Nrl Physio just posted Will Warbrick is out of the Kiwis last game due to a thigh injury will be ready for preseason so nothing too serious

Sad for Will sucks for the kiwis

Yeah honestly, it's November. Should not be playing right now. Should be kicking back on a beach in SE Asia about to head back for preseason.

Dean Ieremia has suffered an achilles rupture and will be sidelined for at least 6 months.

Another tough injury for him so hope his head is in a good place.

This is a blow for his development and for people who still think he could play first grade full time.

He can play first grade. He isn't best 17 but definitely has a role to play, especially when we get injuries and get Origin-effected. He seems to have been around a long time but isn't that old really. But 2 very serious injuries now could prove fatal.

I wonder if we explore the transfer market now to replace him. Coby Williamson upgrade, Sal? Axl22?

Coby is good but I reckon Moses would be now in front of him …I think we might get to see Moses earlier then we anticipated possibly…unless bellza decides he isn’t ready then they might had a contract to someone like Setu Tu from the Bris tigers …but let’s be honest getting Moses a year early now is a good thing

His role should've always been as a squad player who needed more time to develop and been nowhere near first grade. Outside of taking one out hit ups he had no idea what he was doing.

There is a very obvious reason why he's stuck around but this injury doesn't help him or the club at all.

Williamson should be kept around due to his versatility in the backs.

Looking at the trialists Jennings & Billing are centre/second row options.

Perhaps looking elsewhere for a depth winger is necessary. Manase Kaho from the Norths Devils could be a low cost option.

According to radio he's expected back by round 1. Medicab just because it was a long way from the medic.

Interesting but not surprising about Welch
