@Bovidae said in Highlanders 2025:
Is Howden injured?
No Howden, Taine Robinson or Umaga Jenson. Other than JRK and Haig I think that’s everyone off the top of my head
-
@Landers92 oh yeah, TUJ, was looking forward to seeing him back in midfield
-
Just seen a Members Exclusive.
-
Starting Team are those who are the fittest and have had the most time on the grass
-
3x 30 Min periods, so the second and third sides will be a bit of a mixture
-
Tengbald is on an NDC and has impressed, gets a run with a few injury niggles
-
-
Some clues here for the season I guess
-
Firstly the inclusion of Tengblad really indicates they seem to think he might feature sometime this season. He’s never played first class and is right in the mix for pre season.
-
Secondly with all halfbacks off contract except Hastie it’s interesting to see Lennox getting a run. They must see a real future for him. Wonder if our halfbacks next season will be Hastie, Pledger and Lennox?
-
Sam Gilbert at 15 from a practical perspective makes sense given JRK is injured. But damn he just can’t lock down a position.
-
I wouldn’t read too much into the lineups here beyond that pre season games are always about giving everyone a run and building depth. Especially game 1. TUJ, Robinson, Howden, Stodart, Ma’au and De Groot not getting a run isnt surprising.

@Chris said in Highlanders 2025:
dislocated his kneecap last week
what the fuck?
Any half decent professional league and this would have been breathlessly reported before he had even got to the hospital for his scans.
8-10 weeks is an eternity in a comp this short

ironically, a game camera like we use that follows the ball automatically is not a hell of a lot more, $2-3k

but the rugby fan version....happily reminding others of when their best players were injured
