Scans confirmed a grade 2 MCL sprain for Roosters forward Naufahu Whyte. No expected recovery time provided by the Roosters, though most injuries of this nature see a return in 4-6 weeks
Sam Walkerโs knee still โisnโt rightโ as he continues ACL sprain rehab. Not a surgical candidate at this stage, just not able to perform top end movements for a player who relies on explosive change of direction. Obviously wonโt play Rd 20 & return date a week to week proposition
James Tedesco wonโt back up for the Roosters this weekend (via @MartinJGabor). Thankfully not injury related - a planned rest by the Roosters. Joey Manu to play fullback
For the Roosters:
- Sitili Tupouniua is expected to miss the rest of the season with news he requires surgery on a bulging disc in his neck
- Angus Crichton likely to miss multiple weeks with a suspected MCL sprain, said to be โlooseโ in his knee = often at least a partial tear
Scans have cleared Luke Keary of a jaw fracture & thereโs a chance he plays in Rd 17 (via @BuzzRothfield). Will still undergo further assessment - considerations with the plate he has in his jaw from previous fracture (has it come loose/minor surgery to fix?). But good early news
Initial reports of a possible fractured jaw for Luke Keary. If confirmed usual recovery time of 4-8 weeks pending nature of fracture (multiple fracture sites? surgery required?). Considering Kearyโs history also some heightened concern for concussion - hope heโs OK
