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

Mid season transfer. He wants to play for a team that has a chance of playing finals football.

Just a rumour

No indication that it would be mid season.

I like the idea of Spencer Leniu and Royce Hunt together

Luke L goneski, Skelton goneski? We have no depth.

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

 

[innsaneink]

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?

But Bula has resigned till 2030

 

[Nonotmeagain]

Done deal: Jahream Bula signs with Wests Tigers until end of 2030​

 

[Nonotmeagain]

I guess all those writing off the interim CEO may have to accept he's done a good job with the latest signing and getting Luai off the books

Spencer Leniu is reportedly '75 per cent' of the way to joining former teammate Jarome at PNG

Is his contract up end of next year? If he could somehow swing him for rest of this year and next then there could be some value there.

I thought I read somewhere Parramatta had asked tigers if they could get him mid season
o believe tigers told them to get stuffed

Swap them for one of their good players. Like, er, y'know, that one guy. Nah I got nothing.

I wonder if it has anything to do the type of boots they are wearing, the stud pattern can effect feet. Back when I was playing league for my school & soccer for my local club and regional reps I ended up getting a different pair (both pairs with screw in studs) for league with a different pattern, the Physio at Blacktown City blamed my foot problems on wearing my soccer boots while playing league with the wrong stud pattern & wrong length studs.

I ended up with a pair of Adidas with more smaller diametre studs on it (12 or 14 from memory) for league whilst wearing my usual 10 stud Pumas for soccer.
