Carnage as Round 7 ended with many injuries occuring, with potential long term injuries at the much maligned Edmound Thornton Reserve .
Dingoes fullback/centre Will Hopoate had surgery on Monday and will be sidelined for 6-8 weeks after he suffered a high-grade syndesmosis injury against arch rivals the Grubs.
Halfback Mitchell Moses left the field with a calf injury during the first half of the weekend’s clash with Grubs and is expected to miss 2-3 weeks.
More bad news was confirmed for Dingoes with Victor Radley suffering a torn ACL against the Grubs. The club said the young firebrand would see a surgeon on Monday and begin rehab and recovery.
Dingoes coach Dazza told FCFL 180 on Monday night that scans had shown scar tissue from a previous injury.
2Great4U firebrand Corey Horsburgh will be sidelined for at least three months after scans confirmed a Lisfranc injury to his foot.
He will under go surgery this week and is likely to be out for the remainder of the 2020 FCFL season, with a late finals appearance a slight chance for the rising middle forward.
Rosebery Joseph Tapine remains a chance to return from a knee injury in what could be a significant boost in the forwards for the struggling Rampage.
Balmain halfback George Williams suffered a broken nose in Saturday’s loss to Papatoetoe but insists he won’t miss any action. The Englishman laughed that he won’t run the ball too often against the Avengers this weekend due to the injury.
The Grubs confirmed on Monday that captain and five-eighth Cameron Munster had suffered a grade two medial tear and would be sidelined for 3-4 weeks.
In some much-needed good news, Dragons prop Matt Lodge should be fit to play the Piranhas on the weekend. He has been cleared of a leg injury after being caught in an awkward position in last week’s game against the Rampage.
