I hope Burr can play too hopefully there is not any ligaments or nerves cut by the saw. Unfortunately Lachy can have bad hands at the best of times let alone after cutting his hand as badly as it sounds.Mate if Lachie Burr plays this week ( and believe me he is dead set serious about wanting to) it will be a miracle. Did significant damage to his hand due to a drop saw incident ( he is a chippie) and required a skin graft. He was so restless on the bench and you could see that he was so disappointed not to be out there.
Now I had a skin graft after an accident where I lost half of the left big toe and I was bed ridden for two weeks as blood flow to the area can cause the graft to float off. Need to keep it elevated and decrease the blood flow. Maybe, just maybe a week might be a stretch but he is one super brave guy if he does play....of course the surgeon/ Dr will have the final say.
I would love it if he played as he has been steady this year and creates a lot of go forward off the bench. I wish him well and I have my fingers crossed that he is fit enough but it would be a tremendous risk.
We are so lucky that we have a few options in relation to replacing Frawley and will likely do the swap of Brown to half, Woolford to hooker and we have Bronson Garlick on the bench. We are under strength for this one with possibly three ( Frawley, Fine definitely ) and Burr out.
Did they make any comment on the broadcast about the St Merge trainer who ran across in front of our kicker when he was lining up conversions ( happened twice and nearly a third time except he went behind and then to the goal line). Don't know if you heard it but we were very vocal in relation to it, even the bench applauded us.
I know it is only ISP and it would have been better if first grade had made the finals but I am just so excited that at least we might snag a premiership in 2018, even ISP.
We didn’t seem to miss a beat with Frawley off and hopefully with a full week of training the boys can get the combinations to gel. I’d just stick to what we had after Frawley came off. There’s absolutely no chance of Lewis playing.
They made a massive deal about the training running across on the coverage. They only showed him doing it once however.
It’s good for the club to be getting back to making lower grade grand finals we used to be regularly in them pre Des!
