    @daffy-jaffy he got injured again in Mitre 10 Cup.

    Blues tend to have a history of picking impressive U20 players who get injured early on in their career - Faiane, Gibson, to some degree Papali'i etc

    They just happen to be all from St Kents.

    Duffie also went to St Kents and he started his career with so many injuries. He was the Blake Gibson before Blake Gibson.

    Scrafton is another St Kents boy, but he didn't start his career with injuries, he's just getting all his big injuries now.

    I wonder how serious Telea's injury is, because I saw him at the final and he had a big knee brace on. There didn't seem to be much in the contact that injured him, so I'm assuming it was an ACL.

    Who's the likely replacement? Leger?

      @dice St Kents makes you soft! If Scrafton stayed at Kelston he wouldn't be so injury prone haha.

        @tim If we do call someone up, he might be the option. Not sure if we'd call anyone up with 4 healthy midfielders still available though.

        If Telea has done an ACL, he should be back around March or April.

          @dice
          ACL recovery is a minimum 8 months. Look at Coles pretty much a year before playing, this is normal process. Yeah some people play when they are 6-8 months post op but they aren't usually professional sports people.

                            Can't be a good captain if you your place in the team is under threat, and you don't deliver on the field.

                                        The Blues today dumped Tana for not drinking Guinness when offered. Head CEO Blues Honcho Whomever said "It's just not a good look for the team, drinking water, what other excuse has he being there? And BoD is still a cnut"
