Just saw Craig Bellamy on Fox Sports and he confirmed at least 3 out injured for next week - Folau, Cross, Hoffman. Clouds also hanging over Newton and Slater.

Disastrous.  :'(

I was going to head to Sydney and support the guys but after hearing that injury count it's just not worth it.

Holy F*CK?!

Fair dinkum? They are all pretty massive losses to be honest. I just got a weird feeling of part excitement/part happy/part guilty. I don't like hearing about injuries...but hearing that was like having someone come up and slap me in the face and say 'DUDE, YOU'RE GOING TO WIN THE F*CKING GRAND FINAL'.

I reckon it's almost a 50/50 game with those injuries.

Manly have a lot of injuries as well though. Matai, Monas, Hicks, Glenn Stewart would all be in doubt.

fox sports news active says Cross (hamstring) and Izzy (calf) muscle tears which are the biggest concern, newton (ankle), slater(knee) also mentioned. No mention of hoffy though

bellamy did not confirm 3 players definately out, from what i gathered slater and hoffman will be fine, newtown is abit of an unknown and folau has a calf tear and cross reaggrivated his thigh problem, hopefully all will be ok, biggest concern would be issy, calf tear = not good, hopefully with scans it turns out to be a strain and he can get in the hyperbarric chamber all week, if its a tear, he will definately not play  :(

That would be really unfair for Issy if he didnt play, he hasnt had a problem all year

if issy misses out it will be like crocker last year, done so much to get us there (in issys case hes done a tad more  ;-) ) and then in the match leading up to it they suffer an injury.

during the lap of the ground issy wasnt walking with a limp, just some ice. im confident he will play
