Ben Smith to Miss 3 Months

I have credible information that Ben Smith will have surgery today on his injured pectoral muscle and will miss approximately 3 months of Rugby League. He will be available for selection again by about the 12th Round.

  • I think Ben Smiths injury could be a blessing in disguise.we have alot of depth in forwards and there are lot of younger players that could use the experience.
    Also Smith could be back for the second half of the season.
    • I think this will be another excuse for fans to say we had a bad year because of injuries? We need to fire up parra no more excuses boys lets win this thing
  • 3 months is much better than 6! Ben Smith is a solid player for us but we can still go well without him, he's not a game breaker for us although we will miss his defence.

    • Let's just hope they don't replace him with someone who can't defend.
    • im pretty sure 12 rounds = half the season less the 2 byes.

      And parra wont just rush him back so if he comes back it will be more like round 16.

       

      • i hope the replacement can defend well, but also have an attacking side to them

  • Unless he's out for the season I don't think there are any concessions.
  • Concessions work on % of games missed. With certain threshholds to be broken in order to qualify for any concession. As far as I know there are only two thresholds at 50% and 100% that I know of there may be more. So you need to miss >50% of games to receive the 50% concession and 100% of games to be eligible for the 100% concession
