Whenever I hear that music (Fleur de Lis…edit: Für Elise), I feel like I’ve been put on hold!

No, I always think of some version of this for hold music. 🤣

I love Jake Bowey and he is certainly a very important part of our defence, but if one injury is the difference between premiership chance and also ran then the list is cr@p

Petty 2021 grasped the opportunity and earned a medallion when the in form Tomlinson did his knee - hopefully someone will seize the opportunity and make Jake earn his recall. I seem to remember when Tommo went down there were soothsayers who wrote off our season.

Naysayers or not every team would have a tipping point with injuries where they can no longer win the flag, make the finals etc. Just about the best (and worst) part of following sports are the surprises. Maybe someone steps up and our backline turns out to be as good or better than the one of recent years. I suspect we'll almost cover Bowey. And what ups and downs! Was he 17-nil and a premiership medallion to start? Certainly he and the team have had misfortune and big challenges since. Question.... are there specific players who after having the same injury ended up playing as well or better after?

Isn't that every Demonlander? 🤣

Yes I think so, but considering the invective on the site I sometimes wonder… Gen X, just the latest bunch of Peter Pan wannabes…
