That was only media speculation. He was always going to miss a few games. Also, Herbie is slated to return next week but he'll be out for another fortnight minimum.
Kodi has only played centre in an emergency. He has never ever been named in that spot in a run on side and won't be this weekend either. I'm not sure of his contract status but Fuller would be a good replacement at FB.
Tesi 145 m, try, 9 T, 5 MT last night. No stats on Val as of yet but he failed to score a major in his side's 8 point win. Impossible to replace Herbie and it's going to sting for the duration of his unavailability.
They certainly missed Flegler (and Felise) in the second half. If he is out for an extended period, they will be in strife. Herbie's injury didn't look good. He will definitely be missing for quite some time.
Plath is going to have the next fortnight off. I was worried that it might be worse. He'll be missed though. He has been outstanding these past two games.
If they cut down the error rate, they then should win comfortably. The Titans look vulnerable in some areas and it's up to Katoa, JMK and KNik to expose that.
Campbell and Fifita are lacking match fitness which works in our favour. Even on a good day, the Titans are pretty loose defensively as history has taught us. I'm confident the Dolphins will score a few majors. It's just preventing them is what worries me.
