OFFICIAL Taylan "Tiny" May #301

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.
 
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.
 

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.
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.
 
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
 
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….
 
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.
