I wonder whether he gets Delisted and moved to rookie list so we can pick up a fit player on primary list like Sharp as DFA.

He’s been put on the LTI

Those Kimberley 9s kids are brutal tacklers

First thought was, this is bad.
Second thought was, (and I’m sorry Corbett), not that bad.
Then I saw LTI, which means an extra list spot, and was like, actually, this is good

Can this MacDonald bloke play forward and back? Might be a busy depth swingman

Not really. The Blues tried it for a little bit before the stress fractures but nowhere near the sample size required to rely on it.
Don't need to, being LTI means we can rookie someone until he comes off which will be when his contract is up anyway. I'd say its a hard luck story for the guy.
Delisting and rookie will open up a main list spot, lets us take another DFA (then we still LTI and take another rookie)
We should be taking an extra rookie in Kueks spot though, through the SSP
Pretty sure we can just take them as main list anyway since we can run up to 38 and just take 1 less rookie but the same amount of ND as we were going to.
I imagine we're talking a similar hip injury to Isiah Thomas if he's out for the year.
Poor bloke.
Hopefully he recovers better than IT

Fwiw seems like we won't do him dirty like Celtics did IT
each extra on the main list costs us 80k, would be silly to do that when we have a clear option to save that 80k
Terrible luck for Josh. Bad timing into a contract year too. The fact that’s it’s happened before the draft night give us a chance to reassess the strategy and get another depth key forward.
That’s Kuek and Corbett out of next year now.
While Corbett wasn’t the most talented he did appear to be one of the few extroverts on the list. Having that witty chat and upbeat nature around the squad was valuable when we seem to have a lot of quieter guys (based on what Nathan Buckley said earlier this year)

Always seemed to walk with a limp and even in those videos he leans more to one side. Maybe was carrying something for a while.
That’s true instead of running 36 + 6 we run 37 (minus Corbett on LTI) + 5 plus 1-2 additional rookies to account for Corbett as LTI and Kuek if also placed LTI.
