Angus Crichton

Great news for CEOs! Angus Crichton is confident to play out season. His foot wasn’t sore after last game and he’s no longer wearing a boot. Still one to watch due to nature of injury but Coach Maguire seems set on playing him out for the rest of the season.

Dylan Walker

Dylan Walker has a foot injury with bone bruising after being stood on. This is a good example of a boot being precaution to help it settle. He is fit to play this week.
