2015 NAB Cup: Gold Coast v Brisbane Metricon Stadium Friday 20/03/2015

[Nige]

Some ridiculous contested possession counts from Dion, Dwallow, DBeams and Redden.

[Mat0369]

Do Gold Coast have an 'injury' and put someone on the LTI so they can elevate Saad?

Cant remember, but they definitely have a spot for him

[Mat0369]

I posted something in the rookie discussion thread but Broughton will be elevated and I think they need an LTI to elevate Saad as well. Lemmens has also had a turf toe injury and will be back in 1-2 weeks and plays the same role as Saad so it will be interesting to see how it pans out

Just checked before. They don't from what I can see.

Unfortunately Gold Coast are only allowed 38 on their senior list this year and they already have that. :-\

Yup, most of the guys on the injury list are 1-2 weeks other then Dixon hence the 'injury'.

Only one elevated rookie allowed due to no vets and that will be Broughton

[Nige]

They'll find a way.

[Mat0369]

Well Robbo just might have made sure that Saad won't be there round 1

Where does it say that they have 2 spots available??

Well that will help

Reliable half-back Greg Broughton was squeezed out at the end of last season as the Suns had to reduce their list by two. However, he is highly regarded by the club, and with two opportunities to upgrade rookies, he is a near certainty. Adam Saad has also made a huge impression in his first pre-season and is a strong chance of being elevated. - Michael Whiting

Nevermind, comprehension is hard.

Is that right though? GC's own website says they are only allowed 38 players and that's how many are on their senior list.

I assumed that? Or is that suggesting two times a year they are allowed to?

Yep, I've read 38 too and they have 38

Confusing  :-\

Unless they have some kind of concession to upgrade rookies...but then what was the point of having the list reduced? :-\
