Lol that's what they said about lil Gazza...sure its a different injury but the talk was the same. Everyone panicked and traded him out, expecting him to be out for 4, he was back in 2...
Rhino I think is the one to agree with. Like Ablett missed 2 matches, Pendles will probably do the same, just was fortunate (from his perspective not SC) to cop it around the bye. I'd be thinking he will be back for the match v Freo, however, he might get an early sub if the game is settled early (not thinking that's likely given Freo is a good defensive team and stays in matches for long periods)
Fair enough guys just have good info from a pies insider that its an ongoing back injury and that he will be rested for certain games throughout the yr
Any merit in trading out Pendlebury? None of us will have any cover for him so by swapping him for a Swan/Stanton/Kennedy could see a gain of 120 per week that he's out. If he misses only 1 game that's not worth it, but if he misses 2 or more it's probably a win.
