Thommo and Suli injuries

[HappilyManly]

With Siro and Thommo out could Des get clearance for Trex to play NRL

That would really throw the Bin Chickens onto the NRL rubbish heap

I can't see how when we have 5 devel contract players that haven't been used. Only Croker has been used right?

Well the Riff got to play someone who was not even a Development player a few weeks ago

Trex the dynasuar is still a handful

A bit of calf blood wouldn't go astray either

There's a few options Robbo but I don't think Walker will move anywhere. He's killing it at 6 and proving a great foil for Dce . How long is Suli out ?

According to the news Suli injury is minor & will miss next week only! I reckon he'll play!!

Agreed, but Manly is a different animal to Penrith as far as the NRL is concerned, and I don't think the NRL are real keen on T Rex either.

Feel really sorry for Thommo, by far his best year on the game probably ever and with a real shot at Finals glory he gets rubbed out with an injury.

Poor bastard!!

Poor bastard!!

If he manages to heal in 4 weeks he could be back in time for a qualifying final, if we're still in it by then.

Watched T-Rex in reserve grade yesterday closely...he’s so not up to scratch for first grade. Yeah he has moments of skill in ressies but let’s just say if I saw him named in first grade, I would be very nervous lol

Agree, he doesn't deserve that rotten luck. On social media today he said he might call Meninga and ask him about his armguard so he can get back on the field. Serious or not, its probably not a bad idea

Having surgery on his arm tomorrow. Please no infections, like Friend and Burgess

Suli has been named in the centers in NRL match preview. Surely this is a mistake? If not awesome recovery.

Injury not as bad as they thought.

Doubt we will see Thommo again though in 2019.

Nice little update from Thommo:

Surgery was a success, very confident I’ll be back deep in the finals


Appreciate the messages of support

With his season premiership hopes almost all but quashed, everyone should make an effort voting him in for the Ken Stephen Medal. 10 votes from each of us each day.
Come on guys and girls get voting, he deserves it and would love it!

Good idea, but voting closed last week.

Sipley must be back soon. Anyone know his progress?

Thompson keen on Manly return in finals

Joel Thompson has told Manly players he wants to play again in the NRL finals as the revolving doors in the Sea Eagles' second row continue to swing. Curtis Sironen will return for Saturday's grudge match with Melbourne from a hamstring injury, with no concerns despite only going down three weeks ago. His comeback is, however, offset by the loss of Thompson - one of Manly's underrated stars this year who had a plate inserted into his broken arm on Tuesday. Thompson is expected to be sidelined for between four and six weeks, meaning his earliest likely return is the third week of the finals.
"He's alright, he was on the morphine last night after surgery and pretty positive," Sironen said. "It's good to have a little target there for Thomo. He will hopefully be back and ripping in and hopefully we can give him a hand. "He is going to be a massive loss for us. Thomo has been one of most consistent players for us all year. "But if we can get him back, he deserves to be playing finals football so hopefully we can." Sironen will therefore return to his normal right edge for Manly, with Jack Gosiewski shifting to the left. Manly beat the Storm in golden point last month in Melbourne and are gunning to become the first side to defeat the leaders twice this year.
