Rnd 2 vs Titans - Includes Spoilers

[Go Storm]

Craig hinted at an injury to Juzzie, and i reckon Stanley's knee needs a good rest before he requires more surgery.

So i reckon we'll see Champion make his debut and the return of Quinn on the wing.

We'll see more of Thommo next week too, he was great. Apparently he was interchanged by mistake.

m blair would add a little to our bench i think, but i dont think we need a utility with smith n hinchy out there, whos the next back rower in line for a start?

As suspected Chase is pretty much a certainty to miss out according to todays paper with his knee which is a real shame after the way he played the other night. That said we're really going to need him this season so it's better off getting him right instead of playing him injured and risking more damage

It has been confirmed that Chase Stanley requires a full knee reconstruction and is out for the season.

He had an MRI after the game which confirmed a ruptured anterior-cruciate ligament requiring surgery and nine months out of the game.

Such a shame....

[Johns]

Bloody devastating.

Where did you hear that news? I'm hoping(most likely in vain) it's from an unreliable source...

[steaming stormer]

I can't find confirmation of that anywhere... gutted if it's true!

[Johns]

It was only meant to be a cork.

A ruptured ACL is pretty radically different???

[steaming stormer]

he went down with noone near him - I don't think cork, but was hoping it was only a strain not a rupture

Pretty predictable lineup.

O'Neill the unlucky one, but Quinn was always gonna get "his" spot back...

[Fizer]

The team announcement video says it's O'Neill on the wing so it will have to be confirmed who it is.

Edit. NRL.com confirm it's Quinn

[Michael :P]

Stoked too see Blair in the front-row and Kev on the right again, gives the pack much better balance.
