Katoa out for the rest of the season

[Eion]

well at least our sets will start well!

 

[coolumsharkie]

Fuuuuuu Huck that sux. He's been brilliant all year. Oh well Tracey it us. Won't be Iva.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Who does Ramien dummy too now?

 

[sladden road]

Well doom and gloom naysayers….only a few weeks ago some of us were questioning his defence.
We will be ok..Tracey is a gun.

He needed a rest was the line I think - copped plenty for dropping the ball when clearly he should have been able to see when the sun was in his eyes…. Poor bugger.
Plenty of depth - will be interesting to see how it goes

 

[shaggs]

We have lost 2 players for the season in just over a week.
Next man up for sure.
Be interesting to see if Iro gets shifted to the wing for Jets this weekend, in case needs to be called up

Who else is out for the year?

 

[shaggs]

Tracey makes the 17 every week for some other clubs. He will do a job

 

[Ozzi_78]

Who else is out for the year?

Jack Williams.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Horrible news.

But these things can happen and will continue to happen for the rest of the year for unlucky players and teams.

Tracey is better in some things compared to Katoa but not in other things.

Poor bugger. Shows what I know, I thought he looked fine afterwards and might have a week off at worst.
Start practising your aerobatic put downs Connor!

I think it’s like an ACL or Achilles. Once it pops and tears, the initial pain goes quickly, but the functionality isn’t there

Thanks Shaggs. Poor bloke, he and Ramien have been lighting it up too. We'll miss him.

 

[glenmoresharkie]

Ah poor Sione. That really sucks. Tracey or Ikuvalu, you’re up.

Wouldn't you love to see those scans? Did not look near uncomfortable enough for a pec tear, nor was the MOI typical

You know I would. That was one part of my job I loved was attaching a scanned pathology with a mechanism.
Without the reason why, pressing the flashing button becomes very mundane.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Frenz & Shaggs need to get a hospital room me thinks.

 

[txta2]

Just when he starts playing the best footy of his career. Was I the only one yelling at the TV for him too dive earlier for rhe try line? Anyway

 

[txta2]

Ikavalu for me.
Much as I like Tracy, I only really like him as a centre or interchange. Ika is a winger through and through. Iro is too green at this point of the season, if we were out of finals contention, sure, but not for me over Ika.

Yes exactly, it's a bit of a specialist spot. The Panthers will target him all night

 

[bad boy bubby]

Whilst I agree that Iku is the better winger, I feel that CT is the correct decision to play him there this week.
I would deem it a "Fitz culture" pick.
Next man up, been in the games, etc. We've been hearing it all year, and the pattern has been preserved.
There is what 5 or 6 weeks until the finals? That's enough time to sort out whom will be the better placed for the teams sake.
Both have had a few injuries this year. Let's just hope that Ronnie stays fit as our wingers are the finishing touches to nearly all of our attacking plays.
