Adam - Another hamstring injury for Mitch Woods, what does he do now?

John - How realistic is the Blues claim that Ethan Strange spent 20 hours with the physio?

Kiwi Angler - Any word on Leka Halasima? Came off first half and didn’t come back on

Blake - What’s your thoughts on interviewing players after failing HIA’s?

Lyle - What are the factors that result in the Panthers winning the injury ladder each year, it’s crazy!

GK - With the advancements in rehab and treatment, if Taniela Tuiaki were to be injured today would he still have had to retire early?

Don - I’m interested in your take on how well players are managing to get through the WC after a very long season? How does the recovery process work with those short tournaments?

Everyone - give us your thoughts on Conor McGregor!
