Not sure of his TOG or if he got injured, but looking at the stats he didn't get near it yesterday, just two touches.
Can't see him coming in for a while myself, Gunston back soon and Jeka continues to hammer the door down. And whilst not playing the same role, they are still two numbers to come into the side/forward line at some stage.
Also Hanrahan was pretty decent last week, and that's the spot he'd be looking at.

Well done to those who jumped on 
Been very impressed through the two games. I have no real read on Noble yet as a coach other than that most of his moves have actually made sense and thus he's got an early tick. Hard to argue that he isn't getting strong contributions from Stephenson, Ziebell, Hall (before the KO at least), Powell and now Bosenvulagi from his little experiments to date. LDU as a forward though is a really bad move that I don't like at all although to be fair to Noble, his attitude the past couple of games has been abysmal and not sure what Noble can do about that.
Look I don't mind him moving the magnets and trialling things for a few weeks here and there. We won't win many (if any) games this year, so I don't mind seeing the tinkering. If he doesn't do it now, he'll never know what players can and can't do and those that might need a bit of a kick from time to time.
LDU's an interesting one. When he gets some consistency for a certain period, you can see him go from strength to strength. But at this stage, he's still a bit erratic with his application. He's not even at 50 games yet, so it's a bit hard to judge him too harshly now, but it's definitely something he needs to work on. And that forward craft is something he'll need to develop to become more damaging in the next few years, so I can see why they're putting him down there - but agree he needs to put in a lot more work in that aspect of his game. He could do it in the juniors, but can he work it out in the seniors? Time will tell. I think he'll be ok (barring injury - touch wood).
