Official Dale Finucane

I thought Vaughan had the perfect opportunity to showcase his resume last week but ended up halting their comeback with his dumb 'Sharkslike' attempt at passing the football.

Sounds like he knew who he was trying to impress

Yeh maybe it's like a secret handshake!

 

[The Punisher]

Any idea on expected return date?

 

[Sir Chadley]

Any idea on expected return date?

Round 16/17.

 

[Mr Ryan]

Any idea on expected return date?

The week after the rep round

It's behind a paywall so can't see it, but seems Riccio reporting he'll be back this week

Will love to see him back but we also need to get 4 years out of him...

It's knee ligament though, and not a 'major' one, it's either good or it isn't.
Can't imagine we'd rush it back for this game.

Concussions are his issue more then anything

Concussions are his issue more then anything

For sure
As far as we know (other than guessing and assumption) he is not out due to anything to do with concussion though.

Certainly if he has any current concussion symptoms they definitely shouldn't play him, but they can't hold him out of games when healthy just in case.

Technically from what we know yet to miss a game this season due to concussion.
Passed first test but was pulled by doctor, second time I don't think we got told the result and not sure they even did one as knee was bigger concern.

I don't wanna screw the guys brain up but I also don't want to speculate around it being worse or more of a concern than I have any evidence for.

He's still a week away is what I've heard

He's still a week away is what I've heard

Find out soon!

 

[BurgoShark]

I've heard he's going to be named in the squad this week

 

[Flanno]

Having this guy back will be a huge boost. He brings so much to the team. Please don’t let him run off the kick offs though!

 

[sharks2010]

Fitzy has been supple cautious all year, wouldn't be naming him or playing him if he isn't ready considering our opposition the next 2 week's

 

[Great_White_Shark]

I honestly reckon we rest him this week and even next week against the dogs, no need to rush him, bring him back for the Storm game

 

[BrickMan]

He might want a crack at making the origin squad and is pushing Fitz to let him play

 

[vicsharkfan]

As long as he has ticked off all the protocol with his head knock and his knee. Some limited minutes against lesser opposition to get his mojo confidence and timing back may be just what he/we need. But pls no kick returns for a few games. We are missing his starch in the middle

If he doesn't play this week, we've got 2 weeks before the next game (with the rep round bye).

If he's fit, throw him in off the bench.

Can’t see it, long odds to be even in the mix, NSW won’t make a change unless injury.

For all the people screaming for the Fox to play both Tupou & To’o we’re more than ok,

I can’t see us making any changes unless injury, S Crichton for Staggs?

Form wise, Sims possibly for Crichton?
I dunno why Matterson is supposedly on the outer, he played bugger all minutes & to put a line through him has me scratching my head he’s now drop worthy.
