Tiger_one, there's always a chance but I won't be hanging my hat on it.

A regular on the WT Podcast Forum, Rusty, has spoken to To'a about the injury and it was a partial rupture of the tricep muscle apparently.

Doctor google says the only cure is rest , take the strain off it , operation or not

Makes sense then 8-12 weeks with rest vs 6-8 months with surgery. Also depends how much the tear is I understand less then 50% usually rest and recovery

Always seems to be carrying his bottom lip to me, I know people hate body language analysis on here.

Chronic injury could explain it.

Apparently he's picked up a small injury. Not sure what, but he was seperated from main training group today.

Bloody hell, the injury gods have it him for Star.
@Jedi_Tiger what the odds he plays less than half a season? Real short just like his seasons.

who plays centre if he is out ?

Herbert most likely or, less likely, Makasini moved in and Skelton on wing. Re Toa, what an absolute crock, and already his extension is looking like wasted cash. I'm actually a fan of his because, when fit and motivated, he can be a weapon but, overall, he is far too inconsistent and injury prone.

 

[wstigers11]

Why mess the whole left edge up just to cover Star. Put Herbert in and keep Luai/May/Masi together

 

[Bigscreentv]

Not sure. My guess would be Patrick Herbert as he's played first grade before and backline would not need to be shuffled at all.

 

[TigerBurnsy]

Apparently maka will play centre so probably Lukey on wing

Wish I’d of seen this earlier, I would have taken any odds on big Mak. I reckon Benji believes in if ya good enough you’re old enough and so do I.

What, dropped a water bottle on his toe !
He needs an escort just to use the toilet.

I am not sure Big mac has the defensive experience to play centre at NRL level. Id be leaving him on the wing and bringing in Herbert. However i have a feeling Benj may play Mac at centre and lukeL on the wing as mentioned.

The water bottle was empty too.

Ok - just looked at the team announcement. So ignore my last post which was hoping Benj would go with Herbert.

Look at the coach himself. He was a rake when picked, Sheens backed him when others wouldn’t have.

Time is now for big Mak.
