Any confirmation on his injury?
Looked like a pec tear
He did look ok after the game and doesn't look like he was ever subbed off... maybe just a burner?

i didnt see it, but by that time i was playing with my greyhound

when did he do it?
Reeled out of a tackle holding his shoulder... just before Nicho got binned.

Yeah he stayed on the ground clutching at it.
Wasn't certain if he did get subbed off or not.

Just saying - didn't miss a tackle

Some good runs too

Might be the best level/consistency his defense has been at
Yeah he looked hard to handle for sure. Not sure where that's been the last 19 rounds though.

Wonder if he does pull out and it looks like just a week off if we'd go Tracey right so Iro can play on his usual left, or if we'd start Tracey on left as he may be staying there long term and have Iro do his one week on the right until Ramien is back?

Iro on the right I think would put him directly vs Parker who is solid enough and high effort but probably doesn't have any characteristics that would worry me like Koula's pace vs Iro might. A slightly bad read vs him and he's gone

I think Gumby might disagree with this.

iro should be good enough to handle parker and a union target if he is serious about playing first grade in future
He should be able to, I agree

Wish all out team consistently did what they should be able to do...

What are people's thoughts on shifting Ramien to the left edge?

Defensively, he might plug a hole and with Ronaldo outside of him could be a deadly combo. He has an offload and can draw and break tackles.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure they used to play next to each other previously?

Ron has played on both sides for sure, don't think Jesse has though.

Thought he was great tonight amazing in attack and D

Definitely think he could fix the left edge

You can’t have Connor next to tricky there both 2 small

I just think with nikora already on that edge drawing the defenders attention, shifting Ramien to the other edge might open his attacking game more.

Having him breaking tackles on the left edge to set up Ronnie, makes a lot of sense to me.

We seem to mainly attack down the right with nikora anyway.

Ronnie has been almost reliant of a quick shift from sifa go get a sight at the try line or kicks, ramien could open up a whole new line of attack for Ronnie and plug a hole in defence. Nikora's defence should provide better cover for the other centre.

Best game of the year IMO. He was tough to handle.

I'd be loathe to move him. He seems to enjoy that left hand fend. I'd only explore it if we had a genuine right centre, but if it's just to switch Sifa or Tracey I wouldn't bother.

Has Jesse ever played left at a competitive level?

Leave him where he can play well
Had enough issues making dumb mistakes and throwing dicey offloads where he is familiar with playing
