29:06 - QUESTIONS
Can you run through Cameron Murray and Taniela Paseka looking to return next week from their achilles injuries? What are they risking by coming back for 1 game?
Similar question with Jahrome Hughes, would you not just leave him til week 1 of finals? Are him, Herbie Farnworth and Isaah Yeo still big risks heading into finals?
My theory with Jake Trbojevic - he previously had one of the best techniques when it came to tackling, hardly ever had a HIA. But with his age and how much he pushes himself he’s now a little bit less alert/aware in his tackles due to fatigue which is causing an increase in concussions. Thoughts?
Did you see Reece Walsh limping? Do you think he hurt his knee?
Do you think a shorter season would decrease injuries?
Would love a deep dive into the benefits of resting players - is too much rest an issue? Eg Raiders resting players vs Dolphins, then having week 2 of finals off potentially?
With ACL hands on tests how accurate are they? Thinking about Koula
AFL vs NRL injury rates, are they similar?
If a team was made up of one player and 16 clones, who are you picking? I’ve got GI for NRL era and Munster for current players.
