Friend has a fracture to where the screw was inserted to reattach his bicep

[fletch]

Robbo just said Jake has a fracture in his arm where the screw was inserted to fix his bicep tear, doesn't sound great.

[fletch]

Robbo just said Friend will be out between 4 and 8 weeks.

That's terrible news for Jake , and terrible news for Roosters

I agree Steve....Sammy V needs to come into the 17. I'm sure the coaching staff can work out a proper roter but V can play decent minutes too.

Jakes loss is huge. Just when we thought it was safe to go back in the water..

Robbo did mention verrills in the interview, so hopefully he'll use him a little more.

[fletch]

Verrills isn't ready to play 80 minutes in first grade, think Verrills will come into the first grade squad but Radley will continue to play significant minutes at hooker.

This sounds like the old ac joint scapula injury.

Been sus on this since he first went out

[Johnny Brass]

I really hope verills gets some proper game time at dummy half instead of 10 minutes at the end of games . Robbo has to show a bit of faith in him as we really need Radley at lock.

I hope not too significant.

[zac]

4 weeks or 8 weeks depending on whether they plate it or not was Robbo's best guess.

Not good, but not worst case scenario when we saw him walking off the park.

[Vasco]

Someone said the stars were aligning....

[Vasco]

I hope not too significant.

Unless Simon Bonetti is making a comeback it will be significant.

[TheLoneRooster]

So did this happen because Jake came back too soon? After all, he was expected back at the earliest in round 20.

Looks like the Roosters are going to have to do this the hard way.
