Injury Updates

Yeah Kimmorley had an amazing 2009 surprisingly after his previous seasons at the Sharks.

According to Hayne's Facebook account, he has a grade 1 hamstring tear. He's confident of being back for Origin II.

Fingers crossed he will be!

 

[Eelementary]

I agree!

 

[eels_fan]

So hopefully we will only be missing Hayne for 2 games

Sharks & Rabbitohs (which he would have missed anyways in NSW camp). He'll also get a 12 day break after origin as we have the bye, and then a Monday night game vs manly

 

[T.S Quint]

Damn!
And here I was thinking we were actually a chance against the Sharks.
Hope we don't get flogged now.

I read somewhere the other day someone was asking where Toutai was, he is injured. I also saw Alvaro in Parra today with his arm in a sling.

Look at the size of Kelepi! Manu Mau on the right.

That was me, strange considering he wasn't included in the week injury report the club releases.

Yeah it is. Maybe he will just miss the one week? Dunno.

Daniel Alvaro had planned surgery on his shoulder after his last game, it was decided to sacrifice the rest of the year to get it right, he'll be in our full time squad next year

Ahhh, there you go.

Thanks mate.

David Alvaro is not part of the fulltime squad, and therefore irrelevant to most fans.

It's like with recruiting. The club (like all clubs) is currently putting in massive hours scouting and recruiting under 18s players into our system for next year (on youth contracts, no less). But we don't hear that "The Pirtek Parramatta Eels have signed boom sixteen year old outside back Jaedyn Tongarockasamoa from the Auckland Aardvarks to a two year deal!" because most fans don't give a f**k. But I do.

But I do.

There are high school kids out there that have 5 or 6 clubs throwing money at them to come and play SG Ball. Just for a chance to conduct a couple of years' in-depth scouting in their 'academies'. If that's not newsworthy I don't know what is.

Instead most fans just want to read the drama about who hates whom and who holds a grudge. They should be watching professional 'wrestling'. Heaps of drama there.

I'm with you - I care about our junior nurseries. They're what will keep us competitive in 5 years' time on the field.

And I miss the rasslin'.

I think JT was referring to Toutai, Pou.

 

[jason taylor]

Yep I was referring to Toutai. Not sure if he's in the top 25 but surely he would get a mention in the injury list since he's played first grade this season.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Fair point.

 

[Jodeci]

Ben Smith had knee surgery today

 

[Stagger eel]

Cheyse Blair is out for about 6 weeks with a grade 2 medial ligament
