Holmes and Herbert injuries

We mostly saw Burdon come on for the last 1 or 2 minutes and swish 1 or 2 threes. Would have been good/will be good to see him for a bit longer.
I'd guess what we really need is a big turn around in form from Hill (who is playing with injury) and Groves, who battled hard in the last 2 games, and possibly in Woolongong could play OK.
Woolongong will be without Ty Mckee, which is a big help for us.

Thought you might like him here X..

Burdon would do the same as Rillie, but younger.

And Holmes is only meant to miss one game, so he can play the 3.

Sorry linky no worky..

Quote from Boti that keep all on here interested.

"It was a busy Christmas for the 36ers as they devised a contingency plan which includes activating Tom Garlepp and, most likely, crowd favourite Erik Burdon.

The Sixers had looked at talented guard Damian Ryan - back from Europe and training with Melbourne - but could not accommodate him within the NBL's points system.

Committed to making the playoffs, club management also has looked at interim player options such as Luke Martin and Daniel Joyce."


Ryan has been queroied on here, Burdon I like, and I am sure that a lot of Hoops people will be happy that the name Daniel Joyce has come up...

What a time for Jacob to become injured with his wedding coming up in less than a week. I wonder how he managed his bucks night limping on crutches.

I'd guess we are in troubles without a SF.

Burston/some Cooper
Ballinger/some Burston
Hill/some Cooper
Ng/some Groves
Gilchrist some Groves

Maybe.

Hill Groves Cooper Ng for about 30mins
(u23 garlepp rubbish time)
Guys that are good at having a go at minutes, Xztatik and the like . Can you indicate how we'd do it ?

That's the sort of sportsmanship you expect in the NBL.

I would suggest 99.9% of NBL players have respect for one another, can only think of one cane toad who would probably not

BIG losses. 2 players in good form.
(Hill and Groves are struggling for form)

i like the term 'accidently' Isaac with Nathan Herberts injury. Bet if it was the other way round, it would have been push and shove. Martins actions werent accidental. However the injury to Holmes does worry me.

and Holmes the kinda injury that takes about a month.
Oh! my goodness..

Yeah, big losses for us last night. Hope they both can get back soon, because we're a pretty soft team without them. Unfortunately Holmes foot injury is likely to take weeks!

Herbie seems to have grown in the last few games. His impact was evident and when he was off you saw we lacked the hustle needed.

Someone else posted something about boards, well Jake is the leading rebounded in the league. He was certainly missed last night in the second half.

Hope both fellas get better soon and the injuries are not too serious.

Arguably these injuries wre the beginning of the end for the 6ers last night...hope both are OK and back up and going sooner rather than later.
