Storm have confirmed Xavier will miss 3 months after getting surgery for an achillies issue. That's why Storm have been trying to apply the blowtorch 🤣🤣

The Achillies is an extension of the calf muscle and as such any surgery can have consequences, 3 months is conservative if it is a tear. Someone who's game is built around speed and jumping can have all sorts of problems.
When I worked with rep teams, a winger who was out with torn Achilles said he would rather have torn his ACL instead Achilles just how the recovery and feel for the game was different between both injuries.
No stay away from this shortening of betting rubbish we still got to go down and do the job players out regardless Melbourne aren't beating themselves.

Not sure if this is the main reason but makes them more desperate.
They wanted him before the injury they needed a Centre.
IMO this is more of a reason that contenders will chime in.
Missing out on Lomax is now a HUGE blow to Storm
Plus losing Meaney so they need someone to replace him too.
Yeah he's been dealing with Achilles soreness for a while now, even before the test v England I think. Didn't go to that
Wow crazy.

LB, did you ever propose that the athlete just stick their heel in the River Styx to avoid future problems?
Coats, katoa, Learo suspended, Howarth possibly out. No Papenhausen.
Thats a fair chunk of their backline and two starting back rowers.
Eels should shorten in betting
