R1 v Wests Tigers @ SFS - Discussion Thread

[Scarves]

That feeling I had just got flushed. Hard to swallow your team surrender a lead like that. Now due to suspensions and injury we'll be forced into changes... very bad start because this loss and the way we went about it affects the next few rounds.

Is there any substance to the rumour that Wolfman is out due to an injury he sustained at training and Farrar will take his place tonight?

Unfortunately it was right. I am hearing 8-12 weeks for Wolfman. And same knee for Stewart?

it is Bretts other knee, maybe only a cork

Medial Meniscus according to Fox Sports. Anywhere from 3-12.

Manly's backline stocks are looking a little thin just one game into the competition with with fullback Brett Stewart joining former Test winger David Williams on the sidelines.

Stewart suffered a suspected medial meniscus tear in his left knee after putting his body on the line to stop a rampaging Lote Tuqiri in the dying stages of Wests Tigers' dramatic 26-22 win over the Sea Eagles.
The Sea Eagles No.1 lay prone after making the crucial tackle on Tuqiri before being carried off by Manly medical staff.
He will undergo scans on Tuesday, though the initial prognosis had him out for up to six weeks.
It was initially feared that Stewart had re-injured the right knee he was surgically repaired last year before Sea Eagles doctor Paul Bloomfield confirmed it was his left knee.

Damn !!!!

time to blood young Hoppa, what have we got to lose

Won't be suprised if Des still keeps young hoppa out of the side.. geez it was devastating from the stands watching stewart get taken off. The team will be similar to the one this week, minus stewart and kite.
