Billie Smedts broke his leg in the VFL

Rory Laird's corked thigh is good to go and will play this week.

Nice

Any word on how Johannisen's recovery is going? id imagine it was 8-9 weeks + a few games in the ressies for fitness?

Think i seen somewhere his 3-4 week's away, then will do 1-2 weeks in the VFL to get his fitness back. (Your not holding him are you :o)

lol nah, was interested in him as a late season pod but he is to far away o well, ty.

Good news for NicNat owners: crutches are for a recurring achilles injury.  Bad news for NicNat owners: he has a recurring achilles injury.

They better not flowering name him then he's a late out since Grimely plays Friday night!

So if he is named would it be worth sitting Lycett at R3 just in case? It would mean playing a rookie instead

[Raiden]

I think Nic Nat will play this week, it's a crunch game against the Crow's this week at DS. I think they will rest him the following week & not fly him up to QLD to take on the Lions, he then has the bye the following week which would give him two weeks rest.

I don't think they care who they are playing this week unless his achilles is 100% I can't see them risking him it would be a disaster if he really hurt it any further he could be out for many weeks

Yeah they won't risk him if he isn't fully fit.
Lycett is capable.

[jeesh]

He's got a broken nose to go with his sore achilles absolutely no chance he plays.

Same goes for Nic Nat, the nose isn't the issue. Its 100% the Achilles. If there's no risk of further damage I agree he plays this week then gets two weeks off and we send Lycett/Giles to QLD orrrr Lycett #1 with McGovern pinching like he has said he wants to.

John Worsfold said they're thinking about whether to rest Tippa or not this week

Yep strong chance this happens. I think everyone with Nic Nat (myself included) should start planning to be without him first week of the byes.

How can you tell his nose is broken?
