For the Warriors:
- Wayde Egan (elbow) is considered a week to week proposition - likely to return sometime in the next 1-3 weeks but will depend how he progresses with rehab
- Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad is still 2-3 weeks away as he continues rehab for a hamstring/back issue

Tl;dr you see him as a season keeper so who cares if he makes or loses money?

Broncos forum seems to think Haas is playing, and they're usually on the money with injuries if nothing else. Kevvie interview saying Haas went for knee scans but they didn't find anything much there. Don't know if that's a good or a bad thing.

I expected pre season that he'd get dropped at some stage and not too long after ask for a release. I thought it'd be further into the season than now but one to keep an eye on

People think May will be benched this week. It might happen or it might not

But Robinson doesn't strike me as the kind of person to start a guy just because its a milestone game if it will in any way hurt his chances of winning.

Brisbane coach Kevin Walters has declared superstar prop Payne Haas an almost certain starter in a boost for the Broncos ahead of Thursday night’s clash against the Panthers.
There were fears Haas could join skipper Adam Reynolds (knee) on the sidelines after Brisbane’s chief enforcer failed to train on Sunday with a knee complaint that flared during Brisbane’s round 2 defeat of South Sydney.
But Walters remains confident Haas will be on deck for the grand-final replay. The NSW Origin enforcer will be named in the starting side and will get the green light if he trains well at Brisbane’s captain’s run on Wednesday.
“We will make a final decision on tomorrow but at this stage Payne is going to play,” Walters said.
“It’s not a serious issue.
“He ran by himself the other day with the rehab group, but as it stands Payne will be playing.
“We’ll see how he pulls up after the captain’s run but unless there’s a major change Payne will be there.”

Who could've imagined the buy of the week being a $574k bench middle?

Poor woman. I try not to post things I shouldn't but I feel like the writing is probably on the wall with this one

Some good young guns coming through if we can hold onto them. Cody Hopwood, Jermaine Mcewen, Beau Slade, Wilson De Courcey, Connor Votano and more who I'd give a fair chance of making NRL

Did any of you see Wilson's hit online in their game against Manly a few weeks ago? Got a fair bit of air time. All time hit. Poor kid left in an ambulance

EDIT: Only video I could find. Doesn't quite do it justice but worth a watch https://www.tiktok.com/@nrlknights/video/7342406728190840072

Easy to say for me as a Hosking owner already but would be very brave to bring him in now without seeing what happens on Whitehead's return.

As speculated by others on here I reckon Whitehead on the bench is a likely scenario and takes ~20mins from Hosking. 60mins of Hosking for $700k? And there is still a much worse case scenario possible where Hosking goes to the bench (yes despite the fact we can all see he is a gun player - it's Ricky).

I'm all for a game as tough as possible, but that type of hit on a defenceless catcher is a bit ordinary really. You can take him out of play without try to kill him.

the hit was fair he smashed him good nothing wrong with it...as for the severity of it i disagree with you bro league is about the smash & bash if you can take out the opposition legally that's the aim of the game.

There's a few of you on here that love to take pot shots, but cry like babies when I bite back. He called me a jerk. Unprovoked.

He included me in a rebuke at B/L that I had nothing to do with. I didn't 'aggressively abuse' Matt at any point. I had a humorous dig at him.

If you can find any abuse I directed at him, show it, and I'll apologise. Otherwise, why don't you just butt out and stick to fantasy?

That's what I do.
