Round 8 Teams (v Bombers): Return of the Eski

[Cheese]

Can we have regular updates on the man.

I assume he has to get through training today or is it Friday due to the Sunday game?

My bet is he will play one reserves game then go straight into the seniors.

[JudesaGun]

Any news on Malceski this week?

In particular, whether he's any chance of making the seniors squad?

[ScottH]

Doubt he'll play in the seniors, evn if fully fit.

That's why you're not the coach

I don't know what's made me happier - seeing Malceski in the 25 or not seeing Mathews there!!!

Great as it is to see Malceski back, I'm going to call @@@@ING STUPID on this if he plays.

[TheMase]

Sunday is expected to be cold with showers.

We will certainly find out how strong his knee is, for if they have any doubt and the weather comes as expected. He won't play.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

I really hope they give him atleast 2 weeks in the reserves

[NMWBloods]

Great as it is to see Malceski back, I'm going to call @@@@ING STUPID on this if he plays.

Agreed. I was expecting 2-4 weeks in the reserves.

[Claret]

If nothing else, it'll give the Bombers' match committee something else to think about in the lead up to the game.

[Legs Akimbo]

If he plays, I think all and sundry at the club have lost the plot. Are they chasing records?

[dread and might]

God it reminds me of that american gridiron movie.

Can't remember what it's called but the hero "Booby Miles" comes back from a knee and.....

never mind

So much for flicking the blokes who can't kick. I suppose with a 2 week break the strong words went to mush, petered out and went to warm and fuzzy based on Premiership brownie points. I believe Mathews wasn't the only one with lamentable disposal last week.
