Nothing much from the club but groin problem that also hindered him in GF last year could be the dreaded OP who knows but it's enough to put a line through him for me at his price.

That Whitfield news isn’t ideal. I want to start him. His bye is preferable. I could swap him for Laird and will if by R1 that looks the thing to do. Laird’s bye is the thing stopping me atm.
