Injury Warriors Injury Thread 2020

Why is Maumalo out? injured or dropped ????

Hamstring SMH

 

[JaggedJ]

Of course Pompey brings nothing extra to the table. Else he would have been in the starting 13 to begin with!

Yeah, doesn't work like that.

 

[Swanny]

At the end of the day it's just stats.

Against Canberra he had 10 runs and 123m, the Knights 15 runs for 115m. One was played in atrocious conditions and the other against probably the best defensive side in the comp right now.

We only need to replace 26 runs and 280 if the game/possession flows exactly the way it did against the Dragons, but the Panthers aren't as shit so I wouldn't expect it.

Last year Maumalo averaged something like 180m a game, Pompey is good for half that. If the forwards can't step up for an extra 90m then we probably weren't winning anyway.

The problem is that Pompey brings nothing extra to the table so it's a definite downgrade. Just not as much as a single outlier of a game suggests.

Not really a single outlier of a game when he was in the top 3 last year for metres gained and post contact metres. Post contact metres and play the ball speed are not something easy to replicate

When is Roache back?

TBH I'd rather not try to replicate it, it's the result of a shit game plan. We just don't have the players to do anything different.

Our wing and fullback are in the middle of the field carting it up 40-50 times a game, sometimes twice a set. And people wonder why we never try to attack on early tackles or inside our own half.

Hayze,you might as well come to the Chiefs.
Everytime we think your in.
Your not.
Pompey, hope you step up brother
Backline looks shit without Hiku's and Maumalo's name in it.

[Aman]

Jeez, we must be desperate if we're eagerly awaiting the retrun of mighty Jazz

 

[Fonzie]

Fins up bra!

 

[PullinTeeth]

Are all these injuries for real, or are our players playing the long game and taking the covid year off and 2021 year of the Warrior

 

[Worried2Death]

Fins up bra!

Apparently we're pretty good, might follow the comp until we get an NRL franchise one day

 

[fizurg]

Let’s gone dolphins.

 

[wizards rage]

Unbelievable. Lucky the reserve grade has been scrapped this year because we wouldn’t have enough players to field a team.

 

[zaggo]

Have we ever had this many lower limb injuries? That's not even taking into consideration the three season-ending knee injuries we had! Are they filling their boots with concrete or something? I guess that'd explain the lack of speed...

 

[Noitall]

Katoa out for 3 weeks.

 

[wrighty]

Katoa out for 3 weeks.

Sad face
Exasperating decision to bring him back on the field at half time last week.

 

[Blain]

Latest from NRL.com;

• Kodi Nikorima (HIA, round 10)
• Eliesa Katoa (ankle, round 10)
• Adam Keighran (knee, 11-13)
• Nathaniel Roache (knee, round 12-14)
• Leeson Ah Mau (pectoral, indefinite)
• Rocco Berry (back, indefinite)
• Taane Milne (knee, season)
• Jackson Frei (knee, season)
• Bunty Afoa (knee, season)
• Selestino Ravutaumada (season)

I didn't know about Berry or Stino. Ken and Fusitua leaving next week, I guess we still have Perham, Pompey, Turner and Beale left. Not much pace in that lot..
