Rabbitohs signings, rumours and injuries thread.

Sutton will need surgery and if they choose surgery will likely be out for the year. Could also play with injury and pain killers and have surgery at end of year. Souths still to determine which way to go.

Thanks for that.

It doesn't sound good at all.

any more news on when turner might be back???

I play Golf with Kyles uncle and he told us at Golf Saturday that Turner should be back in full contact training next week. Not sure how long that will remain actually returning to the field though.

Diagnosed bicep tendor tear for Sutto, should be able to play on subject to fitness test.

G'dday mate, thanks for that info, can you tell me what was actually Turner's injury.

Was it cervical spine?

 

[Franko]

Must admit I'm not 100% the actual diagnoses myself. I think it was a bad disc bulge in the cervical spine.

I hope it's really fixed properly, cervical spine is really scary - any injury with the word'spine' is scary.

Maybe he should have the rest of the year off.

Seven months ago he feared he'd never be able to walk again, but now South Sydney forward Kyle Turner is on track for a comeback to the NRL after recently returning to full training.

Turner hasn't played since suffering a serious neck injury in the NRL All Stars clash in January that forced the 23-year-old to undergo revolutionary spinal surgery in a bid to keep his career alive.

But the hard-running back-rower has been an enthusiastic addition to the training paddock over the past fortnight, although the club is intent on taking a cautious approach to his return.

"He just has to get through a couple more things and tick a few more boxes to get out there (but) he's doing everything right," halfback Adam Reynolds said.

Rest of the year off for sure.That would give him an extra 25 wks to recover before next season trials.

Thanks.

I expect Kyle to probably have a game with Norths in about 3 weeks to see how he goes.

I think Turner if he returns to first grade this season it won't be for another 4-5 weeks.

In about 3 weeks he will most likely play for Norths to see how he goes as I also mentioned in an above post.

Imo Kyle should definitely wear headgear.

 

[Rabbits20]

Rest of the year off for sure.That would give him an extra 25 wks to recover before next season trials.

It's a possibility he mightn't play again this year.

If he ticks all the boxes at training though I think he will return.

 

[Rabbits20]

Diagnosed bicep tendor tear for Sutto, should be able to play on subject to fitness test.

Hopefully he's right to keep playing and put off surgery until after the season.

To get out on the field Sutton will most likely need injections before each match.

 

[Franko]

I spoke with Kyle Turners uncle last night. Looks like he will be back playing for Norths in two weeks.

South Sydney back-rower Kyle Turner will return from a career-threatening spinal injury in the NSW Cup this weekend.

Turner was injured in a Paul Gallen tackle in February's All Stars fixture, amid initial fears the 23-year-old might never play in the NRL again.

But following revolutionary surgery, which involved the removal of a bulging disc through the front of his throat that was replaced with an artificial one, Turner is scheduled to make an earlier-than-expected return.

Pending a fitness test later in the week, Turner - a bench player in Souths' grand final-winning side last year, will return for the Rabbitohs' feeder club North Sydney against Wentworthville on Sunday at North Sydney Oval.

Fellow Souths back-rower Chris McQueen said Turner had struggled through some tough times, but now he was set to play a key role in the club's quest for back-to-back premierships.

"It has not been easy for him but he is still quite young, all the boys were supporting him and he knew if he did the right things, he would get back on the paddock," McQueen said on Monday.

"He has been great around training - he has absolutely ripped in. He has got his body right.

"He was showing some good form early on. He will come back into the team and we expect him to be right back where he was."

"For him to be back after 19, 20 weeks, that is outstanding."

Souths have battled with injuries to key players throughout 2015 including Adam Reynolds, John Sutton and Glenn Stewart and Turner's return gives coach Michael Maguire virtually a full-strength roster to chose from ahead of Saturday's round 19 match with St George Illawarra at the SCG. Centre Kirisome Auva'a remains suspended from the NRL following his conviction last year over a domestic violence issue.

Rabbitohs forward Jason Clark said Turner's return was an inspiration for all his teammates in the lead-up to the finals series.

"I can imagine it would have been hard for him," Clark said.

"But even when he couldn't do anything, he was in here and he was around the boys and we were keeping him smiling and positive and telling him there was light at the end of the tunnel."
