Official Injury updates

Just saying he is not soft mate, may lack other areas but he is not soft
I think we need to be firmer with who they choose based on form. We can’t be too sentimental and loyal with what some serve up, we want to move up the ladder, not stay where we were last year. Maybe I’m a bit hard on Okunbor, but I just like you want our team to start being a success again. Baz has a lot of pressure to win games this year, I’m not the only one that thinks that - his career depends on it. Maybe he’s too nice to his players, but that won’t win games.

I’m not disagreeing just saying he isn’t soft. He isn’t the answer we all no that

He lacks the ability to be a winger. The only thing he offers is height. Which is useless anyways cause he’s too slow to contest kicks and can’t catch them anyways. I think we should try Burns and Lumelume
 
Medically retire RFM and go buy a ball playing lock.

It seems like we're a club that loves giving guys with running injury issues the best chance to get through things. I mean both Burns, King and Cook were recruited probably on the cheap because they've struggled to remain healthy for numerous years. I'm not sure if RFM will be here for another contract. But if our recent history is anything to go by he'll probably be here another few years even if he's just in the physio rooms.
 
Anyone know what the deal is with Corey Allen? Worlds longest hamstring strain recovery.
 
Buy a big Hethrington replacement.

What's the latest update on the injury list ? Would like to know on Allen and rfm
 
If Allen was 100% fit ,he is still miles away . . . Cant wait to see RFM again though
Yer agree with Allan. And agree with rfm I hope for he sake he can come good again when he was fit for us he was hard to handle I for one will be glad when he is back hopefully means the end of Waddell and stimson

I cant see us re-signing RFM though, At least he will get a chance to impress his next employer ,which can only be good for us

Terrible news for Billy wanted to see him play more first grade. Hopefully next year. I’d be surprised if TPJ is rushed back next week unless he’s doing contact at training this week.
