Oake is back, Shack not far behind

While I doubt he'll come into contention this week, due to lack of fitness, according to the Eels website Brendan Oake is back this week after breaking his thumb. Given Ben Smith's suspension is for two weeks I'm sure Oakey will come back into contention next week. Also some good news on the Shack. "Shane Shackleton has participated in regular training sessions with the NRL squad and is close to playing again. A game with Wentworthville in the NSW Cup will be his first step towards a return to the field." Grothe also back at training http://www.parraeels.com.au/default.aspx?s=newsdisplay&id=28990&rd-23-parramatta-eels-injury-update

  • The Oak can come back as long as Anthony Mitchell isn't squeezed out on his account.
  • :D
    GREAT NEWS ALL AROUND!
  • This is a blog made in Tinkerbell heaven Phil!

    :-) :-)

    Awesome news all round.

    I may go to Wenty to welcome Shack back baby!
  • Do u think da will want to use shack this season if we lose Friday night?? I wouldn't risk it, in case he gets injured again!!
  • Superb news, Oake will be perfect replacement for Benny
  • Great news on all counts.
    Hopefully we can see Oake, Shack and the Guru all in the first-grade side ASAP.
  • Everyone rates shack really I think he is a little overrated was he
     that good at the roosters not sure why everyones hoping that he will come back waste of space send him back to roosters .
  • Shack was the best player for Roosters in 2010, hopefully he will re-capture his 2009, otherwise we are screwed IMO.
    • He plays for us in 2010...

      From all accounts he trained the house down in the off season and the 22 mins he played for us were quality.

      With his operation, we shouldn't be too concerned about re-injury. The way they do it, that part of the hammy is actually stronger than it is naturally.

"I doubt that LB, Galvin is on a pittance this year and we are already more than halfway through the contract year. With the players we have lost this year we would have more than enough to cover what would be less than $100k for Galvin for the rest…"
