That's a league unlimited thing I am pretty sure. PI says that they hadn't decided yet as to who would be 18th man. Purtell will probably end up going... BUT there is no point really having his name there because he won't play.

Yeah, happy that Tighe is still there. Purtell doesn't make sense? Someone in the backs better have an injury concern, i'll fume if he gets a run in the forwards...

Not weird at all tbh. Would've given the Storm the wake up call they needed, unfortunately for the Knights.
