Your team vs Knights

[upthetigers]

I’m with you there,
As a back up when required he looks like he wouldn’t let the team down

Yeah, you need players like that

Yes where the hell is he , didn’t play nsw cup , are we missing something, no word from the club at all

i thought he (Skelton) copped a head knock late in the Panthers game and came off...maybe he is still suffering some symptoms from that?

I don't know what my verdict on Sukkar is. Is he one of those players that is too good for reserve grade but not really a standout in first grade?

We are only harming his career advancement by continually playing him on an edge and not developing him as a middle forward which best suits his strengths and weaknesses.
He has decent size, decent mobility, decent impact and a decent work rate, but simply does not posses the required footwork, explosive speed, athleticism or defensive smarts and agility to be a better than average NRL standard edge back rower.
Similar to when Seyfarth plays on an edge, they will give us 💯 but are not blessed with the attributes to become a quality player in that position.
Playing in the middle simplifies their role and allows them to do the things they are good at.

Been serious, it might have something to do with there weights program , just guessing

I remember when my grandson was playing 9 and became a tackling machine that mowed down all the big kids the coach worked for 6 months on his tackling it was all technic and effort not Brut strength and he stopped getting injuries

He was at the beginning getting his arm in the wrong position which put pressure on his chest stretching the wrong way but the coach fixed it

And when he became a very good player the opposition defence's use to bash him he broke his collar bone twice then gave up

It could be and I’d expect the medical and performance staff to explore but I don’t think it is.

You look at how each player has dislocated/injured their shoulder. May landed on it (from memory) against Cowboys. Re-injured it against Eagles. I’d imagine it’s already compromised.

Bula was outstretched and aggravated it a few times, AD similar circumstances the way he was reaching for the try line. Pretty common way to dislocate and injure AC joint this way.

Herbert was heavy contact and looked like bad luck. Lots of force in that one too and I’m not sure he wrapped properly so maybe technique had something to do with it.
