Gresham has been ruled out for the rest of the year & Billings didn't come up for Saturdays game :(

Going on recent form both will be more easily replaced than in the past. Hanners, Owens and Bytel could do just as well.

Yeah, this sucks. We haven’t had decent use from Gresh since 2019. As much as it pains me to say it, perhaps putting him on the trading block might be the way to go?

Hannebery and Campbell are in, Owen's an emergency.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.

Like with Paddy it’s a bummer, though not too big a deal as the season is effectively over.

Medial meniscus for Gresh but also going in for a PCL reconstruction which may explain his form drop off if he has been struggling with that

Billings with disc compression in his back .... again if carrying that for a bit could have posed issues with form

Gresh straight swap with Hanners

Season began going pear shaped in the third quarter against Brisbane and we haven’t looked back.

Well, I can at least agree with you on that. A disaster of a quarter! The rot seemed to set in after the D-Mac concussion.

No trivial injuries for the Saints. Either season ending or multiple weeks. Really tough luck and makes continuity impossible.

Fell sorry for Gresh after coming back from long injury, but hopefully he will get his body right for early next season

Yeah I've been thinking that when I think at which point did the team lose belief for this season.

Just wondering if that shifting surface at Optus last week had something to do with Gresham’s injury?

Gresham out for the year.

Does that help or hinder the team ?


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Well replacement Campbell will improve team height, weight and strength but we lose a bit of agility. And eyebrow action.

However, Campbell will take care of the ruck, so let us see if Marshall can cut it as a forward support for King. If he fails then that is our lot for the next 4 years.

Go Saints :roll:
