Congrats to Semo being named on the bench. Good hard working kid.

Stacey will be a handful on the weekend I reckon. That's a very dangerous back 3 for the Rising.

does anyone know why Timani and Ah Nau aren't playing, i assume injured. if so, how long are they out ? also whats the update on Time Metcher ?

Is it just me or do others think Chubb looks like a fat Cipriani?

hadn't noticed.

speaking of Danny, really hope he makes the England 31, he was really impressive off the bench against France. also one of my all time favourite Rebels

So, us Melbourne GAGR types will be presenting our Shield to either Nick Frisby or Scott Fuglistaller.

Go Rising!

Nick will be excited to be bringing it up to qld. Should make the youngest player in the squad carry it.

It was a medial cruciate ligament injury going by what the medic said. The extent of damage, I have no idea. She did say he'd 'done' his medial but so I imagine he'll be out for a while sadly.

Thankfully he is not an NRL player,as that is their code for
"he's been bashing his mrs,and she has blown up about it"

Now Sully, that is just being deliberately provocative. You know that Vic border customs will never allow products made of wood to leave the state.

It's ours, baby!

She made that diagnosis remarkably quick, rather impressive... But, I was hoping that she was wrong and it wasn't as bad as first thought
