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

Would they fit you under the cap?

Smith surgery Saturday 4-6 weeks

Kenny calf stain 1 week

Jacks bruised hip doubt

Waiting on change from match report to see who else is unavailable.

We will get Jesse back. Hughes and Captain Smith maybe.

Vete and Johns cleared, NAS $700 fine.

Craig Bellamy has a Grade 2 AC Joint shoulder issue as well, after how quickly Frank yanked him out of that presser

I can't remember an injury crisis like this in the history of the club. I think this is as bad as we have had it.

The injuries are an adversity. Adversity breeds strength. We need to find a way through.

Haha I wish he had actually done that unfortunately this was made out to be worse then it was ...truth is storm should’ve been first in the press conference and Brad went in first by the time Bellamy got in they were late for their plane ..boys missed the time cut off for Sunshine Coast airport by 20 minutes and had to fly to brissie instead

Haha, what? Really? That's shocking then from the NRL.

More like typical of the amateur nature of the NRL

Actually I think it was planned like that cause Sunshine Coast airport closes early at night cause of COVID ...apparently it happened when we played the roosters too

Fair enough, I guess Sunshine Coast airport is pretty small too.

Add another to our injury list - Tom Eisenhuth calf strain.

I honestly think craig is resting them ...being sensible cause it’s a stupid year with no byes

Hoffy this morning confirms Marion likely has done ACL.

Some better news re others. Max King is available for selection.

Kenny and Tom both touch-and-go for this week. Would be handy if one of them could slot in .

NAS looking like 1-2 weeks, so not as based as we had feared .

Dale, Suli and Brandon all progressing well.

Tui also not far away, which is great for him.

No mention of Brenko , and he is not mentioned on the NRL website in our injury list.

No mention of Paul M by Hoffy, but still listed as “finals “ on nrl.com

Lockyer mentioned a hand injury for Lee on the coverage yesterday, so not sure if he knew or not and whether he has broken it again or just aggravated it.

A bit of a worry with Lee as we are short there, and id still have him as first choice centre pair with Olam, but he is pretty injury prone. Id say thats why its good we have Leutele and thought Nicho Hynes was pretty good there too yesterday, so atleast we still have some options and depth in the centres.
