Let’s be fair dinkum, only 3-4 are first grade possibilities, yes rest are good back ups but our recruitment has been poor.
When does having to have 29 on books come into play, by my count we are short 1 or 2.
Big loss Dan and Brailey likely for extended time along with Hunt and Jones

I watched the physio report on the website and guess what. No mention of Edrick.
From what I have heard unofficially he may not play for 4-6 weeks, and that is a big IF

I wonder if there comes a point if he isn't right by a certain point in the season if he might look at medical retirement, ala Blake Green.

Right now we need him in our 29/30 squad unless someone can explain things my understanding is we need 29 in squad plus development by commencement of round 1, failure of this could (???) incur Penalties then 30 player must be signed by a later date.
We seem to be short 1 or 2 at the moment, if so what are we hearing about signing or upgrades to meet this requirement or am I confused

Don’t think there’d be any need to do that when he’s on a one year contract.

Greeny was only one a 1 yr deal wasn't he? And it freed us up a spot to pick up Clifford later in the year. I just mean if it's still that much up in the air when the bloke is going to be back I wonder if there will come a point when he might look at it if it doesn't look like he will get back.

Nah some where he was interviewed and said in a couple of weeks, probably just being as safe as possible especially with the injury to hunt
They wouldnt sign him if he wasnt ready

Poor Edrick! He was great for us in D and attack. Now the only break he can catch is in his hand or foot

I don't think he impressed enough and fell behind a couple of others , i could be wrong but that's the way it seemed to me . Nobody was raving about him like most are about Thompson .

Geez - to be 2 and 0 and top of the table after 2 rounds and having to figure out who has to make way in the next 2 weeks for some of the returns from these 1st choice players....dare I say it, we seem to be building a club that is developing the capability of competing and sustaining a place in the top half dozen sides of the NRL competition - somewhere in the back of my mind I can hear Daryl Kerrigan's voice ..."Tell him he's dreamin'!"

Craig Catterick said it was a pcl rupture and he will be out for 12 weeks before round 1. Really confusing but not complaining.
