Lock.

Agree

shh, dont want everyone picking him, stay away  ;)

He only played on Matera so I'd like to see him when he gains attention from a tagger/better player.

That will be the true test.

Just did his hammy

disappointing as he is a very good defender

[Jimmykidd]

Back to Simpson till we have more news..

[nperera95]

ahh great! Another backline dilemma! D:

[auscoyote]

Didn't look too bad, Hopeful for Rd1 still :-\

[GoLions]

Didn't look too bad, Hopeful for Rd1 still :-\

I wouldn't want to risk starting him after this though, especially when you have guys like Simpson, Hanley, Hodge, Thompson etc that should all do about the same

[PK]

It didn't look to bad but i'd still say 3-4 weeks so he would be pushing Rnd1. Doubt he will be at 100% even if he makes Rnd1 so pretty risky to start with him now.

[Grufflez]

This really flowers up my backline plans..as the only other R10 backs i can see around his price are Hanley/Malceski,FFS this may force me to a McVeigh who id planned on picking up with Mitchell after byes for cheaper....

[RaisyDaisy]

Gutted about this. Mitchell and Hibberd were the only 2 defenders I had locked. Had Hibberd last year too, so consistent and was a great POD for me. Damn!

Fingers crossed he recovers well and lines up rd1, really want him in my team from the get go

Thompson describes @M_Hibberd1's injury as a minor strain - a "19-dayer, ready for Round 1." #NABChallenge

Phew!

Although I am ever so slightly concerned as this is not the first time he has twinged his hammy
