How many mins will Sonny play in his return game?

[The Skeez]

With Sonny due to make his return from the bench tomorrow night,
how many minutes will he play?

[FREEMAN89]

30

15 either side of half time

[zac]

the length of his game time probably isn't cast in stone - our number one priority is to win the game - but i'd go 20-30.

[Keith]

I’d say less than 10, if at all.
I don’t think his knee is right, he will need lots of recovery time after each game , he will be saved for the big games.

[Johnny73]

It depends on interchange. If there is, Freddy forbid, injuries he may well get one stint. I suspect 30 or 40 minutes, likely a 20/20 split.

[Waylander]

Most likely about 30 minutes. Robbo tends to bring the starting lock off after 30 minutes, and swaps them again at about 60 minutes.

Don’t just comment, have a vote. Bit of Friday fun.
None of us know Trents plan nor what will eventuate in the game.

Definitely playing, and needs the fitness so will get more than 10 mins according to the coach

I reckon about 20. Depends on the game and what's needed though.

One thing he'll be awesome for is that middle 1/2 of the game where we often have a slump while JWH/Tauks/Cords...etc have a rest.

Ideally the game will be something like:
- 13 as named start, get ahead in the first half and are looking stable
- Papalii, Havili and Lui have a rest...
- With about 10 to go in the first half we give our cavalry + Friend a rest as well.
- Rather than the above being a 'rest', SBW and Lussick come on with a license to up the tempo (SBW replacing Cords with Sitili staying on the field). We put some more points on the board, forcing the Raiders to go all out early in the 2nd half.
- Second 1/2 the Raiders' big guns come back on and Papalii causes some damage, but tires out as a result. Same with whitehead (who will play 80).
- With 30 to go we make sure we've got Friend, JWH, SST and Cords on the park. The job's already been done and they've just gotta keep calm, steer the ship through the waves of desperate strips/offloads/penalty milking without conceding.
- If needed (or if somebody feels a bit of a muscle strain...etc), we sub one of our tired forwards for SBW. Ideally we don't need to though.

If he can play 25min and get through injury free i will be wrapped....his brilliance will come

How many Interchanges do you think we get? Cords and Sitili will probably play 80. We usually use 6 interchanges to rotate the props and lock, unless we get injuries.

[Bansai Pipeline]

I don't know but I reckon he's going to be awesome. A lot of people are down playing him but to me he looks fukcing superb.

[Snapn1]

This is way off topic but!!!! Has any1 heard the ""rooster"" song by ""alice in chains"" !!! Definitely a song you will want to hear

Maybe zero mins,,,,did anybody notice the captain runs pics?
he wasn’t involved in any of the plays, at the same time Aubo & Crichton were in everything. Could Robbo be distracting sticky & the boys??

Does aubbo even play when he is back? Does he find a spot in our 17 if SBW plays.
