Jamar Injured?

[Wise Guy Sam]

Has there been any even remotely official statement regarding this?

None at all.

Imagine if Deano is just playing funny buggers

EDIT From twitter

Mark Jamar set to miss four to six weeks with knee injury: http://bit.ly/jBjsZU

Realistically Gawn MUST come in if Martin cannot play,

we can't risk having a 193cm ruckman against Goldstein, we will be slaughtered in the ruck all day

From what i know about him he is not not not ready in terms of strength and conditioning, would be very likely to injure himself and delay his development IMO. Not worth it.

Anyone else thinking it might be worth risking Watts with spurts in the ruck?

The real tragedy here is that Jamar out comes along with injuries to Spencer, Fitzpatrick and Martin.

We can't always rely on Jamar, and if he missed 5 weeks and then returned it might really help the development of our young back up rucks. Instead it seems will either be scraping the bottom of the barrel or chucking in Gawn, who I really don't think should be risked.

Around the ground, yes. At centre bounces, not for mine.

In a word, no.

He's an option for forward line rucking & even took a few on the weekend, but anything other that is too big a risk.

Very true. It actually is a laughable (except I'm not laughing) coincidence, feeling like the club is cursed right now.

What a crap week. Couldn't have left the G on Sunday happier. Since then, Grimes goes for the season, Trengove gets 3 for nothing and now our most important player gone for a month. This is bull s**t.
