When is Isaah Yeo due back? Are you worried about his re-injury risk?

Can you think of a time the hands on tests were wrong regarding ACL tears?

KL Iro/Matty Nicholson/Jaydn Su’a/Murray Taulagi due back any time soon? Any worth a flier for draft finals?

Whats your opinion on the reason for so many syndesmosis injuries in the NRLW this season?

What one rule would you change to help the most with injuries?

If PED’s were legal do you think there would be more or less injuries?

What do you see on an MRI of a muscle tear? Is it like a piece of meat that is torn?

If you punch yourself in the face and you cry, are you weak for crying or strong for making yourself cry?

Not a question just a story - my mate just walked past Cam McInnes house and he was out the front mowing the lawn. ANIMAL

I know its illegal but any insights on the Harry Wilson injury for the Wallabies?
