    Sad on both accounts if true, and we still need a halfback.

      a bit selfish to say this but Walker's injury probably will help us resigning him.

        I do wonder how the ACL will effect Walkers contract, and whether it makes him more or less likely to stay.
        Good points there.

          Unlike you I have seen Sandon play since his days in the regional junior comps - Andrew Johns and Laurie Daley cups for the Central Coast Roosters. You would not have heard of him before he started playing NRL

          Sandon will do his best

          Since you mentioned the great game of Baseball - Spencer Schwellenbach was a Braves squad Short Stop before being converted into a pitcher - a starting pitcher too - 97 MPH Fast Ball

            You never know I guess.
            Sure we'll be competitive...won't lose by 30+ etc

            But to beat Penrith & Melbourne in a finals series without our half & hooker is a bridge too far.

            What injuries are to follow from the Souffs game now I wonder.

            One game destroyed our last best chance in a while.

              If I wasn't depressed enough.
              he's contracted to us next season and should get at least a couple of months before finals. the challenge is to make sure we're competitive without him.

              yeah, big opportunity for sandon. the stakes are higher now than they will be at the beginning of next season but there's less pressure on him now than there will be next year. if he can hold his own we can jag a couple more wins

                How confident are you mate? I think the Walker to the Broncos call is the most low hanging fruit word vomit I've ever seen from a clearly biased media who have an obvious dog in the fight given Brisbane are run by News Corp.

                Dylan Brown is an excellent player so wouldn't be the worst thing.

                  I think Dylan Brown has been left a bit exposed without Mitchell Moses.

                  Sam Walker should be resigned ASAP- he deserves it

                    I'm just trying to be positive mate. It's only a game of footy.

                      Connor and Kez in the halves next few weeks.
                      sandon ans zdc in the 9
                      Wong in for Rads
                      that the way i look at it

The focus for Sandon should be early ball to our strike players. Manu is a weapon but he needs good ball. Sandon's running game should create time and space for him.

                        I have faith in our pack. May to start with Spencer off the bench. Whyte is so close to a major break out game. Teddy needs to show better leadership and keep things calm and on track. Collins needs to go up a gear.

                        I'm starting to feel better now.
                        ZDK came on and his first pass found the ground and wasn't close to finding his mark. He is bog average and there is a reason why he has played next to no first grade football in all the years he has been around

                          We need a half in the halves mate is Kez going to do all the general kicking on top of creating attacking chances? Keary cannot do it alone he has barely fired a shot this year and some of his kicks for Toops were woeful way off the mark, weaken the ruck where Connor has excelled all season long?

                          I don’t understand how weakening multiple positions benefits us. Sandon to 7 is the only logical move here Conor remains at hooker spelled by ZDC Wong Spencer and ZDC to bench bring in young Steep he’s very capable maybe unleash one of the Vaa boys Napa possibly we’re stretched wafer thin for that 17 spot a debut maybe on the cards.

                          Spencer
                          Steep/Vaa/Napa

                          When ZDC comes on he spells Connor who in turn moves to lock to spell Whyte.

                          That team has question marks on the fitness of players also. I think that’s the best possible lineup atm

                          18th man take a pick Pauga/King/Marky Mark

                              Until Billy gets through a game unscathed he’s injured.
