Funny bugger, aren't you.
Just saw on the news that due to health cuts they are still waiting for a bed.
OK, who's injured?

That'll teach you idiots not come to Sydney and get injured anywhere west of Five Dock. If they'd have been at the SFS they'd have had a gold plated helicopter cart the injured to Prince of Wales. As it is, you'll be lucky if the Emergency medical staff don't drag Horwill around the back of the hospital and shoot him.

Agree. One of my favourite players. World XV quality every year for the past 5 (well at least 3).

Horwill will miss at least a week with lateral ligament damage in his left ankle, while Rod Davies (cheekbone and hip flexor), Peter Hynes (knee) and Eddie Quirk (ribs) will require tests.
NSW skipper Waugh will likely miss at least a week with a bicep problem, however Polota-Nau (head knock and shoulder) and Barnes should recover fine.

The dire fallout for the Reds extends to skipper James Horwill (ankle ligaments) certainly being out of Saturday night's clash against the ACT Brumbies in Canberra.
Winger Rod Davies will have X-rays on the cheekbone he fractured last year.
Fullback Peter Hynes (knee), flanker Ed Quirk (ribs) and prop Ben Daley (shoulder stinger) are also in the casualty ward.

I worry about Polota-Now.
He receives a lot of man-love but never seems to be totally free from injury. He's got a dodgy shoulder right now which, as you say, seems to be a result of over-enthusism or poor technique. To try to dampen this enthusiasm may snuff out his destructive ability.
I hope we are not witnessing a flash-in-the-pan type player.

Digby Ioane just posted this pic of Rod Davies up on Twitter a short time ago.

There are only a couple of reds who have made any progress in my eyes this season so far - Ioane and Davies. One coming back from injury and showing his previous appetite for contact, and the second .... well, I thought he was a fast lightweight. Now he is fast, lightweight, but at least committed.

Big blow. Luckily Willem Alberts came through on the EOYT. Half decent season for him and he will start in the RWC. Alternative will be to play Burger and Brussow together. Depends on oppo.
We lose buckets in leadership without Juan though and we don't often get outmuscled with him around.

Phil Waugh could well be out for 3 months. Lucky for him it's a longer season now.

Waugh looks to have ruptured a biceps tendon, surgery, 3 months.

PlaRug "Waugh was not the only casualty to come out of the clash, with man of the match Tatafu Polota-Nau to undergo scans on his shoulder."
I keep screaming at the TV to get him off each time he went down - but apparently "in space no-one can hear you scream" Alien.

It was 3 weeks before the start of the season so he'll be back after the bye which is after the Crusaders game. It's tough who to bench.

I'd imagine it'd be better easing him back in from the bench considering how long he's been out and how well the replacements are going. He'll be an excellent player to have running off the bench for a few weeks, and it'd help ease him back in. It's taken the two Bens quite a while to work back in, and they still aren't up to their previous standard, and we certainly don't want to do a Horwill with him and have him injured two games after his return.

I think we should loan TPN out to one of the Kiwi franchises. As much as I have a huge man-crush on him and he is favourite player, the new competition has too many local derbies and TPN is a killing machine. If he keeps putting on hits like that there will be no injury-free wallabies available for the World Cup.
Maybe we can get a G&GR highlights real on all the big hits of the game on the weekend?

You should loan him to a south african team other than the Bulls. He seems to always missile himself at FDP, happens every time they play against each other.
Its funny how someone that hits and runs like a train can throw bachanded offloads and overhead passes. Absolute legend

Not that sharpest tool in the shed TPN is he?
Just back from a long injury and every tackle made he has to project himself like a human missile. Sometimes it's okay to just stop the guy and contest.
Guys like him and Schalk Burger always look like they could break themselves in half.

Almost shat myself when I saw him lying like he was in a coffin after one of the hits
