Milton Thaiday's Queensland dream is all but over for 2006 with the Newcastle fullback likely facing six weeks on the NRL sidelines with an ankle injury.
Thaiday suffered significant ligament damage to his ankle in the Knights 24-18 win over South Sydney on Sunday and will see a specialist on Tuesday to decide whether it requires surgery.
Club doctor Neil Haplin, who assessed Thaiday on Monday, was confident the custodian would not need to go under the knife, but said even in a brace it would take up to six weeks for the ankle to heal sufficiently for Thaiday to return.
The 26-year-old former NSW Waratah rugby player had enjoyed a cracking start to his second year at the Knights, scoring five tries in eight games to put himself in the picture for possible Queensland selection.
Also Seage missed last weeks game because he was ill. dunno how he is now obviously..but yeh fingers crossed on him...otherwise we shouldnt wrry too much..we do have Hinton...love to see him get a go
