Who is injured and Who not

[benny]

I'm ready for the call up. I've got 10 minutes of fury in me

Rex, your in, you last about as long as MAAFU does when "fit".

I love how the FoxSports Rugby Club crew keep harping on about, the Reds & Tahs having an injury list, but Western Force have just been performing 'poorly' all year...

A bit like the NRL is ALL Sydney
A bit like the AFL is ALL Melbourne

FoxSports crew is All about "every1 except WF".

Open your eyes you TWATS, there is more than 1 team in Australia, beside the Wallabies.

So no front row and no backs but we still have Pocock, Hodgson, McCalman, Brown and Cottrill for the backrow!! Might have to go back to the Pocock at #12 plan!

I reckon Hodgson would go alright at 12. I don't think we should move the king out of 7. Hodgson has by far the best skill set of our backrowers.

We have enough for a starting team so we could always make it a 5/2 bench split. Josh Holmes can also play 12.

Is the coaching committee looking to sign some backup players so we can get through the rest of the season? It seems many of the injured players are out for the season

Can anyone tell me which players are off contract at the end of this season (apart from Poey and Cheese!) ?

Cool!! Thanks :-)))

How about this as a team:

1 - Pocock (Best of the non-props to play prop!)
2 - Cheese
3 - Faulkner
4 - Lynn
5 - Sharpie
6 - Brown
7 - Hodgo
8 - McCalman
9 - Sheehan
10 - Seymour
11 - Mafi
12 - Sidey
13 - Cummins
14 - Nalaga
15 - Dellit

16 - Taione
17 - Manu
18 - Battye
19 - McCaffrey
20 - Cottrell
21 - Holmes
22 - Godwin

Apart from Whittaker who's gone missing (injured?) that's our entire squad. Having Poey wear 1 limits his ability to pilfer at the first breakdown, but he'll be first to the second phase. However starting Manu means we're likely to go to uncontested scrums at some point.

Its a shame to hear this news. K-Bomb was having his best season since being with the force. Hopefully he will recover as well as his old Rockingham teammate Ryan Tyrell who is back playing at the top level with the Cardiff Blues.
All the best Kieran on a successful recovery.

Ryan will start training with the Rebels end of the year. Contracted.

That's interesting.

Makes the likelihood of retaining Charles much greater. The Rebels would be the only other team who would really be at the table since the Brumbies have Moore, the Waratahs have TPN and the Reds have Faingaa and Hanson.
