Round 1 Team

It's probably a greenstick fracture - which is basically just a stress fracture caused by a blow rather than repeated strain - so basically just a tiny crack that could heal pretty quickly if he rests it properly.

I know what you are saying but the bench looks dynamic and strong imho

Really like the look of Leo Thompson. But concerned that his defence gets sloppy when the going gets tough late in spells. Expecting the Roosters to exploit this through the middle.

The fact that he'll be alongside Randell and possibly someone else like Momo is also concerning. That's not an NRL quality defensive middle no matter what period of the game

I don't see Jirah or Leo getting much game time.
Mann and Crossland should be sharing the lock.
Klem will want 60 minutes + - Jake will want 50 - Barny will want 50 - that's all the minutes.
Maybe Jirah will get some minutes at second row and they might squeeze Leo in for 15 minutes at prop - but I can't see them getting much time.

I think Klem will likely play big minutes

Yeah that’s it. Adzy has shown a preference for having his best forwards tough it out for big minutes even when more experienced guys who’ve proven they’re up to it like Brodie are available. No chance Jirah and Leo are on the field at the same time barring injury, their most likely use will just be spelling Klem, Barney etc for 10 mins so they can get their breath back.

More likely to see Jirah & Leo have a big run during second halves of games where we have a huge lead. Assuming that ever happens lol.
 
I think the plan is to play Jirah on Fitzgibbons edge for a decent chuck of time, otherwise we have 4 middles on the bench which makes no sense.
