Rioli and Waterman better make sure they are strapping their ankles!  Yikes.  Bad luck for Venables.

Some disheartening news in this article>

Marc Murphy to miss a few weeks.
Cyril Rioli looks to be out for a few weeks.
Puopolo with a hamstring
Eddie Betts with hamstring issues
Rory Sloane with foot complaint - Although had it for a couple of weeks and played.

And a few other niggle reports from Rd 4 games worth watching through the week.

No official timeframe yet, but it's looking like Venables could be out for quite a while

Another trade to make

Can't take a break with injuries and these flowering forwards!!! First Langdon, then Ryan and now Venables.
Not to mention Ablett, MCrouch or Cyril who are all out for extended periods. Plus Beams/Sicily missing weeks and Armitage getting dropped. What a flower up of a year.

Going thin in the forwards has killed my start to the year.
Lobb, Fritsch, Venables, Ryan and ZGL has been a disaster... (F4-8 with Fritsch being the only good pick)
Desperately needing ZGL to return early this week.
I would love to bring Heeney in this week and ZGL playing allows me to do it. Otherwise I'll need totrade Ryan out and looking at getting Guelfi early.
Forwards will either be...
Heeney, Smith, Billings, Sicily, Fritsch, ZGL (Venables, Ryan)
or
Smith, Billings, Sicily, Fritsch, Crowden, Guelfi (Venables, ZGL)

Just a slight difference.

Would not leave yourself without E in the FWD's this week I'm not to confident about Fritsch this week only 1 goal in the last 2 weeks with the team coming off a shocker and playing on Tuesday night spells trouble to me

@TimGossage
Back to back major injuries for @WestCoastEagles with Daniel Venables set to spend up to 10 weeks on sidelines, joining Liam Ryan out of action long term.

The forward rookies have been poison, certainly not the year to go light. Guelfi an absolute must in my opinion.
