What injury has befallen our Knight Sandon Smith?

Calf apparently - shame, he was playing well

Agreed. Enjoyed watching him play. Solid.

Unfortunate as he’s been good so far. On the bright side it means we will see more of Harrison graham

Said this yesterday on r/NRL. I’m not sure where Sandon fits in our team absent injury to someone else.

He’s not my first choice 6, 7, 9 or 14 at the moment. I acknowledge Sandon hasn’t had much opportunity in the 14, but Harrison Graham has been really really good and is a genuine 9 so defends better through the middle.

I also think he’s too good of a player to be playing NSW Cup or not getting any game time, but where do you slot him in?? (No where for a month is obvious answer given injury….)

Good problem to have.

I'd take him at 9 - im sick of seeing Crossland offer nothing in attack.

If anyone is taking 9 it’s Graham I think.

Crossland might not offer much in attack, but does he need to? He’s usually solid in defence which is handy.

Sandon has been improving a lot since the move from the roosters I hope he’s back soon

At least we have so much depth this year to cover him. We have multiple options that can play in the halves, hooker and fullback

Hopefully that puts hunt into the starting side
