CONCERNS are growing for the welfare of Timana Tahu, who is struggling to recover from the racial controversy that plagued Origin II. Parramatta coach Daniel Anderson gave the suspended centre a second week off training, with an Eels insider saying Tahu has spent most of his time off at home alone.

We can also reveal Eric Grothe's knee injury could sideline him for the rest of the season.

The likeable winger met doctors last night to learn whether or not he requires surgery.

The timing is awful for Grothe, who is still on the lookout for a new deal next year.

I applauded Tahu's stance against Johns but it's time to move on T, Parra needs you desperately.

Maybe T will give it away at the end of the season...

That would free up a lot of cash.

Really bad news for Eric if true - let's hope not.

So will Grothe be back at the eels again or has he already played his last game in the blue and gold?

Why the hell has it taken this long to decide whether or not surgery may be required?

I've obviously missed something over the last few weeks..... Are we not offering Grothe a contract for next year definitely or is it still just a rumour?

I don't believe he's been offered anything which would elad me to believe he is looking at other clubs.

P!ss poor timing for both Eric 's prospects and our season. Looks like we'll be stuck with Inu all year.

that's terrible news if he is ruled out...

I actually hope we do re-sign him but I can't see the current coaching staff wanting him.

a big fall from grace for Eric. DA appeared to have gotten the best out of him last season and had him back on track.

is it $ issues or personality?
