Requires surgery on his knee tomorrow and will be out 3-4 weeks at this stage. The only positive side to this is he'll have a good rest up while his off and will be fit and firing at the business end of the season.

2 homes games and 1 away then a Bye...so will probably miss 4 weeks it could be assumed.

Sure it hurts the Storm but if other players on the roster think they are good enough to be 1st graders...then this is their chance to really put in.
Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time

If we make to the business end of the season. He was at a few weeks last year too and it did not help us really.

It'll only be the 1 home home game he misses against the Bronco's given he wouldn't have been playing the Eels this round anyway. With any luck he's back by the Warriors game and it's only 2 games in total he misses for us.

Good...one less person we have to worry about in origin...

As long as we have him back for the panthers game (cams 300th) I'll be happy

So who do we replace Super Cooper with:
Option 1: Green to 7 and Nona 6
Option 2: Hampton to 7 and Green at 6
or maybe another option?

I'm assuming it will be 6 green 7 Hampton


I'd totally love to see Nona play even in 14

Green may even go to 9 whilst Hinchy rests and Hampton and Nona play in the halves. Just a thought.

This is actually a blessing imo. Now Cronk will be forced to sit out a few weeks and heal from his other injuries.
