Is Porkroll actually injured? Havent seen much about it since the game
-
Saw a couple of instagram vids over the week which didnt indicate he was injured but may have been filmed prior to the weekend

Malcolm MacLeod -
A few changes, but still a strong team.
Good chance for Matiu, he hasn't had many starts (if any).
Hope we start getting some of the injured guys back - while our good depth means we keep putting out a strong team, we can't afford to lose any more!!!
@Gunner Yeah we don't want to lose too many more that's for sure. Be nice if we actually had reports on what the injuries are, we always seem to be in the dark with that. I mean what's up with Kara Pryor, hes been out for nearly two weeks now??
The only one we have heard about is Josh Goodhue with a head knock..
-
before the Southland game I had heard both Pryors had shoulder niggles so maybe Kara's got the best of him after that game? Think Tua's was a shoulder as well, and initially diagnosed as 2 weeks, now on his 3rd...now that I think of it Waa might also have a shoulder issue.
Robinson was always likely to miss most of the season anyway wasn't he?
Guess Goodhue could be back next week, or the one after, with these head knocks, who knows!
Did Matich take a knock to the head in the game?
-
Jordon Hyland probably the unlucky one to miss out.
Should see most of the players injured back next week from what I understand,only Namatahi Waa unlikely to be available.
Tom Robinson is back running which is good news.

@Gunner I noticed how hard Matiu hits. Looking forward to watching him. We want to win the physical contests to put pressure on. Our bench still looks good - Michael Faleafa is getting his first run in the reserves, I like Larsen, all our props have played well.

Late change with Matt Wright withdrawing, assume headaches?

Flu according to the Advocate.
I'm amazed that there is some commentary/explanation around an illness/injury as we don't normally get those details. -
Quite happy to see Alaimalo back at fullback, and Hyland onto the wing. Shame for Matty Wright, but defensively I think we'll be a bit more effective with what we have tonight.
The key is obviously starving their back three of ball, that's where Goodhue and Ranger will have to keep up the good work so far.
Still going to be a frickin tight game though! Us by 5
