Heppell pretty much confirming Hibberd won't play. Nine news said as much last night too.

[Ricochet]

Sando says L. Thompson is on standby for Rutten, who must pass another concussion test. Matt Crouch likely to come in if S. Thompson misses.

Top work Rico..any news on the Zak jones blurred vision test??need some Hibbo cover

Tom Clurey a big chance. Need him or Z Jones to play. Who's your D8 Tiges?

[Jroo]

Good stuff Rico.
I'm hoping Hibbo and ZOB are back, Zorko plays and no one is rested.
Seeing as there's byes next week, you wouldn't think anyone should get rested, but you never know.

[Ricochet]

No worries fellas, also hoping like hell Hibberd and Zorko play. Haven't seen anything on ZJones HotTiges, but I'll look into it

Cameron says Heath Shaw won't play until after the bye. Apparently had some bleeding on the brain

Geez, that is a bit scary

Really hoping bloody Joey Montagna keeps his spot this week (have to play him with Rocky suspended)

[Ricochet]

- Cameron also said at his pressor that Treloar and Coniglio will miss against Freo

That's really terrible for Shaw, hopefully no permanent effects from the knock. 'After the bye' means he will miss another two weeks I assume?

Steven out perhaps opens the door for Acres to return?

Interesting... if this is confirmed then surely the rumours about mummy will be wrong, if you drop treloar, coniglio and mummy against freo that looks a lot like tanking... 3 of their better players against the crows, and with Heater already out fue to injury it's hard to make an argument that they're all tired and in need of a rest...

[Big Mac]

Treloar out? Flower, just what I needed this week  >:(

[Jroo]

Yes! Thanks Leon!
Giants always seem to tank when they go to Perth, they end up resting half their team.
