How the hell did Keaon Koloamatangi play a week after fracturing his eye socket?

Did you see the footage of Reece Walsh from the warm up today? Surely it can’t be good for him to play on in that much pain?

Whats the story with all the injuries in NSW camp? I heard the Eels weren’t happy about Moses training

What’s with all these guys backing up with niggles? Eg Payne Haas and Hudson Young. Is this all just a “ticking time bomb”?

Why did the Warriors keep Metcalf on when he was so clearly restricted?

How did Jonah Pezet’s return game go?

Thoughts on team injury reports and why they hide injuries?

Does Jason Taumalolo’s age and multiple calf injuries make him a high injury risk?

What’s your best possible current spine using players from any team?
