FS - Suli back injury, out "indefinite"

[Mr Invisible]

Anyone know more about this??

Article talking about injuries from the trial matches and mentioned:

BULLDOGS
Moses Suli (Back, Indefinite)

Maybe he wasn't "sent home from training", but rather pulled his back?

As someone who can get lower back twinges could fully understand it.

He didn't even play a trial and is still recovering from ankle surgery.

Yeah I know that, but then again Sandor Earl is listed in the article and he didn't either.

It's a list of all injuries for clubs (Kas is listed too).

Indefinite just means there is not set return time - that has at least been given to Fox.

He has stress fractures in his back, honestly not looking good for someone with a work ethic like his. Then again it's completely understandable to see a young player lack motivation because of injuries, i went through a similar thing. But then again i wasn't earning a ridiculous salary..

Jumpin the gun a bit early with a heading gone for season... I thought it was known that he would be out at least 8 weeks into the season when we signed him?

 

[GrogDog]

Pretty sure the original articles (signing news) said he was already injured.

How did he get those when he already has been out with an ankle injury?

If it is a stress fracture its a little contradictory to the bad attitude/training storyline that keeps getting thrown up, given that stress fractures are an overuse injury

I believe he had the back issue for a while. From memory he got his big NRL contract before he could even complete a game of 20's due to his back.

Yeh he only played two games of 20’s then straight into first grade the following year

I still don’t know what they were thinking playing him at the time.

Thought he is on 90K?

$90k this year, fuck ton the 2 following years.. provided he lasts that long.. which I doubt

Well i highly think this suli won't last by the halfway season this year

 

[CrittaMagic69]

This year yh...not last year or next season though.

 

[Freakzilla]

I read he is back between rounds 7-9 so they have him as indefinite because they don't know exactly which round. With his work ethic it'll probably be round 10-12.

 

[Bulldog_4_Life]

I'd honestly just make him sit until rd 15 this season even if he recovers earlier, that way he can just focus on getting his body right and our staff get the chance to work out any bad habits he has and change them, then let him play ISP for a few weeks and if he goes alright give him a taste of first grade either to cover any injuries or even off the bench, that way he gets a little taste of first grade and would hopefully make him hungrier going into the next off season to prove himself.

Some would say that its too much effort to put into a player that hasn't proved anything at the top level, but when you have a genuine game changer in your hands you have to do whatever you can to bring the best out of him.

Club should release a video of where everyone is at with rehab. They did on a weekly basis last year

Mis-diagnosis maybe????
