Ossy - Is playing a week after a deep laceration a risk of infection even if it’s been surgically cleaned and stitched up?

DJ - are you expecting any clubs to start shutting down their guns and sending them off for surgery or still a little early?

Alex - Will Tom Trbojevic be back to full form after only 2 weeks off?

Ross - why do players have to see a neurosurgeon after multiple concussions in a short period?

Taylor - can we have a physics lesson on a ball coming out of the hands backwards but travelling forwards eg Dom Young last night?

Michael - Do you think Sam Walker is a good buy? He has to have the biggest season SC score range in history, -1 to 207
