I'd say 8-12 from now. Lisfranc's are a long layoff.

right then, 5-6 weeks away from returning to the field from his injury. very interested to see what Marshall does with him upon his return. he could obviously deputise Sezer and Galvin, but for mine I think there's a vacancy at right centre and he'd be stupid not to try his hand there. his time...

Doueihi back to full training and due to return to the field in 5-6 weeks. Api right to go, club playing the long game with Latu.

great post. there's a lot of parallels to Brisbane in 2021. club legend as coach trying to instill some pride in the jersey, a nucleus of really strong young talent, and some decent players on the way. probably some big calls to make in regards to the roster and ensuring we recruit in the right...

Cook's a good call. really good backup half. that said, we've got a fair few halves as is, especially with Luai coming. the ideal scenario for me is shopping Sullivan and taking up Sezer's option, but it's probably not worth the trouble given how much freight we'll have to pay to ship Bud out of...

Flegg debut this week off the bench after a decent layoff for a hamstring issue. chances are he may start, it might just be that the #2 jersey doesn't fit him!

I think McMenemy, Isdale, Godinet, Duncombe and Taai are all first grade material. that’s not to say they’ll all be rep stars but each have great all round games and can be difference makers. what you reckon?

I think you're right. expose them to playing men this year and dealing with the week to week grind before springboarding into preseason 2025 and beyond. I'm hopeful we can see a change in the win-loss column towards the back end of the year.

Api's is a cork thankfully, nothing long term. while extremely painful at the minute, it shouldn't plague him beyond a couple weeks.

it's literally how Hook ruined Sullivan's career before it got off the ground. Richardson and Marshall need to play the long game and stick Simpkin at 14 or run four forwards off the bench.

season's practically over for us, let the kid work to strengthen his hammys and to get them to 100% and then just ease him in via Cup and allow him to build confidence in his body and his ability.

Simpkin plays better when he starts and if we can manage Api's minutes coming back then I think that's of a benefit to all involved.

time for some impact off the bench. far too often this year we have capitulated 15 either side of half time. that has to change. 1. Bula (concerned he's not 100% but no real replacement in the squad) 2. Staines 3. Naden 4. Olam 5. Alaimalo 6. Fainu 7. Galvin 8. Twal 9. Simpkin 10. Klemmer 11...

a referee losing control does not excuse the most pathetic second half I have seen from us since 74-0. constant ill discipline and poor use of the football has killed us time and time and time again this season. the most frustrating thing out of all this is how winnable this game was. apart...

job just got tougher but ultimately the plan doesn't change. Bateman will need to bring plenty of energy through the middle and Bula needs to sniff around the ruck.
