Injuries

NSW had better leave him alone for Game 2. Panthers desperately need him. If he's picked for Game 2 that will mean we have missed him for 4 weeks thanks to State of Origin.

Hopefully they replace him with Jamal Idris.

I expect and hope he gets picked again. He didn't put a foot wrong in his debut and should be fit. No other candidate has really pressed their claims in his absence either.
The guy will come back a better player. We desperately need players with big game experience and working with the NSW brainstrust and other elite players will teach him a great deal.

Why has it taken this long to get Lewis under the knife?

 

[maple_69]

Also wondering this..slash the guy up a bit already

Why has it taken this long to get Lewis under the knife?

Something to do with the swine flu scare last week. Don't think he was allowed into the hospital until he was cleared.

 

[Copperhead]

His surgery was scheduled for last week, but with the swine flu paranoia he was tested after having some likely

symptoms. He was cleared, and surgery rescheduled. The last thing we needed. If we're going to salvage this

season we need him back. And quickly.

Now Coote is out for the season with a shoulder injury.
I guess Sammut will be our fullback for the rest of the year.

I guess that solves the problem of Coote and Sammut being in the same team.

 

[mxlegend99]

The injury list is getting absolutely ridiculous. Jarrod Sammut staying fit is absolutely crucial to us now. There's no way we can make the finals with the amount of talent and experience we have sitting on the sideline, and lack of depth to cover them.

What's doing with Daniela? We need him urgently

What's our casualty list now?

Michael Gordon
Michael Jennings
Luke Lewis
Geoff Daniela
Lachlan Coote

That's pretty much most of our first choice backline out plus Lewis who has been nothing but bloody sensattional this year... most of those players will be back soon hopefully, bar Coote.

Unfortunately, the back up players aren't that crash hot... Jennings back will help, Lewis and Gordon even more so... but it looks like Flash won't be back until around Round 20, and Lewis for another month.

I fear our season could go into free fall again like last year... this time due to lack of personnel.

 

[maple_69]

FUUUUUUUUUUUU-
I think Coote's been consistently one of our best. He'll miss any finals experience we get, also miss another off season of preparation.
Luckily we're rich in fullbacks.
Great to see Waddell back to, that's the best news of the week. If he can return successfully and find some form towards the end of the year he could be what we're looking for next year.
1. Coote 2. Daniela 3. Jennings 4. Waddell 5. Gordon
Blistering backline.

Looking at our draw, after the Dogs we have the bye, then some games against relatively lowly sides. If we can keep our heads above water until Huey and Gordon are back we might stand a chance.

 

[abpanther]

Is that Coote's second shoulder surgery? Could this be a Benji Marshall problem?

 

[abpanther]

No way Waddell gets back to FG this season

 

[choc_soldier]

1. Coote 2. Daniela 3. Jennings 4. Waddell 5. Gordon

 

[choc_soldier]

Lachlan Coote will miss the rest of the seasojn due to the shoulder injury he picked up in the game last Saturday night. It is the same shoulder he injured towards the end of last year and it requires surgery in the next week or two.

Luke Lewis will undergo surgery on his toe on Monday June 15, no date of return will be specified until rehabilitiaion has commenced.


Michael Jennings is expected to return to full training on June 14.


Michael Gordon - Rd 21 return

Really don't think you'll see that until the middle of next season to be honest.

 

[mxlegend99]

I'm not sure Greg Waddell will ever live to to expectations. He was out of the game for a very long time and he would surely have fallen behind where he was a year and a half ago.

Hopefully he manages to start where he left off. Although i won't be expecting any miracles. If he's ready for first grade by this time next year, i'll be over the moon.

What's doing with Daniela? We need him urgently

yeah, what is the go?
