Rex Bassingthwaighte signs with Sydney Roosters 4x Year Deal

[Waylander]

Out for the Ball season or the whole season?

A full shoulder reconstruction is a good 6 - 9 month recovery for a full time athlete. It's more like 9 - 12 months for Joe Bloggs off the street. I had one on October 3 last year and am still to get full range of motion back, and have only been able to commence decent strengthening exercises for the last 6 weeks. It's a really shitty operation.

Rex is out for the 2025 season - requires a full shoulder reconstruction after injuring it in a round 2 SG Ball game vs Parramatta Eels.

Lachlan Dooner was suspended after the Round 2 SG Ball game vs Parramatta Eels - not sure for how many games - missed the round 3 game vs St George Dragons.

Shit go ... hopefully the kid has a better start in 2026 !
