Injures

[manlyfan76]

Des:
Manly coach Des Hasler expected Taupau to miss two weeks with a dislocation of his left thumb while Suli could also face time off with a likely compound fracture of the finger.

"We've got a couple of knocks there, Marty is possibly two weeks and Moses Suli will have an X-ray on a finger," Hasler said.

"He might be a little bit of trouble as well, we'll know after scans confirm that."

Jorge has a quad injury / soreness
Siro brusing on knee.
Both Jorge and Siro could be back for Canberra game.

Hope Suli is not a fracture. That's more likely 6-8 weeks

Compound - ouch.

It was always the case that during the course of the season we'll be using plenty of members of our squad, not only the top 17, or even top 20. No excuses, and whichever players come in will relish the opportunity and do a job for us.
Our key players are - Turbo x 2, Marty and AFB, DCE & Walker. Hopefully we don't lose more than one of those at the same time, but other than that I'm quite pleased with our depth of talent (except hooker!)

would probably have to include Siro also as a key player and based on his form this year

Backs to the wall, injury crises , will be lamblasted by the NRL journos for a lacklustre performance this week.

LOVE IT

Just the sort of **** we thrive on.

If Suli is injured, I would move Dylan to centre and bring in Schuster at least on the bench as he covers so many positions. Croker did nothing wrong last night and he has a decent kicking game.

Croker did nothing wrong but Levi did! Levi has a way to go it seems so we need Croker to stay in his current role, he is coming along very well as our 14.

I love Dylan at centre but I think Des has chosen him as the 6 and we need to just leave him there. Elliot has played at right centre for us in the past and performed admirably. I believe he was there when we beat Canberra at GIO last year?
I just don’t think a Suli injury is worth tampering with the spine.

Elliot is good at right centre, also Gosiewski could be an option.

I was surprised that Jack wasn't replacing Sirro last night - he was awesome last year when he played right edge. If Sirro is still out I'd put Jack there, and Waddell back to the bench.

Totally agree. I suspect the decision to start Waddell was more of a fitness thing. It was Jack’s first game back. If Siro is out another week I’d love to see Jetski start.

Have to agree. Siro is a key player in attack and defence. Think he will be back this week

If my reading of what Des does for 15 years has taught me anything is that he wont shift Walker to the centres to cover Suli and make 2 positional changes.... He'll slot Elliott or whoever into centre and leave Dylan where he is.

Same goes for Levi/Croker. He's not a tinkerer is old Des. He stays the course on his decisions. Seems to work for him too mostly.

Short term injuries never bother me much - as long as they are fit for semi's these ''minor'' things can be great for a freshen up.

We all know Des and you are spot on!!

The part about Taufua is poorly written.
Does that mean he will miss the Sharks game as well?

no will be back against sharks i read that as
he wont miss that game

" Winger Jorge Taufua missed the game against the Broncos with a quad injury and is not expected to return to the round seven clash against Cronulla on Sunday, June 28 at Central Coast Stadium. "

Maybe they need to remove the "not" part if that's the case.

yeah ambiguously written but I'm sure the author meant "until" not "to"

 

[ALinda]

Sounds like Siro should be fine and, after being written off for a few weeks, now there's hope yet for Marty to play against the Raiders.
