Best case scenario for us is Olakau'atu, Schuster and Alioi all retuning for Rd 5, with a good possibility that Olakau'atu and Schuster could be one week earlier. In the meantime, I would go with a fwd pack of Marty, Crocker, Tent, Bully, Keepie and Jake. Bench, De'luis, Sipley, Walker and Lawton.

Agree. A possible issue could be that it is the second time it has happened, so may need some surgical intervention to stop it happening again.
I have left a message for nrl physio.
Aloiai is back Rd 4 I think mate (3 week suspension), fingers crossed very similar for Josh and Haumole.
We do have some reasonable depth in the back row luckily with Bullemor, Davey (if fit) and Lawton.
sorry, Aloiai back rd 4, even better. Big mystery about Davey, nothing mentioned about his availability and when he'll be back.

We are in trouble if that is our pack and bench. Keppie is a middle forward and couldn't play the huge minutes required of an edge backrower and Deluis and Sipley on the bench together is a bad sign. Needs to be one or the other on the bench really.

Hopefully and maybe I am dreaming but hopefully Davey is ready for round 1. He is our other edge backrower.
We are 3 fwds down, who would you have for DeLuis then, if Davey can't play ?

Even if Davey is ready, as impressive as he was in the one and a bit game he played for us last year, he's still been out for 12 months. Match fitness is a concern, needs some time in Blacktown. Bully left side and Keppie to mark up against Kikau on the right for Round 1. And then on the bench, I'd have Walker Taupau Keppie KDL (Paseka Sipley starting props). I know, three props, but we got monstered by the big teams for carrying two utility players. We need to match up in size against teams like Melbourne and Penrith if we wanna fight for victories.

Manly injury concerns before season opener
Des Hasler is clinging to hope Manly's team for the NRL season opener against premiers Penrith will be intact after they suffered three injuries in an 18-16 trial loss to Canberra.
"The main one is Haumole, it's just his elbow which he subluxed," Hasler said.
Ok - this tells me that the club Dr's and physios spoke to Des and said it's 'subluxed' - which is a 'simple dislocation' (no major bone injury) rather than a 'complex dislocation' (blood vessels and nerves injured). Hopefully - no (even minor) bone breakages. He may be out for as little as 3 weeks.
See: Elbow Dislocation - OrthoInfo - AAOS
Olak is my favourite forward he hits like a Big Mac truck in defence. We don’t give a edge forwards enough opportunities to run holes out wide and that is something Schuster does well from five eight.

I would have Burbo just for a different type of player and can cover the centres as well. Sipley really looks good - he is ripping in but he and DeLuis are basically the same player - hit it up - get tackled. De Luis does more work in defence.
Wouldn't Walker cover the centres BT, probably need another bigger body on the bench against the more heavyweight Penrith fwds. Who would you pick on the bench?

It's only a game ...
Burbo is not small @ 107 kg & 193 cm

only if Davey is not ready
Who would be your other 3 on the bench, though?

Sipley Walker Burbo and hopefully Lawnton because Davey will be fit - fingers crossed

Interesting that the elbow in question wasn't strapped. I think he played with it strapped for a long while last season so obviously the team didn't think it was or could be an ongoing issue.

The incident also looked fairly innocuous (to me).
Hopefully that doesn't mean it's potentially a recurring injury.
