Today is something like the 4th or 5th game this season he has had his initial stint and not come back in 2nd half he must be carrying some pretty significant injury for him to be playing so few minutes.

JWH is a tough mutha.
It ain't just the sternum pain he is playing with guaranteed. Jared gives 110% percent every week and has the beaten up body to show for it.
He is scheduled to retire a Rooster in 2023, but i would not rule out a medical retirement before then.
Prop is the toughest position in the game on the body. Look at his peers - Shane Webcke played 250 games. Matt Scott 265. Sam Burgess 182. Paul Harrogan 169. Mark Carroll 185. You'd be hard pressed to find a prop that is still playing anywhere near peak once they are in the 220-250 game phase of their career, if they even make it that far intact.
Jarrod has just ticked over to 233.
Enjoy the great man while we've got him.

Some people believe supporting the Roosters
is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed
with that attitude. I can assure you it is
much, much more important than that.

We have all seen it for a decade now....when JWH fires the Roosters win
When the season re-started there were doubts regarding the new rules not suiting his game.....but he just dominated and thrived on the speed of the game & we had that 5 weeks of first class form.
He has been off his game for a month now- i got no doubt he has been playing with an injury that under normal circumstances would see him sidelined . He has put up his hand to play because its coincided with the loss of Radley, then at times Liu, Cordner, SST and Angus.
Obviously none of us should question Robbo's decision to allow him to play....but having JWH out there really busted is going to catch up on him. Isaac Liu should be promoted to starting front rower until JWH is at lest 75% mended
