The Roosters win was massive, but it has come at a cost. We can add the following to the growing injury list;
- Suli with a broken jaw
- Hughes with a groin strain
- Brandon with a back/rib injury

Bellamy said in the post match presser that Cam Smith probably won't play next week. He is running but hasn't even started passing/catching yet, so I doubt he can progress to full contact in a week, but I guess we will see.

Craig also said that Munster was still 2-3 weeks away at a minimum.

Looking more and more likely that we will have a thin team available until Finals, when hopefully we get most blokes back on the park. How well they will sync together at that point is a separate worry.

Hopefully Frank provides an Injury Report this week.

Craig did say in his press conference that Brandon Smith was likely to play next week.

Marion Seve ear trained fully yesterday chance to be named in 21 today
Suliasi Vunivalu jaw 4 - 6 weeks
Ricky Leutele - joins squad tomorrow week and will need 2 weeks of training to get fitness up
Paul Momirovski- finger, back home in Sydney, will have to quarantine when he comes back and is set to be fit for finals

That's a hefty list - huge bonus is that most if not all will be ready for finals time.

So add Brandon (Jaw) and Kenny (Calf tear) to the list.

If Storm needs I can get some annual leave approved by my manager and be in Sunshine Coast quite soon.
