Chins up fellas, long season ahead.

Yea spot on

Here we go, good luck owners.

If there is no improvement to E Butcher in the second half, might look to bring in Wilton for him.

I keep shoving all-in with bad players and can't bluff my way to a win though..

Players have done ACLs etc only 5 or 10mins into games before, why is a head injury any different. And what if a player plays 75mins and plays shit but gets a HIA with 5mins to go? You get to switch him?

Cam of worms. It will never happen anyway

It's a good point, but I rekon other injuries are more subjective and there's not much you can do there. A hia is clear cut as it's actually registered as that with match officials when leaving field.

There's a chance it might happen. Just need someone like lone scout with an inside line to have a horror run caused by hias or something and get fed up with it. They'll certainly never listen to their fans unfortunately

I always had EButch in my starting side with the thought that I can trade down to the best option during their bye, as I have Teddy.

At the moment it will be Walsh, it would have been Garner for R4 but the Bunnies are going to destroy the Chooks next round.

Oh fuck, sorry was incorrect on Cheese. NZ coverage was wrong.

That’s a good argument, but to be fair, the NRL has set the precedent that there is a difference, NRL teams get to activate their 18th man if they suffer 2 failed HIA’s but they don’t if they suffer any other 2 game-ending injuries (except for foul play)

Ooohhh Cheese didn't look good there, that was pain face

That shot of him on the sideline was great, does not want to be back out there.

Teddy 37 at half time, Warriors tiring, lets go the banner

I don't think the Warriors look any more tired than the Roosters at this point.

Smith did not look good there on the sideline.

Unable to watch live, what happened to Ford?

Cheese injured or just shit?

Ford failed HIA

Both for Cheese, his ribs clearly hindering him

I think its gonna happen at some point this half, Teddy only needs 10 seconds for a 30 point play

Will quite happily turn him into BMM and turn a shitter outside back into Walsh
