Uate Injured

[Spartan Eagle]

I think we need to wrap our players in cotton wool next season.

"Akuila Uate suffered a suspected ankle syndesmosis injury during Saturday's bruising encounter at Campbelltown Stadium.

Uate exited the game late in the first half and had a moon boot on his ankle at full-time before he emotionally broke down in front of his teammates in the changing room, fearing he'd represented the Bati for the final time."

No loss unfortunately

Uate ran in and missed a tackle and fell over grabbing his leg 😎

Bad luck for anyone we have to play for the rest of the year.

Great news!

We might see someone who can catch on the wing, be nice to see a young gun get a go but we all know Ball sack Barrett will pick wright

Who else does he pick? Wouldn't it be great if the NRL would allow us to play someone outside the top 30 but sadly we have wingers inside the top 30 that are available.

I would expect to see Suli on the wing now that Walker is back.

If Uate is out long term, we must play either Jade Anderson or Suli on the wing!!

Can't pick Anderson but maybe Funa will get a run? He's the only one of our top squad yet to debut.

The season is lost. We need to see Fainu, Funa and Tom Wright given a go. Tom W to 6 Fainu to 9. Unload Perrett ,Hastings and Lane begore June 30. Bring in new blood. Try and get a head start for next year.

Good in theory yet surely our priority this season is to avoid the wooden spoon.

Didn't the NRl announce replacement players being allowed, outside of cap, to replace injured players in rep games??

They need to be out for 12 weeks for Clubs to qualify

 

[Leho]

Has there been any sort of confirmation about the injury

 

[EagleFlys]

Has there been any sort of conformation about the injury

I can conform that.

There is some sort of salary cap dispensation up to $350K, I think it was more for season ending injuries though so that a replacement can come in inside the cap.

 

[nightster]

I reckon Parker will be picked to replace Uate (if he isn't injured too).

Yea, Barrett will either pick Matt or Jono Wright to replace Uate.

Ah good point. Will be really good to see Anderson come in for him.

I have no doubt that this is to start next year.
