What do we do with Gary?

Its clearly worse than first thought. We all saw last year when he played and wasn't comfortable he pulled the pin after 2 weeks. Surely this has to be in our minds!!

Can we honestly go against him if he is named round one? I would take a very brave man! You will be a genius or end up with pie on your face.

Whats the community think about handling Gary

Surely after rushing him back last year, they wouldn't play him round 1 this year unless he was right to go. I started without him last year (took Fyfe instead, tough call at the time but no brainer in hindsight) and thought it was pretty obvious he wasn't right. I'm not as certain on it this year. I'll wait for more information but if he's still 50/50 going into round 1 then I may just flick him to the other one of the big 4 (pendles, fyfe and danger) that I don't have.

Rocket was on fiveaa radio and said he will play round 1. the sounded very confident.

Surely they learnt their lesson last year, have a feeling he could play nab 3 but they are just being extra cautious. This is the cheapest he has been in years I don't think he can be ignored at his price, you're paying 620k for quite possibly a 130 average

What are the odds of him playing every game? He is no longer a spring chicken and is too competitive to go easy - he's in my team at the moment but will flick over to Fyfe if he's a non starter for round one.

So word about town is Gaz actually has a tendon issue, some real doubt now over his head.

 

[M4TT B8S]

as long as Gaz is expected to play round 1 or round 2 I'm happy with him in the side. Even if it means fielding a rookie round 1

 

[doddy2731]

This kind of injury is a little concerning though, especially for a guy his age. Tendons the Calf!

Yes he will play R1 but how he will play is the question.

I have no doubt at all that he will be named R1 but its his output that i'm worried about. Does he play the first half rested most of the 3rd and then comes back for the 4th?

THere is no way his foot is 100% but he is still in my team at this stage

 

[doddy2731]

After being burnt twice last year this latest news isn't sitting well.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Why would Gold Coast risk him Round 1 & 2 with this fixture?

 

[tabs]

I think he plays R1 and doenst travel to perth for R2

 

[Hondo]

Well, they need to win games and can't take anything for granted. Sorry to Bombers fans but imagine the uproar if they lose R1!

As for R2, why would they not want him in their side? Are we saying the Suns just give that game away?

I think unless injured he plays with no rests. The Suns have a lot to prove after last year's debacle.
