Spoke to him a few days ago...he reckons a couple of weeks..looked lean and mean. Make of that what you will.
Apparently he had a big preseason, need him or any prop back asap...
They need to do something different this tlt or they are going to kill max king! Also Kiraz is playing awesome but I think he is coming in too much. For example when Preston made a half break and his hand went into touch if kiraz was on his wing we would have had an overlap. That being said he probably created the opportunity from his run, but I think there is a risk of some missed points from him being Caught in field.
The beauty of these errors are that they are minor tweaks with greater results. Some things to work on.
Thats what Ciraldos game plan is the backs taking more hit ups so its taking the pressure off of the forwards.
I hope he forces us to drop his "potato" nickname...
So did thommo and tpj expecting big things from all three but doesn’t help if they can’t get on the park
I think Burton's future is at lock & young halves Oloapu, Rajab & Papali'i creating opportunities.

Always a Bulldog
Kiraz is making up for the lack of go forward atm. Has been a huge factor for us
Yeah, I wonder about half these updates...
It's calf muscle/tendon injury, they are a bastard to rehabilitate, almost as bad as hamstrings. Predicting the rehab time frame is a lottery, especially when there is an underlying cause, which seems to be the case with TPJ.
Might as well send Thompson packing now, what's the point keeping him, what a waste of money!!
He's on our Cap, nothing will change there, so why the fark wouldn't we play him.
Yeah, of course. Just means we need to take all these updates with a large grain of salt.
Because we will be in a battle for top in round 14 so once we get him back it will give us an edge
