Emergency Department – Round 8

Dragons 1015 winger Daniel Tupou is expected to miss around eight weeks with an ankle syndesmosis injury.

Tupou underwent surgery last week after being hurt in a close 16 point loss to Papatoetoe Piranhas.

This setback comes on top of the serious injury already suffered by John Bateman (shoulder – indefinite)

Avengers coach Jo said Boyd Cordner “would’ve passed the HIA protocols” needed to face the Dragons on Thursday but it was decided he needs a to let his body rest “because his body is wrecked, no f*&king good for me then”.

Meanwhile, the Dingoes have confirmed that lock Adam Elliott won’t play again this year due to a shoulder injury that requires surgery.

Tests revealed Elliott needs a shoulder reconstruction after having earlier suffered a dislocation.

On Wednesday, the Dingoes reported Elliott was facing a five-to-six month recovery period, while halfback Mitch Moses’s return from a calf strain has been pushed back.

Grubs five-eighth Cameron Munster could return from an MCL injury against the 2Great4U on Saturday two weeks ahead of schedule.

“I think Eddie[Munster] should be right for this week which is pretty insane,” Josh said on Monday. “He’s one of those guys that just heals up so well. Wink”

In terrible news for the Rosebery Rampage, forward Sia Soliola is facing longer stints on the sideline than initially expected.

Soliola, who suffered a facial fracture in the game, is expected to undergo surgery this week with a time frame of 12-16 weeks placed on his recovery.

Balmain Tigers have confirmed back-rower Luciano Leilua will be ready to face the Arks after being cleared of lasting damage from a head knock.

Tigers fullback Matt Moylan is expected to miss 4-6 weeks after scans showed he suffered a grade-two hamstring tear against the Avengers on Saturday.

The talented No.1 missed 7 games last year with soft-tissue injuries and has played only one match in 2020.

Noah’s Arks winger Brian To’o will miss up to two months after scans revealed he suffered a grade-three syndesmosis injury against the 2Great4U.
