Good time for Hodg's to dominate and show the rest how good this guy really is. Our pack still will be pretty dam good, mobile anyway run the cannes off their feet I hope the weather will be hot and humid..... The lads wil do well, they will be so pumped up they maybe a surprise in the air..........

Browny and Bam both out for 6 weeks ....

[AndyS]

Actually, the RWA release has both of them rated as at least 6 weeks...

Dude, weren't you talking the cannes up all week, now that Browny and Bam are out you change your tune.....that doesn't make sense to me!

Do we need to start sacrificing goats or something?

Spit roast
If we get absolutely slaughtered, the pain will be less

Certainly makes the next few weeks a time of opportunity for newbies or bit players to make their mark. Highly unlikely that any will play consistantly well for 80 minute periods but a good opportunity none the less. Glimpes of brilliance or even consistant solid play could be the making of some of these guys.
Went to a young friend's funeral today, her favourite saying was 'Don't wait for the storm to pass, learn to dance in the rain'. Amazing how many facets of life that fits.
Let's dance.

I am being realistic the Cannes should win and win easily but it will be an opportunity for some EWF members to shine and be noticed - a new talent will come out of all these uphieval.
Hodg's an example he will have take over Bam's roll and be the scavanger

I find Pocock's injury a bit odd really. I mean Brownie you could see was in pain and was definitely injured and injured badly but I saw Pocock after the game and it didn't look like he had any hand issues besides that it took what 3 or 4 days to bring it up. Maybe I'm being paranoid.

[Burgs]

That said James, he played 15 minutes with a shattered finger (having earlier nearly ripped it off thinking it was only dislocated and trying to reseat it!) against Wales.
I'm starting to think he may have a pretty high pain threshold...
