It still sucks for Dylan because he was looking at a Kangaroo re-call (remember he did play in the 2014 Four Nations). But from a Manly perspective, if its going to happen better it happen soon after the end of our season where he will miss a minimum amount of game time, if any at all. That gives him at least 6 months to recover before we start our 2018 season.
If you're going to get an injury like that, better it happen in the off-season than like what happened to Ricky Stuart when he had a similar injury in 1993. That effectively killed Canberra's chances because it happened in the 2nd last round.
