Riccardi suddenly appears on the injury list!

That’s not looking good… happened near the end of the game. I thought it might have been the medial in his knee.

We are in a very precarious position with rucks at the moment. Briggs has landed back at primary ruck due to unavailability. But we only have him and Aleer for probably another month. Another ruck injury and we will have Callum brown rucking (he still might be backup this week)

I guess it opens the way for Aleer to return, if he's recovered. Otherwise, Brown to continue as the backup.

It says he’s a test but last week Kingsley said he was two weeks off, so not confident it’ll be this week. Geez we need him against Gawn.

Hopefully Aleer is fit and plays. Gives us a couple of ways to attack max

has remarkably spent the last five weeks playing with a broken foot after an incident in the Sydney Derby.

Greene fractured the fifth metatarsal in his foot after being stepped on during the Swans' victory over the Giants on April 17, but has soldiered on despite the injury for more than a month.

The fifth metatarsal is the long bone on the outside of the foot, connecting to the little toe.

Damn. Best case 6 weeks.

That hurts. We need Aleer to stay healthy and certainly will need a fit Jesse after the bye.
