Apologies JM, I have retracted that part. I was going by this that you posted in the training report last week
I don't comment on injuries so please don' ask but it is safe to sayChapman did some limited running and Ambrose quite a bit. I suspect Ryder and Carlisle won't play but that's as far as I would venture to guess.
Yes, you didn't mention they were injured, I made that assumption
I was just joking with you - seems I started a rumour myself last week.
Can we just belt this mob off the park and move onto taking apart the rats on Anzac day? Is it too much to ask?
I hope we put on a clinic.
Zaka and Melk both trained today, as did everyone else who was supposed to be affected.
No, resting is when they are pretty much full fit but want to freshen them up.Resting players in Round 5 when we're only 2-2?
No.
I'm talking about the players who were hit with the bug and still had to play in the heat due to other injuries. Goodwin did say they will have a light week this week (mainly due to the heat on Sunday) but also because of the bug. So if Zaka and Melksham are still ill and will only be able to train on say Thursday after being bed ridden for 3 days, wouldn't it make sense to leave them out?
Carlisle, Goddard, Thurlow (and Dempsey) only notable absentees today. Will be interesting to see if Carlisle trains Friday.
Ryder and Tbell did the whole session, Tbell clearly at 50% but Ryder looks good to go. Chappy, Myers and Fletch all looked fine. Heppell didnt do any running.
Kav stuck doing laps, dont know what the deal is there.
Was good to see Browne walking around unimpeded, by the sounds of it a successful surgery.
I didnt hang round till the end of training, so if something exciting happened at the end I missed it.
Thanks for the report. Did Ambrose train?
Didnt see him, but someone was working with Heppell whom I couldnt see.
Surely if Bomba is sick Goodwin would coach?
