Don't quote me...it's just what I have heard along the grapevine

[The InnFORCEr]

Jimmy Hilgendorf has had the operation and all went well.

Junior does have a problem with the wrist and will not play on Saturday.

Henjak should be fine to start on Saturday, not as serious as first thought.

Rumours that the replacement players will come from

4 - NSW
1 - Qld (ex Super 12 player at fullback)
1 - local lad from Cottesloe

No names were mentioned.

Glad to hear Yaks good to play.
Another local lad getting a chance to strut his stuff - brilliant.

[Burgs]

Hope re Hennas proves correct, my grappavine was a tad more sour...
Great to see one local but really a shame not to take the opportunity to try more out too.
Hats of to RWA though for blooding far more than from any other "second tier" club comp (ie not NSWRU or QRU Comps).
Yes, I'm looking at you Melbourne...

I've enjoyed how well the Perth players have done so far too. One more is great, but I think the hierarchy and the fans would like to concentrate on getting some silverware to WA. If they can get experienced replacments, they should.

They love their Rugby in Melbourne....

[Burgs]

Not enough to use their own players though...
Wonder if the one Queenslander is a Nudgee boy Gerry

[The Lone Hydrangea]

Heard from our man, a reliable sauce, that Tif is spot on.

[Skiza]

oooh i love this grapevine stuff

[JediKnight]

Anyone else think that Henjak's holding off going under the knife in case the call comes from Knuckles to join him on a French vacation?

My grapevine says no. Henjak knows he won't get a call up. But he is holding off going under the knife because he knows that his performance in the ARC is being judged by certain selectors to see if he's matured enough to be a key player next year. Word on the street is they're hoping that the combo of Henners and Gits will replace that of Gregan and Bernie. Gits is certainly dropping that in and you will see much of it in the super 14 season. That's a pretty reliable grape btw. Henjak will most likely play this weekend though not the whole game. It will be a test for his knee and if he can deal with it, he'll continue to hold off surgery. He's hoping to do a Sheps and strengthen the muscles rather than have surgery so as not to damage his super 14 season.

Word on the grapevine also is that the Cott player is a go-er

I think i like our sauces better...

[PerthGirl]

any news on Lachy McKay?

[Burgs]

He's negotiating a sponsorship deal with HBF...

[shasta]

Cruel Burgs, very cruel.

[goony]

why would they bring in a player from cott?? seriously... i reckon its rara isnt it?

[The InnFORCEr]

The grapevive was just about spot on
