Lazarus out for the seaon

[tiger_nick]

LAZARUS SET TO MISS SEASON Wests Tigers full-back Blake Lazarus will undergo knee surgery on Thursday, February 19.

Blake suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his left knee during Balmain Ryde Eastwood Tigers’ trial against Cabramatta on Saturday night. Scans today revealed the full extent of the injury.

He is expected to be out for the season.

It is the same knee injury that sidelined him for the season after round four of the Toyota Cup last year.

“It is a devastating injury for Blake,’’ said Wests Tigers Recruitment Manager Warren McDonnell.

“He had been training well in the pre-season and was part of our full-time NRL squad.

“We are sure that with Blake’s determination and first class attitude that he can make a successful comeback from the injury.’

I guess this means with Fulton gone we will have a top 22!!! What a year it promises to be!

Interesting thing is that those two "Blake's great" articles are gone from the website, which means the "Johnny's on top" one has been promoted back to the main page...

The injury gods got the wrong cruciate, methinks...

ronald saying how dissapointed he is...all it means is that there's one less opponent for his slipping over genius of a son

oh no :-(

 

[super_coach]

Can we now get cap relief and keep Fulton????Or are we further up the creek as we will have to bring another up into the top 25 to replace Blake or do you run your top 25 with one of the 25 a lame duck for the season. Iam not sure how it works.

I just hope we can turn all these negatives into postives.

Ronald paid off the surgeon. He would have bought himself a couple of cases to celebrate!

[macnaz]

Yeah we still have him, we are all hoping he will get first crack at the fullback job. Maybe he is now a step closer.

I don't care if Gallant kills a team mate through some of the most ordinary football ever seen, he's still a shoe in ahead of anyone else at any of the 37 affiliated clubs we have
