48:55 - Muscle Nation Recovery Room

Kelly - Why is Reece Walsh missing up to 6 weeks this time when he came back quicker in the past?

Josh - Question regarding Jacob Preston - he got a knock last week and was hampered all game. This week heavily strapped and was grabbing it at times after a tackle. Strapping looked like PCL? Wondering if it’s something else and if there’s any SC implications?

Russ - As a mooney owner, wondering what issue his upper R leg is strapped for?

Ugzilla - Do you expect Payne Haas to remain around 50, or was he just eased back this week? Hold or sell?

Rheid - Do you think it’s best for Newcastle if they rest Sharpe when Dylan Brown returns? Or will he have fully recovered from his PCL injury by then?

Sam - Where is John Bateman? No longer on the injury list and couldn’t see him in Cup

Patty - With so many injuries to the guns around the comp (walsh, best, grant, critta etc.) what options would you be looking at and is it worth holding any until they return - mainly walsh given it could be a quick return but also could be 4 weeks or so

Josh - What’s the temperature on Jacob Kiraz after watching for a few weeks? Think he needs a Lachy Keeffe rev up speech?

Micky - Best Reece Walsh replacement over the coming weeks?
