HORROR DISGNOSIS FOR TIGER
Wests Tigers star Samuela Fainu is set to miss around six weeks with a foot fracture, in another huge blow to Benji Marshall’s outfit.Fainu failed to finish Sunday’s heavy loss to Cronulla after an innocuous looking tackle on Sharks prop Toby Rudolf left the back rower grimacing with pain.
Unable to bear any weight on his right foot, Fainu had to be chaired off the field into the sheds by Tigers trainers late in the second half.
Fainu was sent for scans on Monday, which confirmed the 22-year-old had suffered a fractured foot.
It comes as Marshall prepares to spend the next four to six weeks without star playmaker Adam Doueihi, whose career best form has helped drive the Tigers’ resurgence this season.
Doueihi dislocated his shoulder scoring a try against Cronulla, leaving the field after just 10 minutes.

Horror diagnoses? Talk about sensationalism. Six weeks could be a good thing considering it looked like it could have easily been season ending. And idk about anyone else, but I got flashes of Tuiaki. Thankfully it’s nothing like that. So six weeks is a relief in a way. Who knows, could be less if he rehabs well.

The look on his face when he was chaired off made you think he lost his foot, so yes, it could of been a lot worse.
Those lisfranc injuries can take months to heal if he copped one of those.

Terrible news for big Sam F 6 weeks out and AD as well with 4 to 6 weeks and API another 2 weeks , this is going to be very tough for us over the next month or so , we don’t have the cattle to cover this in reserve grade , Sione into Sam’s spot and Mason into Hooker for me , bring in Bunty on the bench , Hope and Sukker are average at best , club needs to recruit reserve graders better , Geyer = Dud , This type even cheap don’t work you need guys on the verge who will bust one to try and force their way into firsts , Geyer was not on the verge

Only misses 5 games aswell with the bye in there
Just a rumour
No indication that it would be mid season.
I like the idea of Spencer Leniu and Royce Hunt together

wingers seem to be a spot they think they can “get by” …been that way for a while …. They need something more than developing guys with less than 10 games between them.., they need to be able to do plenty of work these days …at both ends of the field… and it would be good to have an experienced campaigner next season
Luke L has taken a jump this year … has looked good apart from the first game … but he is gone and you would think Maka has a big question mark after next year..Skelton probably has his bags packed
Winger is the biggest need for 2027 outside back up 9
Old Charlie would be handy right now.
Hope hes doing well

Would have to take a paycut to come here you would think. At least for next year.

I have heard he is going well at Catalans …playing fullback ! The Perth Bears rumoured to have interest ( another one..) …
he is too small for a winger these days ..so wouldn’t have been a fit for for us ,,

What is it with this club and foot injuries.
More foot injuries than you can poke a stick at.
I'm beginning to think foot injuries is a euphemism.
Does anyone connected with the club use air quotes when they say foot injury? I'm curious to know.
Do we need to employ Dr. Scholl?
