Napa injury

[fletch]

Robbo just confirmed that Napa is going to have a bit of a stint on the sidelines, mentioned probably going to be more than 3-4 weeks.

[Tommy Smith]

He misses Origin and will freshen up for finals.

Sweet.

Yeh syndesmosis (sp?) which is typically about a month.

I thought Tetevano and Butcher stepped up their game too off the bench. At least we will get to see a bit more of them.

Chooks have 2 byes in the next 3 weeks, handy timing.

Origin 3 is in just under 4 weeks time, I'd be surprised if that isn't his target for a return...

[Lydon]

Perfect timing for it to happen,rest up Napa..

[fletch]

Robbo just said Fergo should be fine, was just a knock to the knee.

[zac]

If NSW win Game 2 I hope he doesn't push to play in Game 3.

He struggled a bit last year after playing well in Origin, so from a Roosters pov, missing those games might keep him hungry.

Some good news post game re reviews of injuries

[mightyrooster]

Well at least there’s a bye in there and he can miss the SOO game. If he’s going to get injured it’s the best time to do it. Great news on Fergo too.

Napa was QLD best forward in SOO 1 so I don't know who will replace him - Scott didn't play tonight - Glasby I suppose- Thaiday has been mentioned? - NSW - Latrell?? it will be questionable if he should play even if passed fit - Aiken would come into calculations I suppose - Fergo putting the pressure on T Turbo for a wing spot recall - Ryan James should replace Campbell-Gillard though - Will JWH come under scrutiny for that tackle on Campbell-Gillard as it looked okay to me but one never knows what the review will say.

Jwh should be safe unless they make up rules again such as lead with the head.

btw, accidental or not latrell injury was caused by crusher. No penalty. No bin. Ask tetavano and Napa how they feel about accidental contact when someone slipped and the rules now state that even if falling, onus on tackler to avoid........ curious

[kakaruk]

A crusher tackle is a crusher tackle it doesn't matter that its accidental its a crusher and should have been penalized and put on report,. Accidental crusher might well have some bearing on any suspension or loading but the onus is on the tackling player to avoid as axe said.Cleary was pretty ineffective all game imo.

All jhalfbacks will be rendered pretty much ineffective when their team has only 32% of possession in a game

[Mickie Lane]

Clearys tackle on Latrell wasnt a text book crusher tackle. It was just one of those things that sometimes happens.
