Wildcats injury news?

On the one hand its a good move, in that they will get a extra week, and are only missing one more game, and against the worst team.

Could get interesting, hopefully Perth will get out to great start again.

Plus, Gleeson can flog Kay & Cotton without worrying about game 2.
(Get it, flog?)

Anything can happen, but if both teams play as they have been, Perth should get the win.

If all 3 are now non-starters then Perth will not be missing any starters for that game which is great news for them. They should probably win now.

"On the other hand it's a good chance to give the development players a run."

They'll get to match up against our ex-bench, much like the training sessions of last season, but in a real game!

Cairns are a shambles, it doesn't matter who suits up for Perth expect a Cats win.

It's precisely this type of thinking that will lose you games.

There have been many examples so far this season of favoured teams going into games a bit off or lacking intensity, and they more often than not lose.

From the release the Wildcats put out it looks like fitness tests all round

Marto isn't as impactful as he once was. White and Brandt being out will definitely hurt more... Perth need to get past Cairns this week, because the NZ games will be a slog. I think NZ are starting to look quite good, no one in the league can stop Wesley right now. If Long sorts out his foul trouble, they will finish top 2.

NZ aren't the team they once were. Last time they collapsed in the 4th quarter in Perth.
They really need a quality PG.

Plus, 2 weeks, I would not be surprised to see Martin suit up for that game.

And the return will favour the Cats.

Will it? They have to fly from Perth to NZ, then NZ to Perth, in the space of a couple of days. NZ only have to make one of those trips.

Umm, no they couldn't.
In fact that result (whilst always theoretically possible) would be highly unlikely.

Cairns are already putting a new drawer in the kitchen. If they sucked any worse, there'd be a giant sinkhole in FNQ.

Sure, Perth are down to about 5 decent players, but that still puts them about 3 in front of Cairns.

NZ in NZ are always tough, but they've got 2 weeks to sort that. And the return will favour the Cats.

My understanding was that it's the other calf not the one injured in preseason. Also there is a direct flight now they can take to cut travel time to Auckland I think.

I'd be very surprised if he came back from a recurring calf problem that quickly. Probably needs at least a month out.

No way that short a rotation can survive, they need bodies
