February 6, 20233 yr I must have misread it, I assumed DazBob meant that he'd be happy if MJ was out of the team for longer than 3 weeks, not injured for longer. I'd also be happy if we didn't nned to call upon MJ for longer than 3 weeks, as it would mean that things were going well without him.
February 6, 20233 yr Can't say I'm a huge MJ fan to be honest, but he's been playing in discomfort because of a floater in his knee apparently. But this is the nitty gritty part of the season and we need all hands on deck.

May 5, 20233 yr Santos is good news. JDB would be fantastic as a supersub in the playoffs if he makes it. Not sure if Iredale would get picked given our defensive record but he's a great utility sub. Whatever, it's nice to have a day with good news.
May 5, 20233 yr With Santos, Toal, Johnstone and Jones all fit for the first time in months, who would you pick as back 3 for weekend?
May 5, 20233 yr I'd leave Santos alone this weekend, save him for the playoffs, we need to go in in with a full squad, if Iredale and JDB are back, it's looking fantastic.

Given that he's coming back from injury, I'd play him to get some match time into his legs as it's not a crucial match - but also to see how he holds up and fits back in. Problem would be if he's not great and Evatt is then faced with the dilemma of having to drop his captain for the playoffs - but I guess he's paid to make tough decisions.
May 6, 20233 yr If hes 100% or at least it appears so, start him and give him an hour Hes our best player Dont want him breaking down 5 mins into a play off so test him out now Not bothered if hes good or bad, just give him a public fitness test

July 11, 20233 yr Need to stop playing no mark teams poor set ups and pub players going in Yes injuries can happen anytime but let’s reduce the risk Only good thing it’s happened with time left rather than say a week before the start

The Bamber Bridge player was moving away from him. Looks like he planted his foot awkwardly and his knee buckled underneath him.
