Asked the question weeks back

Seems to be but no one can give an answer - his possession output is down

If its not an injury it is because he is playing more of a shut down role??

His twin is playing. He's definitely not the same player as last year. He was like a running battering ram last year.

Armo is cooked !
Poached possum, perhaps?


*Allegedly.

Is he cooking his groins for dinner?


In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. The people that came in, they're eating the cats. They’re eating – they are eating the pets of the people that live there.

He's carrying a groin. Next week, someone else will be carrying it for him.

Maybe he should have a rest then if it is that.

Has definitely lost that line breaking run and outside link up play that took him to another level last year. If he's got a groin injury that would explain the lack of run as it takes away your turning and acceleration power. My understanding is he also battles a chronic bad back which would limit his flexibility. Still works hard inside.

Almost right.

Seb is playing more Armo's role of 2015; Armo seems to be doing more run-with jobs this year.

Still good that we don't have to rely on Armo like we did last year.

If he is injured why not just rest him?

This!

IU've been saying for weeks that Armo is a concern. He's slower and less powerful, ie getting caught way too often. Subsequently his confidence is down and he's starting to fumble. His kicking has no penetration at all. A groin injury would make complete sense. He still tries his guts out but with far less output. They should rest him - groin injuries can be chronic

Because we are pushing for a top 4 spot this year. Just need to win ALL of our remaining games and a few percentage boosters and Bob's your Aunty!

You bump his threads, often come to his rescue like a knight in armour and drop his name where you can.

You really are saynta's little helper aren't you Loris!

If I was to guess I'd say back, sometimes he overuns the footy cause he can't bend down.
