2026 Wests Tigers Injuries

[Buttface]

Probably aggravated the injury signing his new contract. 😡

What no sarcasm emoji? 🤣

I hare seeing big Sam on that list. I wanted him to keep progressing on his current trajectory he had best srf in the comp in his sights.

The dragons are the only team I would be confident of beating while we have basically our spine and best backrower in rehab. Getting Api and Bula back will help in a couple of weeks. There will be effort but no team in the comp can be competitive with the majority of their spine on the sidelines. Under the salary cap it’s impossible to carry NRL standard coverage for your whole spine

Sigh

Injury gods eh.
We had probably the best run of injuries last year...it was always in the back of my mind maybe we used up all our luck then
Im not throwing in the towel.yet but geez its gunna be tough

Quite heartbreaking isnt it. Started the season with high hopes (great pink Floyd song). I dont think the season is over, but we need everyone back to make a run for the finals. Samuela for 12 weeks is a big worry, hopefully its really 6, but thats just blind optimism.

I think Doueihi is the biggest loss. We will be a different side when he is back.

In addition to the players out injured, Jarome Luai & Taylan May still hampered by their injuries. Heath Mason looked to be struggling with something in the 2nd half. Starford To'a still cautious not to use his left arm in NSW Cup when pushing off a player or off the ground.

It's amazing how much value Adam adds to the team from 2 years ago, he's a gun now just as well we locked him up for the future, just imagine what offers he'd attract if off contract in November.

There would be no way we could keep all the players we wanted in the squad.

Melbourne are dodgy as

What was the story with Twal?
Did the ref tell him to go off despite it being deemed a cat 3 or something...confused.

 

[Tom Shines]

So Taylan possibly out for the year according to Benji’s PC after the game ? Assume he will require surgery now

That’ll be the worry with Buls & AD now too. Will they be 1% off their game defensively to protect their shoulders? Then will they pop again meaning season over?

Major worries with this type of injury of a repeat dislocation … takes me back to the Benji early days

The Dragons would beat that tigers team yesterday undoubtedly

We were spared injuries last year until we started really hitting our straps after our mid year slump. this year we were playing really well and it all collapsed with 5 of our top players out. I wonder if you can correlate the occurrence of injury and performance metrics of a team/individuals...in simple terms, do injuries increase based on players actually making an effort and putting their body on the line which translates to success of the team and more specifically higher output and better quality metrics for an individual. Look at the injuries we have copped...mostly our top performers...Hope, Mason, Luke, Herbert etc.. getting through games unscathed....and before anyone mentions Toa...he is an aberration I would exclude HIA's as they could just relate to poor technique/bad luck.

how many more injuries did we pick up against Manly? Taylan May looks to be out for quite some time. Did Madden do his hamstring?
