@Yeetyaah You're very short on locks though ...

Yeetyaah

Can always convert Alaimalo to lock

Bovidae

I better talk to that trainer again! Unless he meant everyone was fit apart from those injured

I did notice that neither Moli or Allardice were there yesterday. Brown and Vaa’i were playing at lock, although Ardron was there too at the start. I'd say Thomson is a good chance of being in the 23 as he is a good lineout option. It makes Jacobson even more important in the lineout.

A phone call to BBBR might be needed.

He's already made it clear that he's turned his back. Maybe he's just looking for a spot at the Blues.

Bovidae

@Tim Only wishful thinking on my part. He is back in 2022.

He's too good for the Blues.

@Tim bloody hell Moli!

McNicol is a bit of a joke eh.

how in the fuck is it even possible for an injury situation to get worse over an enforced break? What are these fuckers made of?

Read my mind. FFS they need to sort out the training if you are breaking guys that aren't playing.

Bovidae

There is some good news amongst the big injury toll announced yesterday. After having an operation on his quad (torn VMO muscle) in February, Ta'avao is hoping to be available by the second half of the competition.

@Stargazer The new Blake Gibson.

We might need some of those NRL cardboard cutouts for our forward pack...
