If it is his kicking foot, we saw how much of the kicking Brooks took last time.  Probably a sign of things to come.  Who says later in the year he doesn't play the last few rounds because Tigers are fucked and coach wants to bleed fresh blood or Doueihi takes over.  No point playing on it for nothing later on and gets an early mark for the year to heal it.

Because it’s a nerve injury mate they don’t go away fast they hang around are a nuisance and it’s on his kicking foot.

Been on the fence with trading him out, leaning towards out at the moment. Get some funds ready for papy next week

Just from playing a game where all you are doing is kicking a ball I can’t remember a foot injury that’s ever stopped me from doing it for 90 minutes. Once your playing it all fades away an ya can deal with the owwieess later.

Fully understand those trading him though just don’t think I will just yet

Being able to witness Steph Curry in the NBA feels like a once in a lifetime type thing, he is phenomenal.

You look at what Nadal has been able to achieve in similar circumstances. They should chat with his doctor.

Literally changing the way the game will be played for years to come. Probably a top 5 all timer when it's all said and done

It's a nerve injury mate, not a bruise etc. Remember him a few weeks back at HT? Bloke was nearly in tears due to the pain. From that footage too, it seems the nerve issue is potentially radiating down to his foot, rather than a direct foot issue. If that's true then it's an even longer recovery - every time he runs with the issue, let alone plays a game, he will re-aggrivate and delay healing. There's a reason the lad was just directing traffic the other week and not kicking. Even if he grits his teeth and rips a 50 this week, I wouldn't be surprised to see him out the next.

The 3 point% and ability to hit a 3 in certain moments, positions is astounding, plus he still has street ball/off the cuff in his game (a little) like he showed today, which still looks like he is in full control of and uses it to escape and throw the defense, dazzling. Whether it be Rugby league, Basketball, Football, he is a joy to watch as a sportsmen.

Pick one of Hastings, Butcher or Mam to play?

Well then just don’t play at all if it’s really that bad. The club has other options.
If you’re going out there to play at 70% for the boys around you then that shouldn’t cut it.

I think moreso than his ability on the field, they need his voice. Maybe he comes good, maybe he doesn't. All part of the game.

That’s fair. We will definitely see tomorrow where he’s at

Ben Turbo in the 17 for anyone who has him and looking at looping or needs an extra 7 points this week

Can't wait for Hastings to put up a 70 this week.

Interesting. I don't mind him really. He calls with eloquence, articulation and vivacity. I'll admit sometimes with grandiloquence, but I don't mind it.

Thought he was better on radio tbh
