Great, no injury to Keary!

[King Salvo]

It sounds like it was a torn tricep tendon of some description—partial or full tear? - Going down the non-surgical route first, as if surgery were required, the recovery time would be up to 6 months, which would be season-ending.

Getting short on outside backs - Fetalaiga Pauga is the last available outside back in the top 30 squad - Lewis Murphy and Alex Young are on development contracts - Lewis missed last weeks NSW Cup Game and not selected in NSW Cup this week either - Alex is playing Ron Massey Cup.

Coach Robinson said that Luke Keary "rolled" his ankle and was hobbling but it's not mentioned in this medical update.

Roosters only have 27 players signed for the top 30 squad - 4 players on development contracts - Lewis Murphy , Alex Young , Ethan Roberts and Xavier Va'a


Sydney Roosters Casualty Ward 2024 - 9 players(8 injured and 1 serving a suspension) - 3 could be back in round 9 - Sitili , Radley and Sandon Smith - Spencer Leniu back round 10.

Can add some nsw cup non contracted players to this too

Napa

a big list
lets hope sandon smith, rads and sitili back next week

[ism22]

Sitili to centre maybe (he's done alright there before hasn't he?)

Tupou's still no certainty hey? Robbo said he's sore and wanted to play but got instructed not to and is touch and go.

Pauga seems to have lost form too? Shame as for a while he was showing great signs.

Do you know what their injuries are and how long they are out for ?

Billy Smith had surgery on his ankle injury

[Big Dog]

Great, no injury to Keary!

He copped a knee to the head from Sloan as he scored his try. I was a little concerned so good news. Should have been placed on report.

[Carlos Parra]

I think he faced 2 charges (for hits on Walker and Keary) and has copped 2 fines.

[ConGa]

when is Billy's back? We're short in centre

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Great news regarding Kez

[King Salvo]

Lewis Murphy played NSW Cup today.

Hugo Savala was apparently pulled from the game and is on standby for NRL.

Radley and Sandon Smith will have to pass fitness tests, and Keary, although not listed in the post-game medical report, has an ankle injury, as Coach Robinson alluded to; he rolled his ankle and was hobbling after the game.

So one assumes Keary may also be in doubt for the Broncos game.
