Asu Kepaoa (Tigers #4) to go for scans on a left knee injury, mechanism is concerning. Non-contact + direction change unfortunately brings concern for an ACL injury. Have to hope he has escaped with a meniscus tear, would be best case. Fingers crossed for him https://twitter.com/nrlphysio/status/1383612242550083584?s=19

Confirmed ACL for AJ, horrible news.

Bad luck for the kid

 

[Tigerdave]

yeah that's bad luck

Not many options for centre and wing now... seems like Joey will have to step up.

Feel for the kid. Looked good at centre. All the best with recovery, AJ.

Anyone feel like yelling?? Spontaneously combusting even

Speedy recovery AJ. Shown plenty of promise with strong runs.

Certainly looked a lot better at centre. Our backline has thinned out yet again.

Wests Tigers youngster Asu Kepaoa has suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Saturday's heart-breaking loss to South Sydney.

Kepaoa went down late in the game and will meet with a surgeon on Monday to begin what is typically a 6-9 month recovery process.

I doubt Joey will be back. He has to pass a concussion test. That involves remembering numbers, words, counting backwards from 100 by 7 etc.

I don't imagine Joey will be able to do those things on his best day.

That’s a real shame for AJ. I thought he was great yesterday. Hopefully comes back in next year at centre, it’s his best position for sure.

No I think you’ll find protocols have changed they now have to recite the Oportos menu from memory start to finish. Joey will be in this week!
