Injury list out

Posted by Wile E. Coyote on February 3, 2015 at 4:47pm

Dyldam Parramatta Eels halfback Chris Sandow and centre Brad Takairangi are both expected to return to the field in Round One of the 2015 NRL Telstra Premiership season following ankle injuries sustained in the NRL Auckland Nines tournament over the weekend.Takairangi was absent from Day 2 of competition in Auckland with ankle ligament damage, while Sandow sustained his own ligament damage in the Eels’ semi-final loss to the South Sydney Rabbitohs.The injury will see Sandow miss the 2015 Harvey Norman Rugby League All Stars on the Gold Coast on February 13 as he continues his recovery from injury.His teammate Will Hopoate has also been officially withdrawn from the NRL All Stars side as he rehabilitates from a groin injury that ruled him out of the Auckland Nines.Second-rower Kenny Edwards has torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and will undergo surgery in the coming weeks.Hooker Kaysa Pritchard will also have surgery for a torn pectoral muscle.

Unlucky for Edwards. He was due for a big season.
Guess that opens up the spot for Moeroa to slot into and see Wicks start in first-grade after all.

  It will be Ma'u and Moeroa to start and probably see Pauli being the beneficiary. My guess that BA will go with:
  
  11. Ma'u
  
  12. Moeroa
  
  13. Watmough
  
  14. De Gois
  
  15. Gower
  
  16. Pauli
  
  17. Lussick

Damn! So what does that mean in terms of length off the field?

Let's hope Ma'us arm holds out

Edwards Same injury as Peats 6 / 12 months. Won't play this season.

Maybe finals if we make the 8.

Will definitely be gone for at least half the season. Possibly the entire season unless we make finals.

    When was the last time those dogs won a game? Wasn't in Auckland. And it definitely wasn't against Souths in the big one. Can't even remember.

Edwards will be a big loss. He was a bit of an unsung hero for us last year.
