No, he doesn’t exist …. These injuries are a cover up

 

[Tygrys]

153 pages on a player yet to play a single senior game...what's the record?

Just needs more conditioning... another 40 weeks with Serpell should do it.

[Lord of the Wings]

The whole club had gone to shit since Balmey left

Simmons missed first year, second year won rookie of the year.

 

[Bojangles17]

who cares! He has to be ready by March 2026 not December 2025! Have some faith fellow tigers
If it turns out to be a bust so be it. you win some you lose some. Conca anyone?

He played near 200 games , not sure I see the parallels , am I missing something

 

[Calcium Man]

Will be the greatest tiger to have never played a game.

Already gone past Yarran

Dean Putt

 

[partycorolla]

Don't send me your workout video before you have a session in the dungeon... it's too much insight into your life. Maybe that is what Josh needs though.

 

[juss]

Why dont we just bite the bullet and send him overseas to that elite sporting facility in Doha to get him sorted?

if we got heppel we wouldnt have had a dynasty

heppell commanded softness from his team mates

dumma wouldve gone crazy

He doesn’t fit on planes. Fly the specialist here, plenty of calfs in Australia too.

 

[Punt Road Feral]

This is really hard to fathom and is borderline a piss take.

He’s gone from doing plenty of running around at PRO and from all reports was looking good only a few days ago to then rocking up to day 1 of official pre season and then being declared a major issue and missing the entire pre season.

Surely he must’ve been feeling pain or discomfort leading into this and the club would’ve monitored every running session he was doing in the off season considering his history in 2025.
