Hope these injuries and unavailabilities are not too serious
-
@steven-harris given Goodhue was out due to concussion prior to the June break, it is very concerning for him (not only his career, but him) if it is still concussion.
Yeah a few key names on that unavilable/injury list; Hyland, Wright, Douglas the main ones for me.

Kick off -
I know it's only pre season but that's a handy result and confidence will help hugely.
-
@taniwharugby Josh is still such a young guy and with the right development could join Jack in ABs. 😀👍So hope if it is concussion he gets all the time he needs.
-
@taniwharugby yep really good result.
-
what are our other pre-season fixtures?
Guess we now know we will be without Goodhue, which isnt really surprising, but be nice for an update on some of the other injuries, some I expect are just niggles that there is no point playing them.
-
@taniwharugby I have been checking the site.... they do a much better job nowadays but we are close to start of season so time to provide more information. Get the fans pumped up!
-
@taniwharugby yep...I remember when we got nothing. Be good to get some articles on new guys.
