Opinion Injury replacements

[Old Man JB]

He would go better than Knight and Potato

Completely different fitness level required. would need to make 20 to 40 tackles a game. He is a very good prospect on the wing though and a bit unlucky that we have Wilson and Tracey in very good form. JAC needs to pull his socks up as I reckon he is the number one choice only because of his reputation atm.

Put Skelton on the bench regardless. When we lose an outside back during the game it’s disruptive and if we don’t he can come on and run a muck for 15-20mins …not like we are wasting a spot or interchange cos Ciro hasn’t been good with in game adjustments and some players recently have only played 12-15 min (Patolo and Knight)

Clubs used to be able to apply for an exemption to play players outside the top 30, in case of a drastic injury toll,early in the year. Is this still the case . . . TwinTurbo ??

Yes, we can still apply to the NRL for an exemption to play a player outside the Top 36. What's different this year is it is 36, not 30, so it's going to be that much harder to get an exemption.

Going off stats from the NSW cup boys who would you bring in to replace injuries?

JOASH PAPALII- 1 try, 161 metres, 5 tackle busts, 1 linebreak, 14 tackles 0 misses 0 errors.

JERAL SKELTON- 1 try, 302 metres 102 post contact, 10 tackle busts, 2 line breaks 6 tackles, 3 misses, 1 error.

JACK TODD- 46 minutes, 158 run metres, 4 tackle busts, 1 linebreak, 31 tackles 1 miss, 0 errors.

LIAM KNIGHT- 101 metres, 2 tackle busts, 2 offloads, 40 tackles 2 misses, 0 errors.

Despite all the injuries if Kikau and King are fit to play we would still have a strong line up good enough to win !
All it would takes is some brave selections !

Yeah king and Kikau are huge losses so hopefully they’re fit to play. Haven’t seen nothing else about Kikau so fingers crossed

I haven't seen an Official NRL list, but from memory it's something like;

Bayley Hayward (he is on the 31 list, but as far as I know his 2024 Contract is Supplementary)
Harrison Edwards
Joseph O'Neill
Joash Papalii
Kurtis Morrin
Mitchell Woods (his contract is for Top 30 in 2025)
