Iv been hyper critical of him this year, I never want to see any of the guys get injured though, it would be a crappy way for his career to end, I hope for his sake it's only a minor tear. It's no way for a players career to end. Reminds me of Fulton, that guy never got the retirement he deserved.

Unfortunately minor tear in ACL is still full reconstruction

Sheens is nuts and is proving it the more and more he speaks. He doesn't realise that whilst hes been over in geezerville that weve been watching Brooks get worse every season. The sooner Sheens buggers off to the nursing home the better.

Damn so it's no difference if its a complete rupture or a minor tear, that sucks for the poor guy. Hoping a minor tear just required a clean up and stitch or something and maybe a few months on the sidelines. Another reco really puts his career in jeopardy. Been really critical of his performances recently esp when he was at fullback, but didn't want to see this happen to the poor guy. From what everyone was saying he seemed to start hitting his straps in the second half as well. This sucks.

Dylan Edwards could be a good fullback for us.
9. Api
7. Sezer
6. Brooks

Can't believe that guy is only on 450k. He is in the top 5 fullbacks easily if not top 3 in the comp. He should be on well north of a million a year

And a wonderful young fella as well. Doubt he'd ever leave the foot of the mountains but if he ever did, he'd be an absolute winner for us or anyone else.

Dylan Edwards is an absolute gun. I'd love to get him.

Whilst an upgrade at fullback would be nice, I think Staines can do a job. We need to upgrade at halfback, first and highest priority. After that's done, see how much we have left to upgrade other positions.

Staines mightn't make it but I agree from a cap management point of view we should be targeting halves with good kicking games.

Api, Staines and Brooks in the spine are definitely worth a shot for a longer period but we need another quality player in that mix. They give us speed and creativity along with good pretty good defense.

We also need another outside back.

We are getting there though. It's not all doom and gloom.

Luai would be my million dollar man if he'd come here for the cash $$$ 1.3 for five might give us a chance. Probably not tho.

The Wests Tigers are the unluckiest team in the NRL - and the stats prove it

The Tigers have had the short end of the stick this year - but is it their fault?

Not all doom & gloom. Great article here that provides stats which show that all is not bad with our performances, only luck & finishing!

I agree too that our #1 & #2 priorities must be a controlling halfback with good kicking game & a good ball-playing / running five-eighth. One of these ideally is a dominant goalkicker.

Oh dear. He is playing ordinary and is an ordinary human. No way he is worth anywhere near 1m let alone 1.3m. He does not influence games at all.

I don't think it necessary is. I had a partial tear and didn't need a reconstruction. I chose to have it done because I knew my confidence would be shot knowing I had already torn half the graft (ACL), but the doctor said with the right strengthening work, half will be ok.

Do you mean Luai?

Personal feelings aside the bloke is a proven winner.

If just a tear and not operated on the stability of knee is heavily compromised, you are correct though you can still get by but I don’t think surgeons wouldn’t recommend it especially under the rigours of NRL.

I'd say your 100 percent, especially given its the 3rd on the same knee, if it is a minor tear just wonder though if they would opt for a complete reco, redoing everything, or just fix the tear and check everything else still looks ok

 

[OzLuke]

Like the idea. Think theres zero chance of anyone executing it in our administration

Didn't Burgess do this too?

Now we also need a consistent goal kicker as well....
