Made a new topic as we don't have injuries thread for 2023.

And it's not good news on the injury front.

I'm told by my source Harry Newman has re-injured his hamstring sprinting in training this week. Not sure if it's the same hamstring he was recovering from or it's his other one but either way it isn't good. Just hope it's not servere as I fear it could be a while before we see him back on the pitch.

Also not sure when this was done but Max Simpson has a knee injury fears it could be ACL so not good for him at all.

Couple of key injuries in centre but I feel we have plenty of depth in squad to cover in Macdonald, Fusitu'a, Olpherts, Martin, Roberts, Edwards.

If Newman is injured again that’s unbelievable. Lad is cursed and could have a short career. We will miss not having Zak in the squad.

If this Is true it’s Terrible news and could actually derail our season. Not to mention the poor lad himself.

If his hamstring's gone again the club need to get in touch with Manly pronto and find out how they sorted Tommy Turbo.

Cant be helped but our injury record is absolutely ridiculous, if we didnt get bad luck, we'd get none at all.

If true and Fusi does want out, would be good business to sign and NRL reserve centre……
We are already short at centre with a fit Newman!

Exactly what I was going to say. They sent him to a specialist in the states I believe. If true it's a terrible blow, but if I'm honest, one I was half expecting.

If people think getting over serious hamstring issues and ops is that simple, worthy thinking again!

Noticed two players had to leave the field with ankle injuries today sustained on the sandy end of the field. Dangerous is that.

If true then he must have injured his hamstring today

Really how many centres do you think we need?

Post match chev walker was asked if all those who are in rehab are going well (Harry's name mentioned by the journalist in particular), he said all good/on the right path and they'll play when they're ready. Now it wasn't convincing enough to put any rumours to bed but I hope so.

Phew!

I will caveat that by saying he didn't seem fully equipped to answer other questions around the first team, selection etc.

Sounds pretty reassuring if Harry’s name specifically mentioned….

Anyone know if Johnson is injured if he isn't seems strange that he hasn't featured in any of the three warm up games?

A reporter asked Rohan this specifically. Johnson had surgery on his back and is stepping up training. Seems like Rohan is a fan of his. Said he played injured last year and performed well given the injuries he played with. Thinks he'll become a good SL player

So confirmed

Bentley
Both centres
Obviously Oledzki and Hooley

All out for at least first game vs Wire.
Wouldn’t be surprised if first 3 don’t play first 3 games at least…..

More important that ops and proper rehab is done rather than have players carrying injuries for the first part of the season.

Agree. Going to be luck involved with Newman too….

Fortunately we have decent cover in all these positions.

Perhaps , but that’s a large chunk of talent to be missing to start a season ffs!

Sezar will get a ban I reckon. 2 games. Not as innocent as some are making out, yes Coote slips but Sezar jumps and swing’s somewhat, intent there.

You are allowed to swing your arm to make a tackle, there was absolute nothing Sezer could have done, if that’s a two match ban it’s ridiculous.

How can he intend to hit him in the head, how would he know he’s going to slip?

We have a large squad .Plenty of cover at prop and second row.Centre is a bit more tricky but we still have good options.
