Ha I actually thought that was a NZ satire story like on the Onion or something.

Can Ryan Crotty get out of bed without injuring himself? #sicknote

Ongoing concussion symptoms to our equal most important AB is not cool. We are very fucking far from developing a test class replacement for him.

WTF, Aaron or BBBR have concussion?

@Nepia if Chicago taught us anything, it's that we need Whitelock and BBBR on the field against the big boys. Aaron can't do much if our forwards are getting bitch slapped all over the park.

If Chicago taught us anything it's don't play Kaino at lock ... having one of BBBR or Whitelock at any time supported by another lock is good enough for me.
Agree with you that we don't want to lose him to long term concussion though.

The bolded part is the problem. Do we think Scott Barrett is the other starting lock? He's hardly shone at Super level let alone test level. Then who else is there? Romero and Pat T are impact subs only. The drop-off in class from our starting locks to the next best is the worlds tallest cliff.

We have two though, and we only have one 9, and as good as TJP can be, he's no A Smith - if we have to lose one I know which one I prefer.

@no-quarter You obviously haven't watched the last few Crusaders games. Scott Barrett has really stepped up the last few rounds of SR. I'm hoping for Lousi and Strange to progress further, but that will probably come too late for the RWC.

Agree to disagree, TJP is a fine player these days and will do a job at halfback. We have no backup to Whitelock/BBBR at all right now so that is the most concerning area for mine.

As could have been expected, Liam Squire has been cited for his hit on TJ Perenara.
He has been cited under Law 9.12 Striking with the shoulder, which has a mid-range entry point of 6 weeks. So if they find him guilty, and if he has been a good boy and apologised, shown early remorse blah blah and isn't a repeat offender, then he'll get 3 weeks after reduction for mitigating factors. Bye French Series for Squire.
