Half the season will have gone by the time he gets fit...
I'm praying he doesn't turn out to be another bradley clyde.

The amount of injuries we're getting is worrying at such an early stage. Are we paying the price for 2 long succsesful seasons (internationals, wcc, gf's etc)?

Clyde was totaly different though to be fair.

He was coming into to "Replace" Mozza DB has come in to add depth to the squad.

How was Bradley Clyde different????
NRL legend who was the wrong side of 30 when we got hold of him,on a Megabucks contract and was basically knackered.
Do you see where I'm going with this..............

No it won't. He's due to miss 4 weeks. He'd be back by the end of March on that prognosis. Nothing like half the season.

Probably mostly suffering the effects of having a lot of internationals who have little off season if anything. On the bright side, a few players are now having an enforced off season, which could be handy later on.

sounds like a bit of health tourism to me...

Mullins arrived injured having not disclosed this information to Leeds until his arrival. Clyde is the more apt comparison.

FFS I hope not

Could be worse...

Buderus = Paul Bell?

Buderus = Tiger Woods


No not the cash, both have knee problems.

I suppose we were due some bad luck with our overseas signings as apart from Mark 'sicknote' O'Neil in recent times our success rate has been pretty good,Webb,Donald,Kylie.

Now with the Eastwood no show and Buderus only playing half a game singe getting here and now out for several more weeks, this years efforts in the overseas market are looking like more of a throwback to the Clyde and Mullins and Ben Walker era

Lauitiiti's knee (and now hamstring) have been a bit hit and miss lately as well.
