[giantroo]

Has done something to his left knee. In the hands of the trainers.

 

[The Warlord]

s**t.

 

[giantroo]

Knee strapped and running now.

 

[The Warlord]

More of your fake news?

No, this is real.

No, this is real.

So is he back out there running? As in the game? Like, he's OK?

Match is done. He presented after the match. Just doing normal running tests.

Cool, hopefully OK.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Precautionary, I hope.

 

[Kimbo]

Precautionary, I hope.

Two ACLs... I’d take whatever precautions are needed.

Jumping over from the training thread, where 75-77-96-99 mentioned they’d spoken to Paul and he’s definitely going to be playing off half back.

If he gets plays that defensively unaccountable loose half back role that other clubs go with, calling it now, he’ll get 30 a week.

Just hope it's not 30kg a week. That'd mean he's regained all his lost weight.

And in one game too!!!

He’s the player you want it to get 30 times a week.
he’ll carve teams up with his foot skills.

He’s already shown to be able to rack up the ball. I can’t see them using him as a defense type, reckon he’ll play a purely creative role.

Who's the last HBFer we've had to play as a purely attacking option?

Ahern end of last year. Before that we played a loose intercept mark.

in some respects, he is the forgotten man. He has the potential to be the best of the young brigade.
We haven’t seen any of them put on a performance like the eagles game in Hobart.

Ryan Clarke.

Spot on - I was at that game, sitting in the pocket where he made a 90 degree poke kick off his left between two converging defenders to find one of our forwards. He looked like a player who had found his game and the switch was flicked.

I don't think it's been all his fault that he hasn't gone on with it, but it's definitely all there. Hopefully Shaw and the new boys can help bring it back out.

If our midfielders are going to push back, then he can possibly get off the chain.

Reckon they will. Shaw has said we’re going to be more defensively minded.

I reckon it would serve to nullify Paul's weaknesses and promote his strengths.

J-Mac would also benefit from this set up.
