Wolfman ruled out for the season

[Berkeley_Eagle]

MANLY winger David Williams will have shoulder surgery next week after he was ruled out for the season on Friday afternoon.

The former NSW and Australian winger was hoping to make a surprise return for the Sea Eagles in their last-round win over the Dragons but was ruled out when he failed a fitness test.
Scans yesterday ruled him out for the year, with a shoulder reconstruction required next week.
Manly coach Des Hasler said the 23-year-old Parramatta junior was shattered with the news.
“He’s very despondent,” the coach said on Friday.
“He hasn’t played any football this year and is pretty upset.
“It’s very frustrating for him, especially when he was coming off a troubling year last year with injury.
“It’s definitely a blow.”
Williams suffered the injury at the start of the year when preparing for Manly’s opening-round clash against the Tigers.
A pre-match training injury on the eve of that game ended his 2010 NRL campaign.
Hasler said if Williams had of got through his fitness test ahead of the Dragons game, he would have made a return.
“But he’s now got to have surgery,” the coach confirmed.
Williams is the second big-name Sea Eagle to be ruled out for the year following the season-ending loss of Brett Stewart (knee).
But while their absence is a blow for the club, Manly is well served this season in the outside backs with Ben Farrar and Tony Williams cementing themselves in the starting line-up.

This is a shame but not a massive loss.

He had injuries before we picked him up too, some people are just unlucky.

Dean Whare steps up as number back up now I assume. Leave Farrar at fullback.

Brett stewert out for the season wolfman out for the season i guess this isnt manlys year. I thought this is a rebuilding season for us but everything else is a bonus. manly should be selling off these injury proned players and keeping the money for keeping our treasured forward pack which is our backbone it;s too late for Josh Perry his removal was a cardinal sin for our dumb board.

 

[Harold Bishop]

Yeah lets release a player every time they break a leg, that's sure to boost team morale...

 

[Talanexor]

You can have his brother. Or Bani. We're done with those two useless mongs.

We seem to be doing well without them.

Idiot, I would rather lose Perry and re-sign Matai, Foran and Hodkinson.

Manly seem to be travelling just fine without them - especially Williams.

 

[hellteam]

I completely forgot about that guy

 

[caspersparks]

prob wouldnt get a run at the moment with the was trex is playing (sh*t, i never thought i'd write that after last year)...
but sucks if we get a couple more injuries...

 

[patzz_]

if another injury, would whare or Hoppa get first shot in the backline? Can hoppa play wings or centre?

 

[zombie jesus]

Hopoate was on stand by when Matai was in doubt against the Warriors.

Tough break for Wolfman, but it's one position that is covered well...
