Young Wishart gets another chance then.

Brandon is on the extended bench, don't know how realistic that is though.

Am I correct in thinking Wishart lives with Grant? Grant posted an Instagram story of Wishart cutting onions with glad wrap over his face, unsure if that's covid safe. Jokes aside we might have 2 hookers with covid?!

Actually, on further googling, looks like B Smith also lives with them. Couldn't plan it better could we haha!

What genius thought it was a great idea to have the hookers living together

Confirmed Tyran Wishart ruled out as close contact to Harry Grant. Wishart in isolation for 7 days too.

Does Nikorima debut for Storm at hooker?

Injury list is starting to look bad (based on Frank's Injury Report yesterday):
Christian Welch (achilles) - miss most of season.
George Jennings (ACL) - still has swelling around knee so hasn't had surgery yet. Miss rest of season.
Brandon Smith (broken hand) - started training this week, more likely for Bulldogs game.
Bronson Garlick (knee) - injured in Queensland Cup, 4 to 6 weeks.
Jack Howarth (corked thigh) - Injury which appeared after Queensland Cup game. 1 - 2 weeks.
Jordan Grant (calf) - started training this week, still needs some training work before he can play, probably 1 - 2 weeks.
Marion Seve - possibly could play Queensland Cup this week
Tom Eisenhuth (calf) - injured his left calf and then when he recovered from that he injured his right calf. Taking a conservative approach. Will start to train next week but a number of weeks away.
Cooper Johns (shoulder) 1 - 2 weeks

Plus:
Harry Grant (COVID) 1 week
Tyran Wishart (COVID protocols) 1 week

Plus Tui Kamikamica unavailable due to charges.

Exactly, blind Freddy could see this is a high risk issue. So now we have the problem going forward that if Wishart gets a cold then Harry misses a game. FMD

yep, given the current Covid situation and the protocols surrounding it, this would have to be one of the most idiotic/negligent decisions the club has ever made.

Can someone explain to me that with 15 other clubs and 24 players named in the squad for each team, totaling 360 players, How is Storm the only club with a positive case. went to the pokies So is every other club doing the correct protocols or is just us and we are the ones being honest.
