Myles mystery absence explained

[Mitch]

This is from Massoud, still not sure why he wasn't just listed on the injured list.

Eagle-eyed observers on team list Tuesday were surprised to see Nate Myles omitted from Manly’s 21-man squad this week.

The QLD Origin veteran was also left-off an accompanying ‘injured players’ list; raising immediate speculation around his absence.

We’ve done some digging and it turns out Myles is again struggling with his right knee.

We’re told he suffered a small cartilage tear and needs one or two weeks rest – not ideal timing with both Origin teams to be named in just over a month.

Sea Eagles coach Trent Barrett told us the warhorse simply needed to be preserved to survive another long season.

After labelling his 2016 form “****house”, Myles has submitted some improved performances off the bench this year.

...and we've got him for how long?

Or put another way...those that can read.


Massoud still owes Matai an apology for his 'mobile phone' accusations and subsequent 'game on' calls. Wanker.

Huh?

The issue was raised by the MWSE Team list page
http://www.seaeagles.com.au/news/2017/04/11/nrl_team_list_round_.html

"Coach Trent Barrett has named his side to play the Melbourne Storm at Lottoland this Saturday.

“Nate Myles has been rested for this weekend. He has had a big six weeks and I have got a healthy rotation of forwards with Lloyd Perrett back in the team," Barrett said....."

Myles played all of 4 hours in 6 weeks, Kapow is out injured so how is 'rest' and 'I have a healthy rotation' applicable 😕

Perrett has no match fitness to boot 😱


Massoud is an idiot who can not investigate, prior to posting his breaking news stories

Remember the audience Manboob is writing these stories for.

Its only a knee jerk reaction.

I cant see him going around again next year. Might retire at seasons end and free up another 500k a year for 2018.

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Maybe a liking for the absynth could explain some of Nate's absences.

 

[MANLY4LIFE]

Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.



(for more absinthe)


Rest up Nate! Come back a'firing!

 

[Terry Zarsoff]

Darn it. I misspelled absinthe.

Darn it. I misspelled absinthe.

cmon we only just got rid of the green fairy blob

PS Mansinthe is one of the best I have tasted.

Myles and Lawrence have carried our others so far. If the man needs a rest. Give the man a rest.

 

[double hoops]

Those other lazy prick forwards can do something for once.

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

Missing similar like on the park.

 

[Budgie]

And here I was taking the title as a hint and thinking he'd been sent to spelling school.

* Sorry Mitch, couldn't resist.

 

[Bearfax]

Hope they give young 'Tiny' Paseka a chance to mow down the chaff

That's not the case if he retires, unless it's a career ending injury he will still be included in next year's cap whether he plays or not.
