Storm winger Turner to miss six weeks
4th March 2007, 15:52 WST


Controversial Melbourne Storm winger Steve Turner will miss the opening month of the NRL season with an ankle injury.

Turner has been diagnosed with a ruptured medial ligament in his ankle, which will keep him out of action for six weeks.

But the news could have been worse as there were fears that the injury could have been diagnosed as syndesmosis, which would have meant a three-month layoff.

If there are any positives to come out of this, at least Folau will be given a chance to impress in the opening rounds.

So I suppose this thread is about to turn into 15 pages of Titans fans laughing at Turner's injury and Storm fans abusing Titans fans?

Unlucky for Turner, but from a selfish perspective it will be good to see more of Folau.

Michael Searle rejoices!:lol:

Unfortunate news for both player and club.

Matt Geyer will be a little nervous right about now - Folau now has a chance to prove his worth and if he lives up to the hype, Geyer could be left-right-out of the starting line up to make way for Turner.

I would hope not.

Wishing injury on any player is pathetic and laughing at an injury set back on any player is pitiful.

lockyno1 once again contributes sweet FA to a thread.

Falou to start against the Tigers and absolutely smash them big time...I don't care if he is still a boy cos this boy has the pace and a step to kill any opposition and with King and Geyer supporting him he will settle down to play a big part this year...

I have only seen him once and that was yesterday against the Broncs...mate that was enough to know that he has massive potential and will give 07 a real shake...

Have to agree with Messieur DeeGan. Geyer has to consider this injury to Turner as a 'stroke of fate' (not in a bad way though).

Our backline will probably look something like this now (I hope),

Slater
Folau
King
Quinn
Geyer
Inglis
Cronk

With Folau's big right fend now perfectly placed on Turners wing. That said, that left hand attack has to be one of the biggest in the competition with Folau at least 193cm and King around 192cm!

Formidable backline - scary prospect and the best in the business for mine especially if Inglis excels at five-eight. All reports after his second game there were good, will it carry over to round one and beyond straight away? Time will tell.

I hear it wont be 6 weeks.

He found a doctor that offered him 4 and he is taking that ;-)

Thought you were a familiar forummer from the Titans forum Coas ... I meant curious :lol:

;-)

Yeah i should change that

I wouldn't blame Searle for thinking, "There is a God."

Karma can be a bitch.

No,we as titan fans are happy with our team and are prepared to move on and look forward to round one..

 

[hineyrulz]

This could be a blessing in disguise for the Storm, this Folau sounds like a future superstar. If he comes in and goes well it can only strengthen the Storm's already potent backline.

 

[Deacon]

okay we'll swap Gasnier's injury for Turner's one, okay done deal

 

[TITAN1]

I wouldn't blame Searle for thinking, "There is a God."

Its probably more like relief...another injury is something the titans can do without!:crazy:

 

[Charlie124]

Well its not a broken leg but it'll do i guess..... :sarcasm:

Titans are thriving about making a great impression for their first games,they're doing well regardless infact Titans fans couldn't care less anymore would be my impression.

Turner has proven that he was a dud buy regardless if he was at Titans or Storm:lol:

Anyway,I'm excited for the prospect of Fulau,Storm may very well live up to everyone's expectation of going minor premiers again.

Im glad Turner is a little weed
