Ok so it's been a month… does anybody have any further updates? Sheens didn't mention him in the press conference last night when questioned about our injuries.

On the Wests Tigers website it says Topou's return date is still indefinite. Also Fulton's return date is Round 17, which is later than alot of people thought…

Yeah they initially said 4-6 weeks, so people were expecting Fulton back in Round 14 - 16\. I guess with some injuries it's hard to know exactly when.

I have never know an injured Tiger who comes back from injury either on time or early!!

Blake Ayshford is the only one.

 

[MacDougall]

Cayless was supposed to be out for one week! What a disaster of a signing he turned out to be.

Really? I recall a player called Pat Richards playing in an important match in 2005\. What was that game and who won? Did Richards score a try?

I understand where alexaki is coming from though… injuries at the Tiger's seem to take longer than any other club.

Probably because other clubs say a 6 week injury is a 6 week injury … when a Tiger gets a 6 week injury they say he'll be back in 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks ... call a spoon a spoon. Would rather they say someone will be out for x weeks from the beginning than it changing each week

Given the nature of the injuries to Tuiaki and Tupou there is no set timeframe on their return. As it is, I don't think Tuiaki will be back this year.

 

[balmainkings]

he wont be back

 

[Geo]

he wont be back

Tame Tupou?

Tell that to the Warriors. Steve Price has been out for ages with a "bruised heel". Besides there have been many occasions where players have been ruled out for weeks and come back early. I seem to remember it happening with Bryce Gibbs.

Are you suggesting the Tigers deliberately lie about how long an injured player will be out for?

 

[southerntiger]

Of course he is. Dont forget the human body is very simple organism so of course the club must be lying. Their reason for lying is that Tim Sheens gets an extra pair of steak knives for each week that a player is out longer than predicted. This was a longstanding bet that he had with Royce in 2006.
