Dragons youngster Kyle Stanley will miss between 6-8 weeks, after injuring his right ankle in the Charity Shield match on Saturday night.
After a promising start to the match, in which he showed good strength and skill to fend off his opposite defender and put Brett Morris over in the corner, Stanley suffered the ankle injury, when caught under two defenders.
Stanley has been training full-time with the Dragons NRL squad over the pre-season, despite still being eligible for the Dragons Under 20's squad.

I hope no-one else succumbs to any injury. I was looking forward to seeing Kyle and Peni play this season but I guess now we'll all have to wait a while. Kyle looked great at centre on Saturday.

Not too bad. Being fit during Origin time is vital.

poor kid, i thought he had a stella game until the injury

I thought it would be worse when I saw it. Thought maybe an ACL. 6-8 weeks is a blow but better than I thought.

don't let it get you down kyle. 8 weeks will go by in no time at all and you will get a chance again. the supporters are with you , and god has seen your capabilities . bide your time and enjoy the rest.

I think 'god' is a euphemism for Saint Benny.

Yeah, I watched it. He was impressive.

So does 6-8 weeks mean he could possibly be back by Round 5, or 6-8 competition rounds.

 

[God-King Dean]

Good question.

Hopefully it's not like Jeremy Smith...where they said he'd only be out for a week (or something) and didn't play for a few months

Apart from Cooper, we havent got any big-name injuries which is good, but certainly off to a pretty ordinary start with 3-4 injuries and the season hasnt even begun!

Actually annoys me that the papers keep saying we are full strength, yet Peni has a season-long injury, and was likely to be one of our centres, or certainly be our first drop if someone else was injured.
