OFFICIAL Taylan "Tiny" May #301

[Betterdays22]

I'd just put Skelton there and have him flying out of the line trying to cut Latrell's time off. he's probably the only player we have that could hit and stick.

I know what you're saying but I think Walker would be in Disneyland with Skelton at centre

 

[Oscar Martinez]

Personally I'd be moving KPP to centre for the game. He played a fair bit of it in Super League and I think we need his size against Souths.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Cody and Fifita are going to hold up those two on the inside I'd say. going to be a tough assignment for anyone.

I worry if we pick a smallish centre Trell is going to drag him along or just stampede over the top of him, it's not fair, whoever gets chosen should be allowed to take a bat on with him to even it up.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

It'll be Turuva at right centre, Skelton at right wing for a few reasons.

1 They had 65 mins of reps as that combo against the Cows (KPP - Doeuihi - Turuva - Skelton).

2 Turuva is a loud voice in defence and his comms with AD & KPP inside him will be crucial.

3 Turuva was signed by Richo & Benji with the potential of playing centre (I remember Richo saying that in an interview) which he came up through the grades at Panthers playing & playing well up to NSW Cup level. Benji will give him the opportunity.

I get everyone is worried about Latrell & rightly so but defence is more about teamwork than individual match-ups. We'll be watching Cody, Fifita, Latrell & AJ with Gray sweeping.

That edge will be a good battle and they should be worried defending us on that side too.

 

[Viva_Zapata]

Yeah for sure and how good would it be to see Skelton cut Latrell in half. Don't think anyone has ever done it before!

At least swap them in defence at a planned time to execute it. Bring it on!!

NRL Physio on X indicated this type of shoulder injury would likely require surgery later on, likely off-season, if it can last that long.

Is he getting surgery?

I saw it the other day and knew what happened as it happens like that to me.

A low impact dislocation will probably continue to happen again even in an innocuous way
like reaching for tryline. If he's just going to do physio and try and strength the area,he could
be back sooner than you think. Though my guess is it will be recurring. The article did say
he was he did take place in a skills session. Hopefully he's back soon and managed well with
strengthen and strapping after the swelling is fully down.

yeah these things are timebombs. give him time to repair some of the damage and strap / needle where possible, but he'll be in for surgery at some point.

he'll just have to miss the World Club Challenge I spose. sigh.

 

[Bigscreentv]

It will be Turuva to centre IMO, like on the weekend, but they may choose to defend Douehi one wider to cover opposing centre.

 

[TSupps05]

It'll most likely be that he manages it conservatively (physio and needling) and will be back playing soon.
But if it dislocates again he will probably go straight to a shoulder reconstruction which is 3+ months... Fingers crossed all goes well and he only needs the surgery next year

A month is still a long big out

Yep... only have to look at Toby Couchman & Matty Nicholson as recent examples.

 

[innsaneink]

Disappointing i rrckon Tiny wouldve loved the chance up against mitchell...lotta motivation there

 

[Telltails]

Damn - that's footy.
Got a couple of options - it will be interesting to see which way it goes

 

[Oldman]

Agree

 

[bptiger 0]

He should get a bag of cement and turn up this weekend .
But being serious, he going to be a huge loss , we have gone from having depth to been short of centres , hope someone stands up and cements a spot

 

[TT 01]

Really feel for him after all his been through - was pumped to see how he went this year after a full pre season behind him. Hopefully comes back and can play at 100%.
Only a few minutes into the season too….

 

[TCL]

He is going to be missed and I wish him a speedy recovery.

While I would have preferred it never happened, better now than later in the year.
