Here we go again - I will have to see if I have any better chance in the ticket raffle this year versus last (zero hone games). I don’t hold much hope though.
With the announcement today, I imagine the teams would be boarding planes and leaving the state before 6pm. I would also imagine that the Panthers v Eels fixture at Bluebet Stadium will be moved to the North Coast of NSW or QLD.
For certain though, you should be expecting an announcement any moment about the match being moved to another venue outside the lockdown bubble.
From NSW Government…
Greater Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Central Coast and Wollongong will enter a lockdown from 6:00pm today until 11.59pm on Friday July 9.
Not much choice of centre backup, choice between 2 plodders. Maybe Tago would be an option? And I know Naden is off-side with the club m, but surely him at centre and someone else at wing would be a better fit.
First I have heard of Edwards being injured, good to see Staines being given a go.
Coach seems to have a real problem with putting the number 7 on Burtons back.
I think the side is a bet ech way. It wouldn’t surprise me at all to see May go to half & partner Luai - which has worked well before, I’m thinking of the Warriors game a few years ago - with Burton in the centres. Naden’s been playing a bit of fullback in NSW Cup, so I think he might be there as cover in case Staines doesn’t work out at the back.
Or, Crighton can go to fullback & Naden slots in at centre. Or a few other possibilities
Plenty of options in the side, so I think Cleary’s covering all bases. I don’t expect the backline will necessarily play the positions named.
I not sure that team will line up the way they are on paper.
Origin was Sunday and they need to name a squad on Tuesday. I think Ivan just out all the players he was thinking of using in the side and work it out during the week.
During SOO II I thought that I heard a commentator say that Cleary hurt his shoulder when hit late (Papali’i?), with no penalty awarded. Did anybody else on this forum hear the same remark?
anyone have an update on Nathans injury and if sidelined how long for?
If he is out we will be really tested not just of ratios game but for all games and shows the enormous hole we are in with no 7 good enough to step up.
May concerns me as does Naden and i like Kevins solution, simply move Crichton to 1 and move Capewell to centre and Martin to start.
This game will be a test but depending on Cleary’s injury may just be the beginning of a very tough run.
reports on NC are that he will not have surgery at this stage & will rehab & miss 4-6 weeks. It is a similar injury to Yeo’s in 2019.
The loss of a players of NC’s level would leave an enormous hole in any team - no team has a player like him available to step-up in case of an injury to the best player in the game. Most clubs can only dream of having a first-choice player anywhere close to him.
At least in the absence of NC (and Dylan) we have the rest of our top players available, and we should be able to perform well. We have a tough game tomorrow & then a bye and then we play warriors and broncos & then hopefully NC will be back.
Not good to have him injured but we need to get the job done with or without him
Pete - the injury definitely occurred when he tried to pass and fell onto his shoulder, it was Munster making the tackle but no malice that i could see, just an unfortunate injury due to a bad landing.
That doesn’t mean the scumbags didn’t notice his injury and targeted him, as you do, but things like late hits are just the norm for QLD. They are a dirty team tactically and that has been handed down for decades, just made worse with the storm impact…
