Where's confirmation Tevaga is out for 2 weeks? He came back on with the ankle injury since it happened in the first half and then was forced off with it with 15 to go.

No confirmation yet just nrl physio analysis of possible high ankle sprain

No confirmation yet but I fully expect it to be and of course he'll lose the starting gig.
Didn't he came on and off for his HIA, and then injure his ankle with 15 to go??
My bad can't read

A bloke in the pub called him Tebunga. Thats his name in my head from now on.

Injuries are random and extremely unlucky - you can never make a trade decision based on the likelihood of a player getting injured
He was a very good trade-in with the stats to back him up
He could've easily got 65 points last night and made everybody who didn't get look dumb - that's the beauty of hindsight
I personally think he's a hold if only out for two weeks, especially if you have decent cover

Just read that in last round the only reason Jazz came off the field was to restrap his ankle.
This round he seemed to only be off the field for the HIA and then having to come off because he wasn't coping on his ankle.
Leads me to believe the intention is for him to be the 80min lock the Warriors need.
Is anyone thinking of (or capable of) holding him for 2 weeks?
I'm not sure I'd want him this season given his recent history with his ankle injury.
In the future though, there's every chance Kearney ACTUALLY will use him as an 80min lock and he could be an elite level gun.

NRLPHYSIO said Tevaga injured his ankle in the tackle where he got smashed by 3 players (which resulted in a HIA), so he came off for the HIA with 8 minutes to go in the first half. He started the second half then came off with 15 to go (succumbing to the ankle injury apparently).
Just have to wait and see the diagnosis really.

I agree. He is clearly the Warriors most important forward in terms of defence. He would have played big minutes last night if he didn't get so unlucky. Two weeks in a row though he's had injury concerns so that's a worry.

In all seriousness, I disagree with the sentiment.
For those of us who have been playing the game several years, we've been burnt by players multiple times and have them on our "never again" lists. There's a reason Mitch Aubusson is known as the black widow.
Josh Dugan, Justin Hodges - had keeper level averages in the 40s but would drop out several times a season.
You have to factor in players with injury history because they ARE more likely to be reinjured.

Have to assume it's the same ankle he's been having issues with since earlier in the year.

Also, if someone was looking for a POD in the WFB position, Maumalo is looking like a solid option.
Averaging 47 in his last nine games and 45 in last 5. (should've had that extra try and been more!)

I don't think the Tevaga hill is one to die on mate.
Getting a 65 against a weak Knights team wouldn't have made anyone look dumb, especially if their 17 is already strong and targeting 1 or 2 final guns after origin.
He was a long way off getting a 65 anyway.
He would've needed to average 50 with an extra game to outscore proven guns and that would be a best case scenario if starting LK every week, which wasn't a guarantee compared to all the guns who have their positions locked down.
I thought about him for SC, mainly because of price and I wouldn't need him in the 17 beyond this week, but went with Twal for reliability. Tevaga missed a few games last year and again this year (Rd 8 and 13) and picked up the injury last week, so he is looking prone to niggles.

Not yet, but we were discussing his recent injury history this year in regards to whether people should trade him in or not.
You made the blanket statement that "you can never make a trade decision based on the likelihood of a player getting injured"
I refuted that. I'm not saying Tevaga is anywhere near Dugan in terms of his injury history but yes, injury history comes into it and you clearly agree that Dugan is one of the players where it has to come into consideration.

I meant starting LK for every game is a best case scenario, didn't really phrase that clearly, but even if he averaged above 50, it wouldn't be by much.
He averaged 46.3 last year playing the same minutes as he is currently.
Even taking away the 2 injured games this year he's averaging 48.4
Just because he was promoted to start, doesn't mean he'll get more minutes by default. Guys like Murray and Arrow only play in the 60 min range too. Jake and formerly JFH were the only LKs getting bigger minutes from memory
