Injury update

[Luke Bowden]

Not sure I'd change JFH's role

Yep, don’t touch him. He’s killing it.

Yeo 3-4 wks Rib Cartlidge

Wait where did u find that info? These injuries are getting ridiculous now

 

[mxlegend99]

Wait so we could be looking at adding Merrin. Yeo and Leota on the same day to our already existing injury list of Edwards. Mansour. Blake. Cleary. May. Browne and Mckendry. Without even including NSW Cup injuries?

What does a full strength line up look like? Will we even get 15 of our top 17 on the field again this year?

Edit
Actually May is now ready to return.

Prop and lock are the same these days. We could play Egan in Katoa's role and keep our basic structure then go back when Hetherington is back

If Yeo is out I roll the dice and slot May straight into 6 and Peach plays centre. Katoa can cover if May gets tired

 

[Kilkenny]

Seriously it is getting ridiculous. Merrin likely to be out for four weeks. Unconfirmed rumours of injuries to Yeo & Leota and one week suspension for Hethrington.

Will we even be able to name 17 fully fit players to play Newcastle? By my calculations having looked our our top 30 players on the Panthers website we are down to 19-20 players if the four players mentioned above are unavailable for the Newcastle game.

DWZ, Chrichton, Peachy, Whare, Phillips, Maloney, Wallace, JFH, CHN, Kikau, Tamou, Katoa, RCG. Bench Egan, Ellis, Lui-Toso & May.

Club needs to appeal Hethrington suspension. Basically no choice.

At this stage we’ll cop more injuries during the bye in a few weeks time.

I agree, May needs to come in.

Sounds so simple but it won't happen... Peachy will be at 6 until Cleary is back...

Well we are losing players in warmup now.

Next will be a player falling out of bed.

I remember frank Pritchard doing his heel on a sprinkler at training a few years ago .....

Saw Yeo leaving Coles Jordan Springs today. No chance he is injured carrying 4 heavy bags like a champ. If Ribs were stuffed that wouldn't be possible

Didn't Shane Rodney did his shoulder at home falling over on his deck?

Possibly playing with his kid. I remember a player getting injured playing with his kid. Although it might not even be a Panther. But im pretty sure Rodney missed the season with an injury not even footy related.

Much rather start Katoa and have May off the bench for 20 odd

He carries 100kg+ blokes with every run though. What's a few heavy bags for an snimal like him?

Either works

There is an image of Merrin’s x-ray on NRL.com. They still say on the site that it is a fracture, but it doesn’t look like a fracture to me - just a bad dislocation. I can’t see any breaks in the bone at all.

When they say the bone was poking through the skin you can see why - the joint would have been pushing up quite hard against the skin.

Fingers crossed it is just a bad dislocation and we get some good news for once.

It was Rodney having a wrestle with Ben Ross I think. Or it could have been Swain. They were f**king around in the offseason.

Girds missed about 12 weeks once after getting his brother to run at him while on the piss.

In other news RCG used the wrong shampoo and has a grade 3 moustache tear. Going for scans and may miss origin.

IIRC David Kidwell did his ACL playing with his daughter (whilst at Souths).
