Very close. 1030-1230. Not sure if I should expand upon what I saw, except to say that Harry wasn't there. (Or if he was this spy couldn't recognise him!)

I'd expect to see Kane Bradley on the team sheet this week

Interesting although I think you only need to worry about capt run if players aren’t at capt run then you have to worry

A lot of players esp ones like Harry have extra time off ect

But might need to be a wait and see

nrlphysio has Jahrome with 7 different calf issues over the past 4 seasons. That's getting a bit concerning.

It is. His heir apparent is not far behind though, has had a lot of injuries already has young Jonah.

These kinds of facts are always interesting. Is it coincidence or is it a trend, maybe associated with the way they're trained. 🤔

Hardly considering Jonah did his ACL after being hit hard by a tackle in QLD and Paps did both his last 2 injuries tackling players in QLD …seems qld doesn’t like our players

Impact injuries like those Paps has had are almost entirely bad luck. It comes with the gladiator sport that is RL.

Soft tissue injuries like calves and hamstrings on the other hand, (whilst still impacted by elements of luck) are more manageable with high quality medical systems.

Some kind of NRL injury register with injury types and time out would be an interesting read.

Some players are just more susceptible to certain injuries also. Tommy Turbo for example. Vunivalu was another.

Those with back issues usually also have hamstring issues.
