Radley cleared to play

[Thirteen]

Huge in for us he completely nullified Olakau’atu last time out vs Manly and he’s a big attacking threat for Manly who probably will be relying more on him as Turbo looks hurt.

Completely nullified as Olakawatu didn’t play. He was suspended.

[Rooster90]

My concern is if the first attempt to tackle Olakau'atu he hurts himself again - we are down to 16 for the entire game.

I hope Robbo has learnt from when he played a 50% fit Toops off the bench and we got steamrolled

[Keith]

It’s not a good idea

[Vasco]

Big risk but Robbo knows more than us.

Wow... fractured scapula?... amazing recovery. Good luck Victor & team. All or nothing now.

Hopefully it's not a Wong Decision

[King Salvo]

We don't know the size/length of the fracture - Cronk's was reportedly 16 cm's in length which is a fair size fracture.

I did read that Tedesco's and Josh Reynolds fractures were around 4 cm's and they returned to play after 4 weeks and 5 weeks out - Reynolds lasted 4 games - Tim Mannah also came back after 4 weeks out but re-aggravated the injury and missed a further 8 weeks

So it is a fair risk to play him as it would not have healed in 3 weeks.

Big risk but Robbo knows more than us.

He also knew more than us that time we rushed Tupou back from a groin injury for a finals match,only for him to succumb to the injury during the game..

Hope this time it’s a better outcome both injury wise and on the scoreboard!

[fletch]

You can bet that Manly will have the likes of Brown and Lodge testing out that injury.

That’s okay. We made it clear we would target Cleary’s injury last week.

[MCMLXVI]

He will not be playing this game. Robbo is bluffing just to get Manly to waste time planning how to counter him and how to target his injury.

[JAF]

Same as us wanting to test Turbo out.

For all we know, Turbo could re-injure his shoulder in the first minute and rubbed out for the rest of the game.

It’s a semi final so I believe the risk is worth taking as we don’t want to die wondering!

Robbo takes advice from the medical team. He doesn't make the decision as to whether a player is able to play, they do. If the medical team declare Rads fit, then Robbo is going to pick him. If he didn't pick Rads when he has been declared fit by the Docs, and we lost this week, you'd all be calling for his head for NOT playing him.

[The Brain]

Left field for me but if fit enough we need him to play hooker .That's where I would be playing ..jas the game to feed and balance Sandon's lack of experience.If Robbo jas half a footy brain.

I’m NOT calling for anyone’s head either way,chill out..
You’re obviously ready to fire at anyone who you think is having even a slight dig at the Coach,but you’re off the mark on this one..
My point was that hopefully it doesn’t backfire on us like previous years!
Hope that’s ok with you..
