Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3108105, member: 9853"] [B]Seibold[/B] addresses [B]Glenn's[/B] injury and Bird's [B]RED HOT CRACK[/B] in today's[I] Courier Mail[/I]. “Alex definitely won’t play this week. He had a scan yesterday and we will know where it’s at. He is walking around and looks OK but we don’t want to take any risks at this time of year. He tweaked it attempting to score a try but we’re hopeful he will be right for round one. With any hammy you get the relevant scan so we will know more after seeing the results. I’m confident Alex won’t miss round one. He’s had a disrupted pre-season with his hammy so we won’t risk him this weekend. I will name a large squad for this trial. I will finish the game with some of our younger players, most of our senior guys have had good minutes in the pre-season.” “Jack is going to start again. I’ve been really happy with him, particularly defensively. A lot of people don’t see what fullbacks do in defence. He has worked really hard and is really good at organising the defensive splits and line defence. We’ll get another look at him this weekend. “On the other side, Jamayne is very athletically gifted and brings a lot of qualities. It is a really tough competition. Both players have shown some good signs, but Birdy is going to start again this week. Definitely, he has been tremendous. It’s like having a new recruit in some ways, a quality new recruit who has won a premiership and played Origin. He’s played limited games the last couple of years. He would probably say that physically he was below his best the last two years, but that was in some way because of the injuries he’s had. I’m really happy with how he’s trained. Physically he looks great. He’s got a really good energy to him at the moment and is in a really positive frame of mind." “He’s set himself up to have a [B]red-hot crack [/B]so I’m really pleased for Jack.” McHunt [/QUOTE]
