2025 Injury Update

Is this a joke?

Don't you people know by now Merlot is never happy even when we win.

Is this a joke?

Okay then, well how often have you seen him 'sook'? I'm a fan of his and I can't really recall him being remotely soft. The bigger knock is he doesn't show enough emotion.

Today he was clearly hobbling in the lead up to the final try and then he chased a kick and hurt his ankle more.

Last year he played all season and then took the final games off to have a shoulder reco. And in his rookie season the bloke made several very brave tackles on our line to prevent tries.

i agree with most of what you said ,ive seen him sook quiet a bit,the guy is a machine and kamikaze's in defence. Maybe im just sinical and wanting to see a further 3 year nrl educated hardened player ,today

 

[rihannafan1]

At the game it was puzzling why he was left on so long. Were we without interchanges left?

I read that we finished with 12 players, so I guess we were out.

Yeah that game against the Panthers in the wet when he got pummeled over and over by bombs. Sook my ass.

 

[innsaneink]

Is Bula just a new age kid ,where every bump needs a band aid n a cuddle. The kid competes, played well 2night.Just seems to sook after to much contact.Maybe in 3 years of nrl it will steel him for the hard knocks

I guess you missed the leadership camp doco
Terrible call

double or nothing - why is he always left in a position to be pummeled again n again n limp off sooking.Young n dumb = sook.i rate the guy ,he just needs to harden up ,which takes time

i saw it.I rate him ,love his enthusiasm to engage put his body on the line, just don't look for a Barny band aid when it gets real .Time will toughen him,no doubt

 

[phil1986]

Seeing it live vs, the replay (where it was largely missed). He struggled to weight bear.

I would love to be to optimistic.

But. That seems a couple of weeks recovery at least.

 

[Merlot]

LOL Barny band aids n Bula wont be turned into a Bateman was treated harshly marathon/back n forwards back n forwards.When Bula becomes a 70 game veteran n stops sooking it will be mostly praise from here

 

[das tigers]

I hope Bula is ok,made a huge difference. Great game from him and was
good to see him back.

Hope the moon boot is not a sign of more time on the sidelines, made a huge difference when he came back into the side, he really stood out yesterday.

Yeah I'm not confident just optimisic. Hopefully not out for long.

 

[tig_prmz]

Someone landed on him when he scored the try I think, so hopefully not too bad as his weight wasn't on it.

Lots of people limping around
Sam Fainu
Jack Bird with ice on his R knee
To'a I think we off for the last 20

Hope to get an update on them all

You don't wanna wish injury upon anyone, but kind of glad Sam Fainu is limping lol. Been rather dead

Not great when our 2nd row depth is non-existent

Trouble is who comes in to replace him at the moment who is up for it, I would rather him he will find form eventually.

 

[Telltails]

The excessive heat would have resulted in lots of cramping and muscle fatigue for the players.Sam Fainu seemed to struggle more than most from the get go.

What was most worrying was the size of the divot he left. On the replay you see how deep he goes in, how much movement. Nothing to brace him like firm ground.

I’ve rolled my ankle like that a couple of times . Thought I clean broke it on more than one occasion, but just really badly sprained and if I’d have had the knowledge I do now with RICE , and managing I’m sure I would have recovered quicker as well .

He also carried that heavy pole for the team in the camp - after just having a shoulder reconstruction. He’s no sook.
