It'll be a cold day in hell with a pig flying overhead when a player manager provides any favours for the Wests Tigers.

He certainly has talent, though your middle paragraph has pretty well consistently shown to be a huge issue since Starford arrived. His contract extension never made much sense, possibly a choice verging on being negligent from areas of the club's medical and management systems that approved it.

Or do the players tell porkies when being assessed?

His injuries seem all too frequent. Who was in charge when Toa's extension took place ?

 

[wstigers11]

Damn let the guy play a trial before you lot retire him forever 😂

 

[Vicious]

I was one of Starford’s bigger fans a couple of seasons back when he had plenty of critiques.
Too many half hearted games have really turned me off him, but let’s hope he comes out tonight and shows us all that he is back to somewhere close to his best.

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 ?

 

[stevied]

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]

who plays centre if he is out ?

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
