Ballin???,Manly laughing all the way to the Bank but Idris probably deserves a 2nd chance as he can play when his confidence is high with no personal dramas or injuries.

I don't just feel sorry for him, that means for the club we were going to push a Simona-Idris centres combo this year, instead we are left with Suli-MCK.
Not that Suli isn't a rising star, but we're in trouble if we take another injury in the centres.

I was very disappointed to hear this. He's a nice guy, big personality and a marketing asset to the club. Good luck to him with his recovery.

The odd leak I was getting around the traps, was telling me he was not in the 2018 plans and was not getting a new contract. Still very sad for the big fella, you could tell he put in a lot of hard work to make a comeback this year and his game was starting to look pretty good.
Really doubt he will make it back to NRL standard

Wests Tigers coach Ivan Cleary admits Jamal Idris’ career hangs by a thread after ACL rupture
May 11, 2017 10:51am
THE colourful career of Jamal Idris is hanging by a thread after the Wests Tigers centre suffered a second ACL rupture, the club admits.
The 26-year-old will sit out the rest of the season after suffering the devastating knee injury during a training mishap on Saturday.
It’s the same knee he injured during his time at Penrith, a blow which prompted him to walk away from the game and take an 18-month hiatus.
Facing his second knee reconstruction, coach Ivan Cleary said it wasn’t yet clear if the former NSW and Australian representative would be forced to hang up his boots but he should know by next week.
“That’ll be up to Jamal,” Cleary said of the prospect of Idris retiring.
“You can’t really talk about that at the moment, there’s so much to digest, there’s so much disappointment and we need to find out medically around his recovery.
“We’ll know a bit more about that next Tuesday when he has his next appointment. We’re giving him a bit of space at the moment.”
Idris was only five games into his return to rugby league after taking time off to travel the world.
He had signed a cut-price deal with the Tigers and was attempting to rebuild his career.
“It’s a huge blow for anyone anytime but when you do two in a row and he’s had such a positive restart for him this year,” Cleary said.
“Fate deals some really tough blows sometimes and this is one of them.”
It’s also a big blow for the Tigers who will be without skipper and prop Aaron Woods for the next several weeks due to a hamstring injury.
“We’ve got a pretty decent pack ourselves and we certainly back our own players,” Cleary said.
“Our guys are very motivated for the game and looking forward to the challenge against South Sydney.”
