      That really sucks. He's our only decent ruckman, Cameron would be handy... I can't see the poor bloke coming back from this one.

        It took 24 months last time. We only have one genuine ruckman and 17 stopgaps.

          Here is what I would like to see

          B: Oriodan, Brand, Rampe
          HB: Ling, Blakey, Gould
          C: Florent, Parker, Stephens
          HF: Papley, Heeney, Dawson
          FF: E Taylor, McLean, L Taylor
          Foll: Mills, Sinclair, Kennedy

          IC: Hewett, Lloyd, Rowbottom, Macinerny

          At least try to change things up a bit.

          That team is taking into account current injuries as well as what I think is the future.

              The situation is dire.

                I love Naismith, hes actually lowkey my favourite player, but if what everyone is saying is true , then he's off the list. We've invested so much into him only for him to be cruelled by injuries.

                  The anterior draw test didn’t look good

                    If it is true it wouldn’t surprise me if he gave it away

                      If that’s the case it will definite be acl. Also horse wouldn’t have said in the presser it looks like he’s done his knee if they weren’t basically sure clinically

                        The 24 months is unusually long. 12 more realistic unless there are complications (but he’ll be 29-30 with 2 games in 3-4 years).

                          Maybe it’s time for Allir to ruck full time

                            I feel the same way about him. He'd be a great ruck and seems a lovely guy, following him on Instagram. But he wouldn't play again until 2022. We need a first choice ruck in the next off-season. We can't even blood a youngster. The cupboard is not just bare, it's booby-trapped.

                              Shattered for Sam. But it may well be the point we have to draw the line in the sand with him.

                                12 months is also July, so 8 weeks to go normally..... best case he is good for preseason next year
