Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3108323, member: 9853"] [B]Meyn[/B] & [B]Badel [/B]jump the gun in the[I] Courier Mail [/I]just now: [I]They're predicting the NRL Integrity Unit will recommend a sidelining of up to three weeks in their report to the ARL on Friday following Joe's crime against his carseat. [B]Seibold[/B] says 19 yr old development player, Jr Kiwi captain, [B]Jordan Riki[/B] is next in line to plug the leaks up front:[/I] “Jordan has been with us in the full-time setup for 12 months. He came through our EPD (elite player development) program. We recruited him from New Zealand and he’s been in the system for a couple of years. We’ve seen immense growth in the physical side of his preparation. He’s worked really hard and is in great shape. When he first came into the full-time squad he had a fair bit to do in that area. He played a lot of Queensland Cup last year and captained the Junior Kiwis. He’s got a good pedigree and is a terrific young guy with a great attitude who wants to get better. He’s a development list player at the moment, but with us having a few injuries he will come into calculations. You can apply for dispensation and exemptions. We’d certainly look at that if we got a couple of injuries.” “We will play him this week off the bench as a middle forward, we want to get a good look at him. I was really impressed with his game in the All Stars. He was very good. He is only 19 so we’ve got another young one coming through. He’s got himself into a position where he is competing really hard.” [I]On whether [B]Joe [/B]will be suspended:[/I] “Possibly, [B]we don’t know yet.[/B] We’re waiting to hear back from the Integrity Unit. He has played a heap of minutes so I was trying to rotate through some of the other guys like Jordan (at training). Joe will play this week, but because he’s done a lot of reps with the main group I wanted to get some of the younger guys through.” McHunt [/QUOTE]
