F*%k this f@&king game!!!

Now, here I am going "we won't win a game"

F&$k!!!!!!!!

I know it's Monday but I am getting drunk.

Ps: sorry for the over the top meltdown

Not only is Richy a massive loss in his own right but now someone else will cop the tag Rich received.

everyone settle the * down i have a feeling about the game this week ok

Hanley probably our next best penetrating and pinpoint kick? Dono. Guessing he will get a tag. Or will share with with Rocky.

A good feeling??

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

A good feeling??

yes

 

[Monterronaldo]

Absolutely gutted to hear the news. Hope he comes back hungrier than ever next year!

It's instances like these which really make you admire someone like redden who has played 101 consecutive games

 

[James North]

Biggest bummer about this is that the player who looks most like a lion is now not in the senior team.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Terrible news...

 

[cotter101]

So with our game plan requiring good kicks..... What's Josh Drummond up to these days?

 

[Lionator]

I'm gutted also as I know every game has just got a lot harder. However I am excited by the opportunity this presents another young player on our list.

The challenge for any coach is to get games in the young guys. This has become easier without Dan.
I just hope Leppa doesn't fall into the trap of focussing on every week and keeps a long term approach.

For all of our sakes LA, I hope it's not the same feeling you had before SB XLVIII...

No actually I did have an odd feeling before that one

wishing you a fast & healthy recovery Daniel
he will be fine & you guys will also be OK

Thankfully he's still healthy enough to share a smoothie recipe.

Confirmed that it will be the traditional rather than LARS option. Not that it was likely to be LARS. Also only ACL and no other damage which is good.

 

[Brisbane2013]

Sums up our season

Long and painful

:/

On hols so just found out. Unsurprising but still s**t news. Our most damaging player (if utilised correctly), IMO.

Pretty amazing video showing still of Richie mid-surgery, conversations with the surgeon etc. I don't think we've ever seen something like this from the club have we?

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Hopefully will get a good preseason then
