Nick Evans confirmed we are NOT bringing in any injury cover.
Quote:Ward says he has no idea how he got his eye injury.JK says he knows exactly how it happened because Ward told him and he believes him.someone is confused and it’s not Ward
Quote:DOK
Well, Ward may know how it happened and he may have told the DOR. Without any proof, it may not be a good idea for him to tell fans/press/casual enquirers how it happened.
I mean if he says "Player X belted me when I was lying in a ruck" and there's no video evidence, then how does that help? With no proof it's just his word against player X.
Quote:Quinky Kin
This is of course assuming that everything Cookie says is 100% true (and I do recall a mention that Mike or DC were definitely [i][/i]heading to France).
At the time of Wallace's injury it was said he would definitely be out for the season; now it seems he may be back much sooner. Time to sack the expert who got it wrong?
Quote:Cookie
In relation to JK and DW, this backs up what DOK and I are saying:
Kingston then rounded on Northampton by drawing attention to the extensive bruising around the left eye of Ward, who was Quins captain in the absence of the concussed James Horwill.
"I have to say, and I'm not here to cast dispersions, but my hooker has got a rather nasty eye and I know how it happened because he's told me and I believe him," Kingston said.
"I'm pretty disappointed about that and he's not happy about it."
When asked if he would refer the incident to Catling, Kingston replied: "No, probably not. It's not about blowing the whistle on people.
"But I do get angst when there's maybe questions over one or two of my players when on the day we did not get the rub of the green in terms of the way things were being done."
So, in other words, we know what happened but we're not in to whistleblowing. Not sure I agree with him as I had a picture taken with Wardy and he wasn't a pretty sight.
(And please, no stupid comments about JK's misuse of English).

Not if he's confident it wasn't captured on video.

Martyrdom has nowt to do with it. You can't even report back from conversations with players now without slinky making sanctimonious remarks.

Maybe JK knew Sinckler was in trouble and wanted to deflect some attention by pointing the finger (pun intended) elsewhere.

Yeah I wouldn't put it past him to punch Ward in the face to stop the Kingston out brigade from talking about the match result

Perhaps I should have said "what is Rodney suggesting is my narrative?" Which I can't tell you as I have no idea what he is implying.

It was a joke (and not a joke on you).
The obvious answer to the question "What is my narrative?" is ... "You tell me."
I should've put a smiley in there the first time.
