With a chance at playing finals now effectively over it would seem the long term health of the players is now becoming a priority. The club is considering sending both Tom Trbojevic and Jorge Taufua for much needed surgery on their ankle and infected shoulder plate respectively.
* Tom Trbojevic (ankle) had an early scare in the warm-up, but made it through the game. However, with the Sea Eagles now out of finals contention, coach Trent Barrett says he may send his star fullback and winger Jorge Taufua (shoulder) for season-ending surgery. “We will assess that now we can’t make the finals,” Barrett said “There is no point risking blokes now. But we won’t be throwing it away, we still have three games to go.”

Should they be sent to have surgery before the season is done in a bid to get them right for 2017, or should they wait until the off-season?
