Siotame Havea Jr isn't injured. He's playing A Grade as an 18yo in the Macarthur comp, good stepping stone into Flegg later this season.

With all these injuries our chances of a top 4 finish has seriously shat the bed.
I think we are going to battle it out for a spot in the 8.
Need to beat Melbourne this week.
Manly then penrith will be tough. Even the dogs by then may have improved..
I really hope we dont go on a 4-6 game losing streak again.

Differing reports on Sam Fainu. This club reports has 12 weeks but Tyson Jackson in DT now reporting ...
Wests Tigers backrower Samuela Fainu has been sent for surgery on his foot on Tuesday, with hopes the procedure could speed up his initial recovery time.
Fainu injured his foot on Sunday, during the club’s game against the Sharks, with initial reports ruling him out for six weeks.
But with the surgery it’s hopeful he will return within the 4-6 weeks.

Billy Slater picked it, he said it was worse than it looked & straight away said he'd be gone for a sizeable chunk of the season.

This always happens with our medical team, they say it’s nothing major and the players keep getting their return pushed back, I’m sure it’s happened a few times with Toa and olam

Injuries can either be galvanising or an excuse.
Hopefully last weekend was the wake up call.
Even with the injuries, Tigers are putting a better team than a few years ago on the field. Play to the strengths & maintain the defensive aggression- leaders need to lead.
