Taukeiaho has a badly broken rib

[fletch]

From Robbo in the press conference apparently the location of the break made it dangerous to return sounds like a decent stint on the sidelines for him.

[RoosterBoi]

I cant even describe the sadness that im feeling with injuries right now? What did we do to cop so many?

[TheLoneRooster]

And the hits just keep on coming. The Roosters showed character tonight, which they had to do because they made so many errors and missed some 40 odd tackles. Anzac Day will be another test for the remaining fit players.

Best now is that there is no expectations on the team other than to beat teams like dogs,cows, tigers.

[mightyrooster]

I knew we’d come away with more injuries as is always the case against the grubby Storm. We’re under some sort of injury curse at them moment.

[IRoosterManI]

We have had an “injury crisis” since winning in 2019.. haven’t seen anything like it.

[Vasco]

So we'll have no SST, JWH or Radley against the Steelers.

Marvellous.

[RoosterFanNZ]

was the 2019 grand final the last time we fielded a full strength team?

[King Salvo]

Saying rib fracture 3 to 5 weeks- dangerous to come back on potential for organ damage.

[Bahrain Rooster]

Absolutely gutted. He’s a massive loss.

[mightyrooster]

Yeah make that we’re under some sort of injury curse since that devastating game in 2020.

[ROC181]

Why do we come off having to go to hospital after playing the Storm?
In the last 3 games, NOW, thats 10 players or more that have had to spend weeks off after sustaining injuries playing them...meanwhile at Melbourne, I'm still waiting for at least one. Even Pappenhuyzen and BSmith looked injured, but they still kept going, and will mostly be back next week. Maybe it's a conspiracy by the NRL to ensure we get injured playing them.

[RoosterBoi]

Assuming BMoz, JWH, TKO and Rads don't play next wk, only 20 out of our top 30 are available for selection for the Dragons game..

[stephenj]

i expect b moz will play ? even though sited victor served a penalty of 10 minutes on the sideline! dont know about jwh is tko on report as well? now i know why we had 5rthat ref 2 weeks running!

[Renman]

Kuntfusi got a shot on him as 3rd player in... even the commentators (on Fox) said so. NRL really need to look at third man in with force like that... cheap shot.

Can anyone tell me why they have stopped penalising flops? They want to speed the game up yet let extra tacklers come in after the held call.
