Cordner gone for 3 months torn pec

[Guest]

had to chuckle saw someone posted that Cordner tore his pec while carrying all the brown paper bags Uncle Nick handed out for extending his contract.

Well that is something like $1.8m sitting on the sidelines for the first couple of months at least and probably the top 2 candidates for being the captain this year.

We are farrked now!

This is devastating news and I hope that Boyd Cordner can make a speedy recovery.

I have been told he is a fast healer.

This season is now officially a write off.

I will be a miracle if we make the finals.

Vincent Leuluai will get a shit in my opinion. TR has had him 18th man a few times and if he has trained well in the off season should get a crack. Would like to think Guerra will come out firing as well

Ryan Matterson & Mitchell Frei will come into calculations as well.

Its going to be a tough ask without our strike back-row forward and JWH out to start the season.

Add to that our depth lacking with the highest 5 day turn arounds out of all NRL teams you can see some tough periods ahead.

Im honestly trying to focus on positives regarding the development of Dylan Napa, Issac Lui 4th Year in 1st Grade, Kane Evans and SST now emerging.

I expected another push for the Premiership, but its looking more likely we're going through a re-tool of the squad and looking towards 2017-18 as years we drive up recruitment and challenge.

Guerra and Aubbo are good 80min players, with Interchange low (down to 8) maybe we will play a faster game plan with so much experience gone.

The season is long and anything can happen.

Well... if we sneak into the finals at full strength then anything can happen.

Injuries and momentum are everything.

Just trying to be positive

That's delusional - not positive.

shouldve let him go to Manly

This has been the shitiest off season ever, with daylight second. If losing RTS and Maloney wasn't bad enough, but I expected late last year, that Pearce, Jennings & Cordner, three of our origin players, to be crucial for us this year.
We can't afford ONE injury to a senior player.

Just heard two of our players have collided in the warm up for 9's one suspect ACL damage the other torn hamstring and ankle only caught the tail end on radio dont know who the players are

[Kentucky_Fried_Rooster]

Not a good start to the season.
I think we will finish around 6th now with a poor start to the season.
Having so many players not playing the full season I think we will win the comp with Pearce, JWH and Cordner firing due to playing about 1/3 less games then most the other players in the comp.

Ryan Matterson & Mitchell Frei will come into calculations as well.

You mean this Ryan Matterson?

[fletch]

did Ryan Matterson rupture his Achilles?

boy we are certainly cursed this pre-season.

[roostersrule2]

Is Matterson the one who collided at the nines?

[The Brain]

Nah was kidding... When things gi bad the chookpen gets interestin and more fun
