Jorge Taufua is out for at least a month

Dave Perry said it looks like Jorge has a dislocated shoulder.

Tafua will start whenever fit. He is our best winger. Williams will struggle this year to keep hiku out.

 

[HappilyManly]

Wolfie is more determined to earn his spot than any other Manly Player.

Struggle no - strive, a big yes

Hiku is not a Winger, and is much slower than our two wingers. I would have him on the bench to cover anything from lock to fullback.

True Hiku is not a winger, but he is the next best in 1sts, unless Manly want to bring up a 20s player.

I heard this afternoon Tafua will see his Surgeon tomorrow to find out whether he needs a Shoulder Reconstruction

^ No, Hiku isn't a winger, but it's blindingly obvious he's a first-grade footballer whenever he takes the field. You just know he belongs there, and that he'd handle pretty much any position thrown at him.

I fear Hoorhay might be gone for 3-4 months, or longer....bloody Nines!!

 

[HappilyManly]

Jorge smashed his shoulder in the trials - bloody Parra!! 😎

I saw a list of all club's injuries.
The comp has not even started and Penrith have 10 players on the injured list!

 

[EagleFromMay1967]

My vote is for Cheyse Blair & Satini as replacement wingers.
Gutherson too slight and fear we are going to need Hiku elsewhere.

As bad as it is to lose a player to injury, like Manly's Jorge.
It would be far worse to lose a player because they were Blueing like the Dragons.
Very disruptive to a teams mental preparation.
