33:51 - Muscle Nation Recovery Room

Pat - Mark Nawaqanitawase looked so good this week, would you buy him even though he just returned from surgery?

Liam - When clubs are assessing players backing up from origin how much data do they go into or is it less moneyball-esk and more up to players feelings and physical tests etc?

Scott - Does Latrell have a possible pars defect causing a spondy?

Campbell - Does constant cramping in the same muscle every week say around 60th minute having any correlation to increasing the chance of injury? Hamoule his last three games inc origin, all around the 60th minute got me thinking

Sally - What is the white compression thing players have been wearing around their thigh lately? I’m seeing it more and more

Nick - Taylan May and Adam Doueihi return timeframes and are they worth the risk getting back in SuperCoach?

Ruben - Simi Sasagi worth holding still, any update there?

Peter - James might be the best to answer after this round - as an old Tigers supporter, how do you fix a broken heart?
