you're going to say its a "official complaint" then it needs to come from an official source. They said it before the first half finished, at the end of the game in the studio and on Fox website. Made as out to be whingers before Robbo rubbished it

[The Sack]

I reckon Angus could play the role of Radley. Has great skills with ball in hand, tackles hard and can read a game.
