Jahrome Hughes broke his hand in the win over the Rabbitohs. He will have surgery and miss 2-3 weeks.
He had a mixed game last night but I still think he needs to be the 7.
Who comes in/how do we shuffle?

For our own amusement it needs to be Jacks and we need the Storm to go on a point scoring spree with him having as little involvement as possible.
Tough luck for Hughes. Wonder how/when he did it? Would explain some terrible passes.

Blazza18 Hughes hurt his hand in a tackle about 8 minutes before half time. I noticed it while watching last night that he was holding his hand after laying two tackles in a row about 20 metres out from our attacking try line.
Hahaha
How is Cooper Johns' size and defence, do we think Craig is holding him back for another year maybe? Is he a future player whereas Jacks is a now player? (I have no idea about Johns, I wouldn't even know if I walked past him)

Cooper Johns will be a fair player imho. Maybe doesn’t have first grade in him just yet but he’s got some size (1.85m) and a high pedigree footy brain. Definitely the most natural and instinctive 7 when compared with Croft, Hughes and jacks.
Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time

Injury Report - Round 6

Football Operations Coordinator Ryan Hoffman has the latest on injured players as we head into Round 6 of the Telstra Premiership.
Halfback Jahrome Hughes missed our clash with the Knights last weekend after undergoing surgery on a broken hand.
"We will see how Hughesy goes at training this week," Hoffman said.
"Initially we thought he'd be out for at least two games but we'll see how he's looking after captain's run."
Powerful forward Tui Kamikamica has not played a game since round two and has been on a modified training program since the coronavirus hiatus, but Hoffman said he is edging closer to a return.
"Tui is still nursing that minor back injury but he's progressing," Hoff said.
"He's still a week or two away."
Prop Aaron Pene is likely to be available for selection in the next few weeks after his achilles rehab.

Cam Munster just told Megan Barnard on Fox NRL that he is “at least 5-6 weeks away “. She queried him on it, noting it was longer than had been announced. He then repeated it. Ouch !
