Re: Josh Battle Injury
Whilst I feel sorry for him, Battle did alot right in his games since coming in so the injury isn't a massive hit. Its really about him playing a couple more games this year to set him up for the next year and beyond. He is still only 19 and has plenty of development left in him. A bit of rest will be good for him.
Bruce is a very handy replacement for Battle and a good footballer. Its good we have depth in the big man department. If Bruce was injured, even Marshall or Goddard could play forward. Again, we have decent depth...we just need more kids to come on (which they are starting to) and get in a couple of fast skilled mids.

Re: Josh Battle Injury
The way Membrey and Paddy have played since Josh came in shows exactly why we should have been playing 3 key forwards all year. Bruce has to come in to maintain that setup.

Re: Josh Battle Injury
Just one of those years when not much goes right.For me Battle and Long are 2 real shining lights that have been dimmed by injuries,however the future looks bright with these two

Re: Josh Battle Injury
Don't want to risk the Battle Ax so let him heal up. Josh Bruce will need to play and play well this weekend as he is no longer a guaranteed starter anymore. Nice to have a little depth as well

Re: Josh Battle Injury
Arghh! Bloody Hell. I was really looking forward to selections this week and where the Josh Bruce and Josh Battle magnets would land. Bruce now comes straight into the forward line, whereas Richo could have experimented with Bruce up the ground if Battle wasn't injured.

Re: Josh Battle Injury
Bummer.
Richo will be relieved at not having to make a hard call on whether Battle is good enough to keep Bruce out.
It’s a shame. Personally I would have brought Bruce back to replace Brown and Battle would have kept his spot up forward.

Re: Josh Battle Injury
I doubt Bruce would have come in as a back when he hasn't played there in years.
Battle will be back in a few weeks.

Re: Josh Battle Injury
I saw it happen it was a Philipino coaching assistant. He threw a chair at Battle causing the eye injury.

Re: Josh Battle Injury
Why can't we play all four in the forward line?
Battle, Membrey and Bruce are all very mobile.
And Paddy not too nad either.
Thwy would be better than Weller at least

Re: Josh Battle Injury
Battle and Membrey have the mobility to run down catch and tackle an opponent.
Bruce is too clumsy.
Paddy could not catch a snail even if someone has stomped on it.

Re: Josh Battle Injury
Rotate them thru the bench and up and down the field -
all can roam and alll can play out from the square when required
Keep the opposition defence guessing
Worth a try

Re: Josh Battle Injury
What a bloody nuisance. I absolutely loved Battle's game last Sunday. Will be good to see the other Josh back, should he get the call up. Providing Bruce can find some form, when Battle comes back, I think we could slot Bruce in that backline nicely, particularly if Brown is still injured.
