  I tore mine about 15 years ago and was fine for ages but eventually had to get it cleaned up - as physio says all depends how big the tear is - it's not cruciate ligament which stabilises the kneee

  So looks like he will be out until next year. He's a huge loss. It lessons the Eels chances even more. Maybe J.A. could step up and fill the spot.

    Yea. Niukore and JA have the same physique. JA is definitely not built like a marathon runner

      Of course he can fill his spot doesn't matter if he's good enough or not he will get that spot

    It is my view that JA is too tall for a half. My thinking is he would make a good 13, so you may be onto something there.Marata will be missed though.

      How will he make a good 13  he has never made a ball an all tackle. He always drops to his knees to make a legs tackle his tackle technique is terrible .Jacob has always tackled like this through his juniors and always missed plenty of tackles his a tough kid but he can not tackle

  Makahesi Makatoa could be in line for a debut unless Arthur keeps Smith on bench as a utility as Cartwright you would think will come straight in.

  Though would make us very light on the bench, Maka may add some size.

    Yep, agree 100% but obviously the coach can't see that.
