Anyone know how long untill he comes back??
Will he go straight into First Grade, or??

Thanks

What do you mean "or", once he's back he's in first grade.

I heard another 3 weeks. We definatley need him back

We tend to have a selection of players that are considered too good to even play a warm up match in premier league. Like it is below them. Don't think that is the right attitude to have.

Expected Round 23 against Sharks
Cast off last week

I disagree with the whole concept that certain players don't need a PL game to get back some match fitness.

I don't care whether the player's name is Hindmarsh, Cayless, Cannings, Grothe, Dykes, Morris - if you warrant it, you get it.

Times have changed though, with the introduction of the interchange.

Guess it all depends on the nature of the injury.

Why isn't he running with the cast on? :lol:

Might sound stupid but that's what I was thinking. Webke played the 2001 finals series with a specially designed cast, why not Cayless?

Round 23 is in 6 weeks..
Is he due then, or in 3 weeks??

 

[Eels Dude]

Around 6 weeks or so. They spoke to him on tv on the Manly game 2 and a half weeks ago and he said 8 weeks from then...

I guess its best to have it heal 100% properly - take no risks with jolting or falling etc etc.

Playing in a finals series is different - its the end of the season, nothing to lose if you re-injure it, and you have 5+ months to let it heal afterwards.

They probably are also being a bit more careful because this is the second time he's broken the arm in a relatively short space of time.
