I’m not convinced Picken plays again but I’ve seen him doing a lot of running on the track with a few other boys most mornings. Definitely not the look of a guy about to pull the pin.

I’m not convinced Picken plays again but I’ve seen him doing a lot of running on the track with a few other boys most mornings. Definitely not the look of a guy about to pull the pin.
I think he has said he's still getting headaches. Would love to see him reach his 200 though.
Ricky Nixon thinks he will announce this week as Friday is deadline to replace players on the list.
Perhaps tonight during Jumper presentation.
The Friday deadline is the best reason I’ve heard of why an announcement might come - but wouldn’t have thought they’d wait for Friday with the chance to salute him like the legend he is at the season opening.
Having said all this, I feel like it might be the clubs decision rather than his if it happens.
Very tough call, interested in others thoughts on whether he should stay or go if there is a high chance he won’t play this year?
To me, although I idolise him - we have to put the team first over a single player.
I'm sure he didn't but why even make reference about the age of the player to start with?
Had he said "how long can you keep a player on the list without them playing?" without the "especially if they are over 30" I think makes for a more appropriate question
To me it's definitely not a question about age, it's very much about if he is likely to recover so hopefully the club and player will make the right call.
He's going to be another Crossy, I am afraid. Pulling the pin is an expression not in his lexicon. Will not quit until he is show the door. The constant headaches thing is a real worry and the way he plays I can probably see it happening again, concussion I mean. But I do hope he can contribute for another season. Just I worry a bit about his health.
