This is exactly why you have to win the GF when you get into it because you're never guaranteed to get back into he big dance. It feels a lot like 2025 might be our final shot with this group
 
Maybe not too bad then. Could be back shortly after our next bye if this is accurate.

Repeat ACL injury is different though, remembering he has ruptured his ACL twice before (2019/2023). Wouldn’t expect him back until round 18+ at a minimum.

This season is feeling more and more ominous.

2023 might have been the moment
You wonder how much these blows take out of the group mentally as well, especially after where we’ve been the last few years.

We needed to strike, in particular last year, whilst we’ve had such a great injury run, because your luck eventually runs out.

I do hope if our season does go off the rails we stop playing the old guys like Zorko, Lester and Oscar and get some games into the kids like Morris, Brain, HSmith and Torrent
Relax mate we aren’t going directly into a rebuild, we still have a ‘win now’ team IMO although admittedly things did just get a lot harder.

Edit - just reread and you said ‘if it…’

Carry on
 
We made it to a Grand Final last year without Doedee on the list, we can do it again.
If Payne can get some mongrel back in his game, with Lester and Gardiner as support we will be fine.
Can’t have any more injuries in that backline though.
