45:50 - Muscle Nation Recovery Room - Q & A

Mike - How did Luke Brooks play on with a torn ACL, surely that’s unheard of?

Sydney Milk Syndicate - What’s the go with Simi Sasagi? Is he still likely to require surgery on his shoulder at some point even though he’s been cleared to play?

Bailey - Any update on Casey McLean? Will he be fit for Round 18?

Callum - Odds on Katoa making it back for SC finals in Rd 23-26? Will affect Schneider’s value as a waiver

Tom - Did you see the article on Jason Taumalolo’s injuries he has played through? How is that possible?

Mitch - Happy with the Carrigan Origin pick? No risk off the syndesmosis surgery?

Kris - How do we deal with the fact Isaako was allowed to leave the Dolphins next year, he should have been given a contract for life!

Josh - Cross code - friend of Lachy Keeffe GWS Max Gruzewski suffered a dislocated patella, what’s the prognosis? Any chance big Keeffey can come back to replace him?

John - OK are we doing this - Is Tom Trbojevic a trade in for Round 18?
