@centreman

Any news on his progress as the silence is deafening!

Dane Coles is expected to be out until June. That was from an article during the pre season

Stargazer

I find this quite funny.

And once again I am forced to reflect upon how much of a pussy I am. I can't believe how tough some of these roosters are. I'd probably still be crying.

I talked to a team doctor a while back. He said players run from baby to hard as nails. But he also said you couldn't tell by looking at them, position or reputation.

Some "hard men" props see a needle and faint. Some first-fives don't want anaesthetic for stitches because they want to get back out immediately.

Hurricanes line-up looks good. Proctor at 13 and JB at 15 is a good start

No Quarter

Good first touch from the Bus.

Rancid Schnitzel

Canes looking slick as. Great stuff with that Barrett bros on each side. Hope I'm not getting ahead of myself.

Crotty off is a big blow

No Quarter

Yup Barrett brothers looking sharp.

Saders getting pinged off the park at the moment.

Somebody's got a rocket up Julian S. He's looking terrific.

Only took that rocket three years to get to him. 😉

Jordie is looking quicker this year.
