k, cheers. Warriors always seem to have 1 or 2 players out. Rarely absolutely full strength I reckon.
Yeah pretty much whenever Wright is in the team somebody is out. Probs Manu Kony and Hoffman off being full strength. Actually beginning to tolerate Townsend as the season goes on.
First time I have ever seen Townsend and I hope it is the last. I won't be tuning in again if he is going to be on my TV. Not an NRL standard player. And if he is NRL standard player in the year 2015 he certainly wouldn't have been in the 1980s. Other observation from the game which I hadn't thought about before now, is that a good carry by your props even if it is gets repelled by the defensive team still has a purpose. It sends a message and typically the line speed of the defensive team on the next tackle is a bit slower. Sorry if that sounds like league 101 - I don't watch much NRL.
Being lower leg amd where he is holding looks like a syndesmosis. That'll be 8-12 weeks, so yep, season gone. Might be good for Tests if they have any.
Ah well might be a chance to see what Lolohea can do in the halves if that's the way they decide to go.
