Jake

[Fairfax]

Anyone heard how he is recovering? Is he on track? By all counts he should be three to four weeks away shouldn't he? I like what I see with Sam, but Nugg's work rate will free up the rest of the pigs and tighten us up.

Robbo said yesterday SST/Cordner were 1-2 weeks away and Friend was a couple of weeks after that, so I guess 3-4 weeks for Friend.

[Kelby]

Yeah, I'm guessing here.

Boyd this week
Hall this week
SST next week
Jake round 26

I don't think Cordner plays this week, no need to rush him back, we can beat the Warriors without Friend/Cordner/SST.

[The Skeez]

Yeah, I'm guessing here.

Hall this week
SST next week
Jake round 26

There’s only 25 rounds. Would be 1st week of finals.

The question is, do we use Victor off the bench to free up Jake or just shift Vic to 9 from lock mid game?

Its the match fitness and brittleness of Jake’s injury that creates the most doubt leading into elimination finals footy.

If Jakes ready you can bet he will want to go the distance.

And Vic needs to play big minutes too, if not the 80.

I won't be surprised they give Tedesco a week off when Hall comes back.

NO

What for?

[morley101]

NO

What for?

Carrying a minor injury..

[fletch]

Jake Friend is hoping to return in Rd 25, which would be 7 weeks after he suffered a fracture around the screw used for his distal biceps repair. Increased fracture risk exists around surgical hardware. 7 weeks to allow for comprehensive bone healing.

By Round 25 we should wrap up second spot on the ladder so Teddy and anyone else injured can it out the Souths game.

With that lunatic Burgess playing in Round 25 I would be tempted to rest Keary.

Chances are he will be suspended cause he can't get away with yet another charge or he will show his tackle to some random woman over the net again and finally get punished.

Who needs Jake when you can play Manu at hooker.

[Serenader]

I’m getting a feeling that we may be seeing the end of Nugg. I hope I’m wrong....
