The club will keep this info very close to its chest, such an important player they will want to keep other clubs guessing with match ups. Wouldn't be surprised if he's named this week like Horse was thurs night.

yep...it's a shame the club doesn't put more info on injured players up on its website. Horse will definitely play this week after Schofield said he would have been good to go if Subi's game against Souths was last Saturday instead of the previous Thursday...Dela is a worry..it sounds like he's still some weeks away which is not ideal going into the finals. On the positive side is Rhys Waters having a hitout last weekend in the ressies and the good form of Max Walters, Bogensperger et al putting pressure on the guys in the ones.

Horse was runner on thurs and was going full pace which is good, also gave the umpires a mouthful which was good to see some passion from the captain even though it resulted in a Souths free and goal. Senior spoke to Mena who said he is a 2-3 weeks away but should be 100% for finals. All this means it's vital we get top spot with a weeks rest first week of the finals, the reserves will be playing so those that need match fitness can have a run.

the problem with a weeks rest in the finals outer is that we have a bye in the last round...so not ideal going into finals without playing for 3 weeks.

That's true, you want to run in with momentum but the chance to rest injured players is also a plus
