Ray Stone - Ankle (Rd16)
Reed Mahoney - Shoulder (Rd18)
Wreimu Greig - Ankle syndesmosis (TBA)
Nate Roache - Knee Bruising (TBA)
So looks like Mahoney will not be available for Penrith which is a massive loss because he has stepped up alot against big teams. His kicking game has been instrumental for eels gaining momentum and field position.
I expect Greig to be out for a while because sydesmosis is generally 6-8 weeks.
Good to see Roache only has knee brusing and not a serious knee injury as feared. I think BA will be worried playing Roache for a while given his history. I doubt we will see him again this year because once he is fit, BA will probably want him to play a few NSW Cup games first. I hope I am wrong as we all can see his potential.
Stone may play against Penrith given his line speed and ability to cover dummy half.

Mahoney keeps saying he's fit for Penrith. So I don't know in that regard.
Bad news for Greig with needing surgery.
Good news for Roache regarding bruising. Hopefully no instability in the joint when the swelling subsides so he'll be good to go.
Better not to rush Mahoney back. Keep him until after second bye and for the finals run
Probably best to give mahoney extra rest. Lussick can cover for now, I just hope maybe Will Smith is on the bench to offer us cover.
