Gudgeon is 18th man according to nswrl website.

I wonder if Sua would be considered for fg if he gets through today?

I would think if Sua gets through, particularly as he is playing on wing, fair chance he plays v Titans if Coates is ruled out.

Poor first half by the Bears, but only 12-6 down.

Sua Fa'alogo hasn't seen much of the ball. Made two good runs in his own half and made another run in the lead up to the Bears' try.

Dean Ieremia scored the try for the Bears after a great pass from Jake Toby. Made a big tackle on the Magpies centre to force an error 5 metres out from Bears line. Made one handling error, other than that has been solid.

Bronson Garlick played the first 30 minutes at hooker and then moved to lock. Heavily involved in defence. Was penalised for a crusher tackle, Wests scored in the next set. Made more impact in attack at lock. Made a couple of good runs when at lock, including being involved in chain of passes for Ieremia's try.

Much better second half by the Bears.

Bears won 28 to 16.

Su'a Fa'alogo's try was an individual effort from an attacking scrum with a step and then carving his way through the line.

Dean Ieremia moved to centre for the last 15 minutes or so when Allan Fitzgibbon came off the bench. Fitzgibbon set up the Bears last try with an 80 metre run from a kick return.

Sua Fa'alogo was interviewed after the game and said the body is feeling good. He also said "hopefully get an opportunity next week."

Hoping it’s nothing more than PCL or MCL which are bad enough to mess up Jonah’s season but an ACL would be a real problem. Wishing him some positive news.
