WDC possible ACL injury? Looked bad
Frank McWilliams
Danny 'Bedsy' Buderus
Was an ordinary game, played totally different from last weeks big effort, Votano looked short of a gallop, needs a few games under his belt, hard to pick anyone who starred but best were probably McCarthy, Schiller, Gamble and Hola.
New player No24, big guy, Peni, who is he, where is he from?

If I remember correctly, from when I looked him up during the trials, Peni was a Flegg player at Cronulla last year and signed to play for one of the local teams and trained with our NSW cup squad.
Somehow Graham topped our fantasy points with 60 despite being sin binned, which I think is a 10 point deduction. He made 57 tackles in 70 minutes.

Think he was pulled out of Macquarie Scorpions ?
