Injury Updates

If HAZE was fit and never injured he'd maybe take Russels spot or Sivos. Huge upgrade? NO. At best he'd be equal to them.
That from this:
People are making out he was going to be a 10yr NRL player.
I reckon his ceiling was a solid toilers. Handy back up. Might get 2 or 3yrs worth of NRL. He was never that fast or powerfull.
I'd say he was about Morgan Harper/Simmonson level at absolute best.
Just admit you were basing your judgement on how he’s turned out post injury and we can all move on

He was potentially the next Semi. The x factor we needed to get a title. What a shame. Can't help bad luck

Lucky we have th best young Hooker in the game coming through.

Looks like there are only Harper or Semi level wingers at our club. I wonder if every other club has the same issue.

New injury update. My son did his ACL in a trial game on Sunday. Given his age they have recommended we go with the cross brace method to start with instead of opting for surgery.
My cousin’s a physio and agrees that instant surgery isn’t always the best outcome. Worth considering

In 2018 one of my mates tore his ACL in soccer week before his wedding.

Didn't operate on it came back in 2021 and played and got through 5 games and he just couldn't get through and pulled the pin.

With a mortgage he just couldn't afford the surgery so he has just left it.

Next time I see him I'll have to ask him how his knee is going.

He still walks around fine and doesn't seem to be any pain issues in the way it's affecting his normal life.

Plays golf now every weekend instead of paying $500 a season to play for Kellyville Kolts in the All Age Male comp.

They say there are some people who can get by without an ACL, and I guess if you have no need to do anything that requires the support the ACL will give you then it isn't a must.
I had mine done 7 years ago but went through public so wasn't out of pocket much
But Given my son is only 14 there is a risk of affecting his growth plates if they operate

The Parramatta Eels can provide the following injury update ahead of their Magic Round match against the Melbourne Storm.

Mitchell Moses and Clint Gutherson remain unavailable as they continue rehabilitation for their respective injuries.

The Eels will monitor Moses' fitness over the coming days as he aims to return within the next fortnight.

“There’s a few players coming back next week against the Sharks. There’s some upside to the season and a hell of a lot of footy to be played.


Not sure who these few players would be coming back week other then Moses and Gutho.
No idea.
I reckon we will see Talagi in the centres and Gutho at the back. Russell to Sivos wing and Sivo fired into the sun. I just hope Trent pulls the reins on Gutho and lessens his workload. Less is more.

Yeah, I think the only players "out" are Gutho and Moses.

Fair enough I guess with Barrett going with the same team structure for this week, until their return next week (?) allows some tinkering.

Depends how "athletic" Gutho is coming back from his surgery where the best position for him for the rest of the season will be.

Talagi will play where he's told, there's a lot of noise about his 2025 contract and I'm sure it's his manager trying to up the price and milk the most he can out of whoever ends up meeting the demands.

I'm resigned to losing Talagi under those circumstances, but won't lose too much sleep either - you can't keep them all ☺️.
