And we play the Giants in rd 1...oh dear

We're in for a tough match even if we're fully fit.

 

[Houston]

Not too worried about Sloane but the Lever injury is a pain.

 

[hey shorty]

And we play the Giants in rd 1...oh dear

Not sure it'll matter. If both teams are at their best it'll be a very tough ask.

 

[Great8]

Probably full of it as normal but heard Rowe say that Brad Crouch has foot issues again aswell as his hammy injury

Bloody hope not!

 

[Crowstar]

If Rowey has said that fair chance Brouch has a broken collarbone

Haha oh god...

If this is even the slightest bit true along with Sloane going down (even though it's a face injury and nothing to get worried about) the melts on here would be phenomenal.

So bad, I'm already considering deactivating just to avoid reading them all.

So the report card is:

Player|JLT Status|Round 1 Status
\Rory Sloane|Unlikely|Likely
\Jake Lever|Will Miss Start|Likely
\Brad Crouch|Will Miss All|May Miss
\Luke Brown|Likely|Likely
\Paul Seedsman|Likely|Likely
\Kyle Cheney|Likely|Likely
\Gun Arms Thompson|Unlikely|Unclear

Interrupted pre-seasons from Sloane, B Crouch and Thompson. Lyons traded.

Early signs that our weak point from last year might be getting weaker not stronger.

Hope Matt Crouch is in good shape!

 

[Great8]

Bloody hope not!

Hope not either, would love to see him have a good crack at it.
I only heard it briefly whilst I was waiting for an appointment but I don't have much faith in Rowey so though one of you guys might know more or if it's true or not

 

[MRB37]

If I remember correctly he was back early as possible when he fractured his cheekbone.

Been Twitter scuttlebutt about it, so he might be getting his info from there.

Good thing is he has done all the work so he won't lose any condition.

 

[Geoffa32]

Cheekbone wasn't it?

Spunds familiar.

He hasn't had any issues for a whole so that would be shattering news. I'm sure the club would have released it by now.

I'd put the tool shed on it

 

[GreyCrow]

I am more excited about Poholke than Gallucci.

I'm neither in nor out on Poholke

David McKay, come on down. You're the next contestant on 'Bring back Burton'

 

[GreyCrow]

1

Nah
Maybe a few more but 5 tackles in his first game IIRC at least showed how desperate he was to play

This was the one thing that stood out for everybody. His desire for the contest. Even the tv/radio people noticed it

 

[Elite Crow]

Brett Burton going to be on 5AA shortly

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Burton on 5aa shortly. Should get confirmation either way

 

[GreyCrow]

how people rate Cheney is a great litmus test to work out if people know what they're talking about or not.

I rate him like Hartigan 2015. Just makes you tear your hair out but you can see he works hard. I am hoping Cheney in 2017 is Hartigan 2016. ie taking that step up

 

[subaru]

And we play the Giants in rd 1...oh dear

Burton says 4-6 weeks
He'll be right for round 1

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Burton sounds pretty unbothered by the injuries.

 

[Elite Crow]

He didnt actually say that, he said should be right around then or something similar so he could be in doubt
