Gorringe will have his work cut out in his first game.  In fact, the entire team will have a huge challenge to be competitive.

It's interesting that Wood is an emergency.  Does that mean he's been upgraded in place of Charlie Curnow?

Meanwhile, Cameron Wood has been elevated from the rookie list as the replacement for Harry McKay, who was previously placed on the club’s long-term injury list.

McKay was placed on LTI when he was first injured. Curnow is at the club on light duties but not sure when he will be fit again. Could be two weeks could be two months no one knows but is improving.

We have to keep the ball away from their forward line so a high intensity mid field effort from us will be paramount. If Wood is the emergency I wonder if Gorringe is under some doubt?

prefer wood to gorringe to be honest but he might surprise

[BluePhantom]

Nothing like being thrown in the deep end, we'll quickly find out if he will sink or swim.
