How serious the 4 injuries

[Phantomlock]

Teddy, Patterson and Woods left out as a precaution and ok to play this week hopefully.

Jessie's probably the worst of them. Was in a moonboot Sunday morning but not limping too much. Hope he gets through it this week as well.

The most useful utility we could have at the club could be Mr T

But it sounds like he is not cutting it for whatever reason

The most useful utility in the club and obviously bought for this reason is unfortunately sitting in rehab for the next few months. It would have solved a lot of these problems having Halatau in the 14\. Oh well good plan stuffed again.

Wests Tigers should also know more on Monday about the fitness of halfback Luke Brooks and interchange forward Sauaso Sue after both suffered ankle injuries in Saturday's 42-18 loss to the Warriors in Wellington.
Fullback James Tedesco and second-rower Cory Paterson also failed to finish the match with concussion.
Tigers coach Mick Potter said he was worried when Paterson, who had the words "Rise for Alex" written on his wrist, landed awkwardly on his head but described the tackle from Sione Lousi as an accident.
‘‘It was serious enough for him not to come back on, his head got in a bad place,’’ Potter said. ‘‘It’s always a concern when there’s a bad tackle, that’s just the nature of the game. Sometimes there’s accidents that just happen.’’

Was Brooks also injured ?

Woods and Sue worry me to be honest. Woods missed the back portion of last season with a chronic knee injury so I hope it's nothing serious, likewise with Sue. The issue we saw today was by carrying 4 big units on the bench, when a back goes down, our defensive line out wide takes a turn for the worse.

ohhh let's not go down the road of Tim Sheens again where we have a winger sitting on the bench for 70 mins please/ what we need is a utility player.. until Moltzen is back we don't have one

Moltzen are you kidding I would put Austin straight in

Watching the NSW Cup he looks well out of match fitness, heavily bandaged leg too.

He is a massive unit wish he had the heart of Fulton then he would be unstoppable

I've never been much of a fan of having a back on the bench, but with the new concussion rules there will be games where you regret not having one.

Exactly what I was going to say. The concussion rules have completely changed the dynamics of the interchange. There seriously needs to be an 18th man rule. You could have a utility player there and still select your 4 forwards on the bench.

Sue is out for 6-8 weeks with a syndemosis ankle injury;
Woods hurt the lateral ligament in his ankle but is expected to play;
Simona is back;
Fulton is back;
Tedesco should be right to play but will be monitored;
Likewise for Paterson.

Likely reshuffle would be Fulton to start and Paterson to bench in place of Sue.

Sirro and Halatau are both healing well and on track, Moltzen just had further surgery and Andrew Vela is running well and on track for round 10 (state cup for him though).

what is it with our medical reports every one is always out for 6-8 weeks plus.

thats not sounding good for Sue…. long recovery and always a weak point from then on. Crap way to do your ankle.
