A week off and our players get a chance to chance to recharge some batteries. Our season has been disrupted by injury after injury, it finally good to see a few players coming back.
Adam has been struggling since SOO II with a shoulder and neck injury. This ruled him out of SOO III after he struggled in teh Cowboys game.
It was good to see George Burgess get a run last week for the Bears after needing to go back in and have hip surgery.
Congrtulations to Mawene Hiroti and Campbell Graham who were selected for the Australian schoolboys team.
We need to review who suffers when a player gets suspended during a SOO match. A club is left to fight chargers and pay for players defence and as well as have to deal their player missing in action from club games while they server a suspension. This doesn't hurt the SOO team as they are usually available for the next match. We need to consider a system that a player must serve a representative all or part of their charge during representative matches.
