  • The article says it could be 3-6 weeks or 3-6 months. NRL physio and lurker both have no idea about the extent of the injury.

  • Not surprising, he's injury prone.

  • Get the surgery done, get it fixed.

  • The 9's concept is a joke. These guys train to play 1 80 min game per week for 30 weeks...

    Not 6 18 min games over 2 days, mickey mouse half oztag half rugby league bullshit. It completely goes against their training and what theyre conditioning their bodies for. To the novice it might seem like no big deal, but the risk of injury would be that much higher that it's not worth the trouble. I would love it if we sent a NSW cup side to this stupid event, but knowing BA and what he's done in the past, he'll send close to our best side there. Pray for no more injuries as the last one is already going to significantly impact Nathan Brown and Waqa Blake's offseasons.

    As a player you would probably rather play in that than train. As a game , the decision makers should be protecting the players and 1 9s in the offseason and 1 in the preseason is far too much and not needed.

    • I agree. NRL is big business now. These Mickey Mouse rep games deliver nothing but risk to Nrl  clubs who pay the wages

  • Im sure parry can do a fine job with a good pre season under his belt
