  • Yeah nothing you can do if 11-12 first graders are out weekly, just not going to be competitive atp 

    • Omg! This is getting beyond it now!

      I do not understand why the NRL cannot grant cap exemption at all?? It's beyond illogical at very least to support parra's great nrl fan base!!

      frckn curse!

       

  • So at this point the team that runs out against the Dogs could if injuries were magically disappeared be bolstered by:

    Iongi, Simmonson, Pezet, Hopgoode, Kautoga, Tuilagi, Tuivati, Doorey

    We actually don't need to say those additions make a premiership threat. Only that no team can really threaten to compete when half of what at season beginning was imagined to be in their starting 17 is missing

    • Yep, you can't even keep up with nrl sides if you have that many regulars out. You'll just get overpowered 

    • To be fair the Dogs also have Max King (rep player), Stephen Crichton (rep player and captain), Leo Thompson (rep player), Josh Curran and Mitch Woods out.

      3 rep players and their captain out. Plus a couple of others.

      We have more quantity out. I'd wager they have substantially more quality out.

      • Xerri had already been replaced by Tuala, so the Dogs are without one first choice centre, and that is it for their backs. By contrast the Eels go into the Dogs game without their first choice fullback and 5/8 (half their spine), and about their third choice winger. In the forwards the Dogs will be missing their first choice props (King and Thompson) and a utility forward (Curran), whereas the Eels will be missing their entire backrow (Kautoga, Tuilagi, Hopgood) and two props (Doorey and Tuivati) or an entire pack (bar hooker) to replace. 

        To be fair, there is no comparison!

  • And that injury again came from foul play. Jayden Campbell hip drop he was put on report for.

    • The team that isn't injured would win easily.
