Whatever the case was with how his injury was going, the Manly staff were nuts getting him back this week when they have a bye next week, especially when Wright has been solid enough and they were versing the Knights.

Agreed

Milford six weeks, but just a comment from Bennett.  Scans today.

Nikorima started in the halves with Milford against the Rabbitohs, putting in a solid performance that included a try assist and 113 kick metres.

Career highlight    Take a screenshot for posterity. I got to 7th once and didn't. Very regretful.

461/7 with McInnes,Graham,Brown,James,Tolo,JDB,SJ,BJ,Hayne and RTS left to play

Madge said at the press conference that teh Reynolds/Sutton combo will stay for the remainder of the season with Cody at the back.

Was going to trade Whitehead for Harris/Finucane next week for bye purposes but I dont think I want either of them the way they are scoring. Harris averaging around 40 at 454k, Finucane averaging 41 at 387k was a much better option until he pumped out a massive 16 points in 55 minutes. Might just suck it up and upgrade Whitehead in 18/19

I think JBrom might still be worth a look at. He was scoring good in his first stint but it was one of those games where none of the Storm players got many points in the second half. Smith only got 18 points in the whole second half.

I'm with you booze, Walker attempting to hold up the ball when Moga crossed the line forced the error and should have been given a TS. He did get the other on Moga by the looks.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, the ruling was Moga had knocked the ball on. They don't give try saves for those situations. Yeah, they probably should though.

Pretty average start to the round with Sione moving to centre and also producing a mud score but that's to be expected from him every second week really. Going to pay if I don't get Surgess back, so i think I'll need to next week.

Sipi!!! Welcome to the forum mate

I was thinking do I hold now. Probably not after last nights performance

I'm not mate. Benji replacing Niko last night shows that Bennett is still not sure on the best combo for the team. I'd have Hunt and Benji myself and leave Niko on the bench. Not sure what happened with Kodi last night, his defense was terrible too from what I saw. I think that drop ball at the start fucked him.

There were post game comments where they said it wasn't dislocated and something else too medical for my drunk brain at that hour ( but the post game sheds vision showed him without a sling which supports this). But considering he misses 2 weeks anyway with byes, it may be only a week or 2 you hold him for

Wouldn't be surprised if he's back next round.

Talking about dropping balls George was back at it again last night. Bombed an almost certain try because he couldn't maintain possession.

Subluxation. That's what Parker was trying to say whilst commentating, except he kept saying "it's what's called a sublax". No Corey, that's just what you call it...

A subluxation is like a precursor to a full dislocation. The joint starts to move out of position but doesn't completely dislocate, which means there is normally less tendon/ligament/joint capsule damage. Which in turn means a much quicker recovery generally.

Worst part about subluxation is it can lead to future dislocations if the shoulder is properly stabilized

Exactly. Future dislocations can happen a lot easier too if not careful, and more frequent. The more it happens, the looser the joint gets. If he has issues after recovery, surgery is usually on the cards. The angle he landed was perfect for a subluxation.

I think the good news for Milf is it was the way he landed, not an inherent issue with his shoulder anatomy to begin with. Although from memory he has done a shoulder before? Or was it knee?

I woudnnt expect to see milford back until round 20. He would only miss 3 games for us then against storm raiders and knights.
