That's gonna hurt, especially if we lose another forward.

Absolutely.
Until Toby is back, next man up is Tuku.

If we lose one of either AFB or Herb that’s a shitload of minutes to make up for a player who usually only get about 15-20.

Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that or, if it does, big Max has some more games under his belt and is good to come in.

As for AFB a low grade AC it injury wouldn’t stop him playing. A needle before KO and at halftime will sort that

Hohepa to cover lock and Sifa prop

That's probably not out of the question.
Although I think it would be Sifa to lock and Cam to prop.
He's done something similar before.

Hohepa on the bench and, with any luck, shows how much more suited to the role he is than DA.

But let's hope it doesn't come to that.

OK has been busted most of the year. Even Fitz has made a point of mentioning this in several pressers. Now AFB has been exposed as playing a bit busted too. No talk of it but Iro got up with a wince and a grab at a shoulder rearly in Roosters game as well

The niggles are appearing weekly.

I even heard Kleenex is battling through weekly with split ends.

He must have done the Girdler SC JT injury
If he has a disruption of his SC and his sternum has inverted (this happened to Girdler) I can see why they have tried to cover it up as a pec injury. It's in the general vicinity LOL

This guy doesn't do it for me but you're right, he'd be NMU. Can't we accelerate Slapsy Maxy's development. OR even better Felix' development.

Agreed on all fronts.
I just have him as next man up at the moment, but as the season progresses, and the other two get more up to speed, I see Tuks slipping further down the pecking order.

It's a shame. I had hopes for him at first, but he just hasn't seemed to kick on.
Whether that's on the coaching he's getting, who knows?
But he's been very underwhelming.

I think he was probably let go by the Roosters for having arrested development as well. He is only 23 though, get him on angry pills. Or the pipe

My info was good


SHARK FACING MONTHS ON SIDELINES

Cronulla have suffered a major injury blow with influential prop-forward Tom Hazelton ruled out for three months.

The hugely popular fan favourite joins an increasing Sharks casualty ward after undergoing surgery to repair a sternoclavicular joint injury, also known as a collarbone joint injury.

In an indication of his bravery, Hazelton played-on with the injury to complete the match against Manly three weeks ago.

The Sharks held several meetings with specialists before determining a path of recovery via surgery which the 26-year-old underwent this week.

Hazelton will aim to return two weeks before the final series.

The hulking prop joins teammates Toby Rudolf (ankle), Sione Katoa (shoulder), Teig Wilton (shoulder), Sam Stonestreet (ankle), Liam Ison (knee), Kade Dykes (knee) and Ronaldo Mulitalo (suspended) on the sidelines.

Read something earlier that looks like Katoa is still a few weeks away so wonder who will be the other winger with Ronaldo suspended. Have to think it'd be Vea'lia

If that’s the case, I’ll tip SFB to go with Hiroti and DA on the wings and Tuku on the bench (possibly Tobes as he’s due back)
