Trent had a ligament removed? Pretty sure that didn't happen lol. He had stem cell surgery to repair cartlidge as the joint was bone on bone. Woods and Burgess have also had the same surgery. Jmoz is the one that doesn't have his PCL in his knees anymore.From what I've heard, it's all rehab / physio to get back range of movement, and it wasn't like a damaged ligament or anything.
If it's the same surgery Hodkinson have, from memory they remove ones of the ligaments.

That's the one!.. That's why I said "IF" and "From memory", as I wasn't 100% on that.Trent had a ligament removed? Pretty sure that didn't happen lol.

Has he had any training at all during the off season ?He has not trained yet,will most likely miss first month.
So realistically what fullbacks did we miss out on apart from all the wishing and hoping that went on in here?It's a little sad how excited we are about Abbey when he's still at least a season away from regular fg.
How we've managed to not lure a decent specialist fb is beyond me, our club, coach, and facilities should have players lining up at the door.
I hope hoppa is our answer this year, I can't see Brett Morris being able to handle the physicality of the position week in week out, especially with an origin series to prepare for.
realistically we should have signed inglis, tedesco, milford, morgan, slater, tuivasa-sheck, dugan, moylan, munster, coote all at the same time just to give the team some optionsSo realistically what fullbacks did we miss out on apart from all the wishing and hoping that went on in here?
And don't say RTS was never an option
I agree Inglis, Dugan, Tedesco and Coote may of been options at some time (though when Inglis pulled out of Brisbane we were grooming Barba). Coote was an option most people probz said hell no to cause of his injury concerns. So really only Dugan we fluffed up badly with. Arguable Tedesco too, although he ended up not leaving his club either.realistically we should have signed inglis, tedesco, milford, morgan, slater, tuivasa-sheck, dugan, moylan, munster, coote all at the same time just to give the team some options
Well there were plenty of options available over the last few years...but the club decided to sign Fifita and the those brothers on big money and even then they still didn't come hahaharealistically we should have signed inglis, tedesco, milford, morgan, slater, tuivasa-sheck, dugan, moylan, munster, coote all at the same time just to give the team some options

Not really. Milford wanted to go back to Brisbane.
RTS wanted to go back to NZ.
Slater hasn't left Storm. Neither has Munster (though word is we did try two times)
Moylan hasn't left Panthers.
Who? Not having a go just curious. The only FB i can remember was Hoffman.Well there were plenty of options available over the last few years...but the club decided to sign Fifita and the those brothers on big money and even then they still didn't come hahaha
