All long term injuries because of foul play.
Seems a little unfair. Surely the NRL needs to consider some sort of compensation for this injustice. They need to step in. A team like ours needs some kind of help.
I feel for the players. Foul play ends a good chunk of their season.
Other concerns from today:
Russell - Concussion.
Foxx - looked like he copped a rib injury.
Moses - look to struggle with groin.
Pezet - Hamstring

Considering all three were deemed to be foul play, yeah exemption is necessary there. In that case we could get a Winger from another club.
But we stuck it to the NRL at the start of the year. Give it a 0.01% chance of them givng anything to us. The refs make it clear lol.
I still stand by what we did though. The fact the NRL do that is fraud pretty much as they should be neutral.
Ryley smith also went off in golden point. Couldn't walk.
The fight from the boys was unbelievable. To play 50 odd minutes with no recognised centre. Basically half a game with a hooker at 5/8 and 25 minutes with no right winger or right centre.
The effort deserved some points. Some key mistakes from players. Williams dropped ball and Pezel early kick come to mind. Kelma and Kelly drops. But some calls that were so crucial.
1.Jack Williams trying to play the ball with 3 people on him and gets tackled. That should be a professional foul and 10 in the bin.
2. Blatant strip on Kelly. Lead straight to points.
3. Head clash penalty. Lead straight to points.
4. Blatant knock on, on half way late in the game ignored.
5. Not a high tackle from Tuivati.
All pretty crucial calls against us.
Another area of concern is Hooker. We have nothing behind Da Silva. If Smith is out, can Da Silva play full 80? Doubt it, we need another Hooker.
