I think he will play!

ok thanks

I think they are still seeing how he's doing in the next 1/2 days.

Yep. They don't know whether he can play or not this week. Its a 50/50, but in the next 2/3 days, we'll know for sure.

Personally, I think we should give Bazza a rest. Not direspecting the BLions or anything, because i think they're going to be very tough to beat. But we would want our Bazza to fully recover before he can play again. Bring in Vogels, White, Phillips...

If he's not absolutely 100% then i say rest him. I don't want him to play and make the injury worse and possibly have to miss more time because of it.

they will play him, but if he is slightly limited he won't play much game time, and will spend most of the time in the goal square. Expect Grundy to get another game however

Nobody knows if he will play, and nobody will know if he will play until 30 minutes before the game.

Technically absolutely correct! But err... I think he was both fumbling for info and asking for opinion!

Roos said if not next week then definitely the week after!

My guess he will play!

 

[grimlock]

He will definitely be named in the squad.

I think you would get an idea if one of the emergencies does not show up for the reserves game.

If he's not fully fit... I hope not.
It was so bloody painful to watch him come back on the ground on Saturday. We need him for the rest of the season.

 

[bradmanstandguy]

I think he will play on and off the bench. Perhaps using him as pinch hitter sort
of thing,will cause the lions to keep re-orgainising their defensive structure.

Actually bumped into him in the street today so I can report from the horse's mouth that Barry at least thinks he'll play. He wasn't limping at all so I'd say there's a pretty good chance he'll be right.

 

[swantastic]

IMHO Hall should not play,a bit of rest wont hurt him.

Good news (Edit: about BBBH)

Same here. 90% isn't good enough. I thinks its going to make Hall's injury worse or even longer for him to recover. Let him have one week rest before he gets going again. Throw in some young guns who need the experience. When our key forwards retire, will the young guns be able to step up and fill in the shoes? I'd hope they can. Experience is needed, and we need to take every single opportunity/chance to give our young guns experience before its too late.

Actually I was in the car, so a bit of panel beating & it should be sorted.

I understand the desire to play it safe with Hall, but honestly you wouldn't have guessed there was anything wrong with him. I think the Sydney medical team has done enough to deserve our confidence.

 

[Tuco]

Hall has played a number of games in a fair amount of pain in recent years, but usually these efforts were in the latter stages of the year. But if he's 90% that is good enough to play. I wouldn't mark him too hard on how he performs for us though.

Give him a rest .Why work an injured player especially someone like him .The finals are won in Sept not in April .

Exactly. I don't want Hall to sustain that injury come finals time. Hall should rest and give other youngesters opportunities. Better to be safe than sorry.
