Benji Marshall Knee Injury?

[Mattie13]

Benji's injury???

 

[MacDougall]

Yeah early reports of medial ligament out 6-8 weeks but scans tomorrow to confirm.

 

[farahfan]

hopefully its just a strain which could mean fewer weeks

 

[stryker]

Not being mentioned much is it?

IMO the reason is that most on here would agree that if this injury is confirmed then our season is over. Everyones hoping against hope…

 

[Mattie13]

Benji out for 8 weeks = Season Goooone. Enter profanities here

 

[tiger05]

If he's out I reckon we start looking at next season. Get a half to partner Benji. Get a fullback and rebuild Robbie's game completely.

 

[MacDougall]

I disagree. It's a huge chance for the Tigers to prove themselves. They will step up without Marshall and develop a different style of play. Blessing in disguise imo. That or wishful thinking.

Low grade medial strain. He may be right to face the Bulldogs or miss a week.

 

[tigers05]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Maybe it is the same as the injury that he left the field with against the Roosters in the semi last year. Fingers crossed.

Quotes
Wests Tigers superstar Benji Marshall faces scans on a knee injury but early indications are he could play in his side's crucial NRL clash with Canterbury next Friday night.

"It's a medial strain, it's only going to be a low grading," Tigers assistant coach Peter Gentle said.

"He may miss a week, he may not.

"We'll get scans done tomorrow."

So doesen't look too bad at all

it was Douglas.That guyz superhuman

 

[GNR4LIFE]

the short turnaround won't help him,however i remember Sheens saying Lote's injury wasn't that serious.Also heard a rumor that Lawrence will be back next week.Find it hard to believe though

Hi all,

Can someone pls advise what happened to Benji today? What was the injury, how bad is it and how long will he be out for?

I missed the game. I hear he hurt himself. Appreciate the help guys.

I wouldnt mind seeing how someone like LUI goes by himself. I feel hes often a bit daunted playing behind Farah and Marshall and feels he shoudlnt do too much.

I wanna see how he goes in the halves by himself when its all on him. I think itll tell us alot about him and how good he is.

Knee. Medial ligament

 

[bp_tiger]

i notice all our player allways take longer to recover than any other team, do we need a better medical team.lote sprained his ankle and is out for six weeks douglas does his knee and plays the next week cant figure it out.
