As far as what I can tell
Wykes - ACL
Longbottom Knee??
Harvey - Ankle ??
Stannard - Shoulder
Shepherd - Wrist
Maafu - Knee??
Nala this week after he tears another "winger injury" for doing nothing. ?!?!
Turner - Knee
Fairbanks - Something !!
Rapana - Something !!
Stanley - Something !!
Tupou - Shoulder.
So out of 35 man squad we have " 24 men for selection"
Feel sorry for the 2 who's not picked.
Does this mean we can have Cottrell re-elevated to the full squad ?
Plus looking at the casualty ward, have we any1 who can "fill in" for the front row. ?? playing against possibly the toughest pack in the competition against the Stormers, it AINT going to be easy for who ever's coming in..
What about Whittaker?
I hadn't heard that Longbottom was injured, but if he is then our front row would be 1. Faulkner 3. Cowan 17. Manu. Cowan has played 3 before at least.
I think Fairbanks is back/neck.
With those injuries the backline will probably be:
9. Sheehan
10. Seymour
11. Mafi
12. Sidey
13. Cummins
14. Nagala
15. Dellit
20. Holmes
21. Godwin
22. Wara
Although I'd actually like to see Godwin start.

I don't think the game we've played this year has enabled nalanga to play the game he was brought here for. If the panel has learnt anything from graham we might see him getting the ball in space on the front foot at speed a bit more. Maybe even coming in from the wing to go looking for it
The Force need to use Nagala a bit like Digby Ioane is used with the Wallabies. In the first three games it seemed like we weren't using Nagala as a runner off set pieces because that would be obvious and the defenders would be tuned in to it. Who cares, he will still take two defenders to comfortably bring him down.

We didn't use the flying Fijian because RG doesn't have the smarts
We dominated games with possession and field position and Nalanga was getting cold on the wing and holding his todger
Up front there oughta be a man in black
You'll never see bright colours on my back......
Until things are brighter, I'm the man in black
I'll also add now, looking thru twitter world, PEK COWAN is injured AND BEN WHITAKER has done his (knee or shoulder) and requires a recon, gone for the year, thats why Elvis T. has been upgraded from academy to full member till year end.
And Sam Wara is out injured (from the last game we played) not sure of an update.

Hurray for the 30-man playing squad!![]()
Can't wait to see the ES media's take on that casualty list. I suppose they'll bleat about that as much as they did when the Reds were on the ropes?? Maybe Kafer will ease up on instructing the referees, just to help us out??
Force by 3.
