30:18 - QUESTIONS

Last weeks pod was great - could you do an update on the longer term injuries for anyone holding players through medium term injuries?
(Injured players on SC app sorted by % ownership - Harry Grant, Jayden Campbell, Reece Walsh, Jack Gosiewski, Jamie Humphreys, Jack Howarth, Christian Tuipulotu, James Fisher Harris, Zac Lomax, Roger Tuivasa Sheck)

Ryan Papenhuyzen was goal kicking with Meaney back, do you expect him to keep that? If he loses it at any point do you think he is a sell?

How concerned are you for Foran coming back from his biceps injury? Do you think the Titans will manage and reduce his minutes?

Why would they not be getting a scan for Reynolds, do they purposely not want to find out the extent (out of sight out of mind)?

Did Purdue and Taulagi not show Cat 1 signs after their head clash? I was very confused why Purdue didn’t at least come off for a HIA

Suncorp looked pretty ripped up and now they are laying completely fresh turf this week. Should we be concerned about injuries for Magic Round?

Is Ponga a hold at this point?

Do you think the high tackle/hip drop crack downs could cause more concussions in the long run, I feel like more pressure on the defenders and more blokes are getting knocked out by knees or hips?

First time at Magic Round - any general recommendations? Top 5 places to have a beer?

Coming over from NZ - whats the best beer to drink at Magic Round?

Best injury to fake and use to get off work for Magic Round?

What is the best part about Magic Round? What are your plans for it?
