ELLIS IN DOUBT AS UTAI OUT WITH KNEE INJURY

Wests Tigers have lost winger Matt Utai with a left knee injury while forward Gareth Ellis is in doubt for round 3.

Utai suffered a medial ligament injury in his left knee late in the second half in the loss to Manly at Bluetongue Stadium and is expected to be out for between 4-6 weeks.

A major cork to Ellis’ left thigh will see him undergo daily treatment in the lead up to the clash against St George-Illawarra Dragons at WIN Jubilee Oval next Friday night.

Ellis and Utai now join winger Lote Tuqiri, prop Keith Galloway and full-back James Tedesco on the casualty list.

Glad we have great depth…. :bash

Sheens on ABC radio seemed pretty confident Ellis would be right for next week. Make of that what you want…

 

[Sabre]

Time for Koroibete to get his turn.
We might never look back.

I agree 100%. This guy will make a few mistakes who doesn't but his attack and pace will more than make up for the errors.

For mine he looks a fantastic prospect.

Losing Utai is another blow but I agree that Koroibete could be given a chance, the blokes got all the attributes needed to make a huge impact for us.

He runs as hard as Utai, he's three times quicker, lightening quick off the mark, seems to enjoy colliding with people and knows how to score a try from anywhere on the field. Give him a go!

 

[steven_tiger]

He sounds impressive. I've never seen him play but I'd love him to be in the number 5 on Friday.

 

[IronTiger]

Koroibete or poss John Grant. Think Tim will be thinking about of these. I'm sure he will be watching NSW Cup a little closer this weekend.

Lote is expected back but really think a week in reggies is needed for fitness.

It would see Reddy move to the wing with Meaney on the bench IMO. Tim has shown he likes a true utility back on the bench and Meaney provides that and has played hooker in trials for us before.

Thats my take on what will happen

 

[Golden]

Meaney ughh don't remind me of him from that titans game last year, but your right Sheens will go with him rather then a kid
