Injury update

He needs surgery, the bone pierced the skin.

They were saying minimum 2-3 weeks last night.

Geez, we really can’t catch a break.

Kikau also looks to me like he is carrying a knee injury and has been for a few weeks.

I think it dates back to the Souths game perhaps (or one of the other early games) where I remember he came out of a tackle clutching his knee. It is heavily strapped and whilst he is still having a real dig his runs are lacking the same intensity that they had at the start of the season. It mustn’t be serious enough to stop him playing, but hopefully it doesn’t get any worse.

Kikau said last night that he has a cork that he copped last week, no real issue.

I think Kikau is just being forced to play too big a role at this stage in his development with Yeo and CHN being pulled out of the forwards. That was a ruthless step he put on to almost go over last night though.

That's some beautiful news. Though it's strange he was holding his knee so much and limping all game over a cork last week.

Have you ever had a bad cork ? They're merkins...

Kikau has a huge engine for his size. He chased atleast 3 kicks where he made one on one tackles with Coote.

Quiet impressive he can play 80 minutes while doing things like that. 28 tackles. 165m gained (81 post contact) off 13 hitups. The guys a freak of nature.

He was pumping out 80 minutes in reserve grade last year. But to do it in the NRL against a strong forward pack is a huge step up.

Yeah I have. Hope he come good. If he gets more mobile it'll be bad news for our opposition.

What a beast.

Leota is going for scans to rule out a pec injury.

 

[Buzzard Breath]

The injury curse continues.

Oh come on...

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Oh come on...

Afraid not. Just going for scans to rule it out. That is all I know.
I hope its nothing.

I know they are playing a tough brand of footy but this is getting rediculous.

 

[unKwn]

This has just become unfair at this point

Its wrecking our year the injuries.
I think we have had only one week where any player hasn't gone down injured.
The way things are going we might need a top 40 squad.

This is ridiculous- this is 2016 all over again....

Even if scans rule it out, presumably it still means he has some kind of injury to the area. f**king hell.

Did you mean 2015?

 

[roofromoz]

Even 2014... how we got to the prelim final was just extraordinary.
