Yes, there was some black intel going around last week, mainly about Scots #12. He did seem to have a heavily strapped leg but this did not hinder his ability to kick the ball to Wollongong.I missed the Joeys Scots clash at the Death Star last weekend, just catching up properly. I hadn’t realised Ollie Cummins played, they must have got hold of some holy water from Lourdes to fix that broken collar bone. I heard they were shocked that Max Jorgensen wasn’t playing. I would bet that the behind the scenes panic about whether or not they could widen the field quickly was slap stick at its absolute best, oh to be a fly on the wall. Hilarious, Brian Smith really is the caricature of the evil genius who out smarted himself, again. Reminds me of the time he tried to have Hugh Bockenham ruled ineligible because he had broken his thumb a few weeks earlier. Then players went out after Hugh trying to end his participation early, was it 1 or 2 yellow cards later before they realised Hugh is not a player you can intimidate?
Joeys #15 was always not going to play. He really smashed his shoulder agaisnt Newington with a come from the clouds missile tackle. As soon as he did so he was clutching his shoulder. Other players at Joeys with some injury concerns turned out to be false flags.
And yes, if they had a wider pitch Joeys would have been in trouble. To the credit of the smaller Joeys wingers, they did use the sideline well.
