Get help....
Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time
Munster into QLD camp. QLD team officials state that they think he will be good to play. That is after Munster said he was long odds and risks season ending injury if he was to play... Storm officials say it is up to Munster.
If he risks our season for $30K and an Origin jumper, Storm officials and fans (rightly) won’t be happy.

Won’t be happy is an understatement. I’ll be lima lima lima duck devastated and equally lima lima lima duck ropable. I see his main gig as playing for Storm. Not risking (known) serious injury and harming Storm’s chance of winning the 2021 Premiershp.

The club can't stop them. They can recommend and they can ask the player not to jeopardise the club's Premiership aspirations, but what can they realistically do to stop the player? Seek some kind of medical injunction that overrides the player and the QLD doctor? It would never work.
It will always come down to the individual player making the call on whether they are right or not. The individual players and rep teams are always going to take more risk than the clubs. Respectfully, does the QRL really give a f*ck if Munster is unable to play a part in our drive for the Premiership? Or do they just care that they get the best players on the park for QLD, especially during a serious injury crisis?

Will it hurt QLD more to take an unfit player in to a big game? Seems a bigger risk to me.yourhero wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 11:06 am The club can't stop them.

And
Of course I don't want any of our players involved but if we all think like this then there will be no State of Origin. This is the kind of thinking that killed VFL State of Origin. (Kick a Vic and all that)
Maybe. But if it was the GF, do you think the Storm would be pushing for Munster to be available, or erring on the side of caution? That's the biggest game of all... It's all down to how important the game is, the value they bring and whether they think he can make it through.
You're completely misreading me if you think my post was advocating for no club players to be available for SOO/rep games. I am happy for our players to be involved and celebrate them in the games. This was specifically about Munster, his specific injury and the language that has been used by all parties suggesting season-ending risk.
Nah, no way. I didn't mean you, I meant the people who don't want our players involved in Origin. It's all good YHyourhero wrote: ↑Tue Jun 01, 2021 2:31 pm You're completely misreading me if you think my post was advocating for no club players to be available for SOO/rep games.

Some good news - after a long injury lay-off, Jack Howarth has been named in the Centres for SC Falcons this weekend. Let’s hope he gets an injury-free run for the rest of the season - there is a spot for him at the Storm next season if he can match the hype .
