Injury update

[forby]

Huge sigh of relief! Not so bad after all!
Good news for a change

 

[Westernised Panther]

Great news! But I wouldn’t risk him for Friday’s game

 

[Fangs]

Hooray! The season lives on.

Scans have revealed the extent of the ankle injury suffered by Panthers forward Viliame Kikau in last Saturday's defeat to Canberra Raiders.

While Kikau suffered some minor damage to his right ankle ligaments, scans have fortunately shown the more significant tearing occurred in scar tissue associated with previous surgery to repair his syndesmosis.

The Panthers medical team is now working to reduce the swelling and pain before Kikau will be fit to play.


At this early stage the Panthers forward is considered an outside chance of taking the field against Wests Tigers on Friday.

If its a week or 2 thats great.

Great news. I vote we rest him this week. We cant risk him being less than 100%.

Seems Yeo May only be 4 weeks. Better news than expected.

Seems Yeo May only be 4 weeks. Better news than expected.

Panthers forward Isaah Yeo will be sidelined for at least four weeks after suffering a dislocated shoulder in last Saturday's defeat to Canberra Raiders.

The 24-year-old will undertake a rehabilitation program on his injured left shoulder for the next month.

Yeo's replacement in the Panthers side to face Wests Tigers will be confirmed when coach Ivan Cleary names his squad on Tuesday afternoon.

Wasn't there something with Tamou's knee?

I believe in the end it was just a strain.

[Panther Mick]

Hmm he still could re-injure it after all the rehab.

Yeo was out for the season yesterday. Today it's ~4 weeks.
Kikau was injured and they didn't know if it was his knee or ankle at first. We were then hopeful it would only come back as 6 weeks... and he's possibly playing this week ffs.

We just went from losing these guys for the majority of the season, to having both back by Origin time. Fantastic news today.

I'm calling BS on Kikau's recovery. The guy was all but dead on the ground - I thought the trainer might have to amputate his leg on the ground the way he looked.

Kikau's recovery is very.........Dugan-esque.

So the reports on Yeo were correct. He needs likely needs a shoulder reconstruction but the club hopes to manage through the year.
I don't like the sound of that.

If our season is looking like it’s over, which we’ll probably know by mid-May, then Yeo should go in for surgery ASAP. At least get him right for 2020

It is what we did with Soward in 2015 and look how that turned out

 

[PenrithPanther45]

That's what I got from the update too - at least 4 weeks ie if we are in finals contention we risk him but otherwise he just eventually gets ruled out for the season. At least 4 weeks Gives them room to move

 

[unKwn]

haha what

 

[age.s]

I hope they know what they're doing...

 

[Abacus]

haha what

f**k Duges, we've got Kiks for miraculous recoveries!

 

[billypilgrimnz]

The fact that we are trying to rush him back tells you all you need to know about how much we rely on him for our attack. Cleary won't have to bust out any new plays if "shovel it to Kikau" is still on the menu!
