Kimmorley out for a month.

[TheGeneral]

how do you know its 5 weeks, my mate fractured his cheekbone played 2 weeks later. pain killers hell be rite for week 1 of finals. its BK i mean common

 

[Benji Bulldog]

I reckon we shouldn't bring holdsworth in just play Stagg at 5/8 like we are today.

 

[astroboy]

Barba in for Kimmorley

 

[ck246]

Didn't andrew Johns say his eye socket is fractured.

 

[Aristidiz]

Didn't andrew Johns say his eye socket is fractured.

Yeah they said it could require surgery.

 

[magdog]

faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark !

 

[wyongguy]

big lose, but we wll see what happens

 

[Aristidiz]

This is why we should have bled Barba more earlier in the season. Now the only option we are left with is Holdsworth.

 

[Toro]

The reports coming through are still saying it's a *suspected* fracture...

Shouldn't we wait until the scans have confirmed the injury?

 

[Marioo]

Daniel Holdsworth since the 2004 grand final was the closest thing to leading us to a grand final

Ben Barba wont win us a grand final

I believe in DJ and Roberts, completely different side then last year, with Ennis leading the way and Patten there (he was out all last year) I think we still have what it takes to win the comp without Noddy (it will just be harder).

Even though if he has surgery, I think it is type of injury you can play with in grand final or do or die match, lets not count him out.

 

[OITENTA-E-NOVE]

played well without him today. ennis was mint played his 2nd best game of the year.

 

[Mitch Connor]

no ****ing way would i pick ben barba and throw him into the 7.

 

[TheGeneral]

I rekon hell play preliminary finals. Until then roll the dice on the man they Call Benny ''the kid'' Barba

 

[ThePedigree]

Lets not get carried away guys. We should wait til he has scans for a start. And also remember that we have the best medical team in the NRL. Look at how everyone has come back from injury early this year. I'm still holding hope.

 

[OITENTA-E-NOVE]

6. Roberts - Left
7. Holdsworth - Right

 

[sgodllubsti]

its bad luck of the worst kind for kimmorley and the bulldogs, however,,,,, how many of us expected the bulldogs to be this competitive this season.

while i am disapointed our chances of making the grand final are now slimmer, i am no less worried.

the bulldogs have had a great season

 

[Chicharito]

 

[OITENTA-E-NOVE]

looks like they will play alot closer to the ruck and play in the line the forwards passing games were awsome today except hickey who ddnt pass to haz lol

 

[_G-Dog_]

K Moore just saying Noddy has cheekbone fracture, will have surgery tonight or 2moro morning

[ThePedigree]

After watching barba about 5-6 times this year I can stand here and say that he is not ready. He can not lead a team around and neither can Roberts. Even though dj knocks on quite a bit, he's our best option.
