2023 Injury and Suspension Updates

So Teig is gone for the year

Meh. He hasn’t been great. The wear and tear of a second full season was affecting his performance. Same as it did Briton. Who worked on his craft and came back better than ever

The injury is a min 12 week.
So it now falls to Colquhoun and Talakai as edge forwards unless we sign someone or bring someone up from Jets

NRL Late Mail Round 21: Sharks’ finals blow as key forward Teig Wilton ruled out for season​

The Sharks have suffered a massive blow in their bid to keep their finals hopes alive, while the Dragons have a host of big guns back for the Spoon Bowl.

The Sharks have suffered a massive blow in their bid to keep their finals hopes alive with starting backrower Teig Wilton ruled out for the season.

The consistent Wilton has received the worst possible news that he requires surgery on a knee injury suffered against the Warriors last Sunday.

Although scans revealed his ACL was intact, Wilton has had no choice but to receive an operation on Wednesday to repair his badly damaged meniscus.

The recovery period is 12 weeks, ruling him out for the remainder of the season.

Wilton, 23, has proven a mainstay on the Sharks’ left-edge in 2023.

His back row position has been taken by promising Wollongong-product Jesse Colquhoun for the Sharks’ must-win clash against Manly at PointsBet Stadium on Sunday.

FINUCANE GONE FOR THE SEASON

Gone where ???

 

[bluefox68]

Bicep injury

 

[Craigshark]

Can we somehow convince Flano to take Finucane?

 

[bluefox68]

The crazy thing is that we’re not actually that stressed about losing him.

He seemed to be trying to break his try-scoring drought by running crash plays on the 4th. But he never looked like even going close…

I wish him all the best in retirement

you can only hope

Finucane is no big loss.

I heard big blow for the sharks then they said him and I went …. Meh.

I suspect this is an injury he’s been playing with that really needed an Op, and now it is clear our season is gone to shit and we’ve no chance of challenging the big boys, they’re choosing for him to have the Op now to be right for next year.
A medical retirement and move to the coaching staff wouldn’t be a bad outcome….

See if any super league team wants him

I reckon you’re right.
He’s had it heavily strapped for a while now.

I know we all know/think this.. surely the actual team can’t just chuck in the towel this early on while they are still a chance to make the finals. If so, may as well rest them all to protect them from any serious injuries that could impact next year.

 

[carinashark]

On a more positive note. I really liked his first half performance against the Dragons.

Finucane has struggled all season.
He has not come back from injury late last season, too anything like Dale of old.
Could it be he is a Storm type player that needs Bellamy to get beat out of him
