Round 21 Injury Wrap-up
Our resident rugby league injury expert, the NRL Physio is back with a wrap-up of the injuries and recoveries after Round 21.
Cameron Munster
Cameron Munster has been ruled out of this weekend’s clash with the Cowboys with low grade high ankle sprain. It can be one to four weeks recovery as he returns to play but Storm seem confident he won’t miss much footy.
Angus Crichton
Great news for CEOs! Angus Crichton is confident to play out season. His foot wasn’t sore after last game and he’s no longer wearing a boot. Still one to watch due to nature of injury but Coach Maguire seems set on playing him out for the rest of the season.
Dylan Walker
Dylan Walker has a foot injury with bone bruising after being stood on. This is a good example of a boot being precaution to help it settle. He is fit to play this week.
.
Nathan Brown
Nathan Brown trained and will play after a nasty head knock last week.
.
Boyd Cordner and Tohu Harris
Boyd Cordner (knee) and Tohu Harris (shoulder) were both not named to play this week and it is still unclear on their return dates. There is almost no info at all on Harris which is a concern for CEOs leading into finals.
Brett Morris
Brett Morris missed last week’s game with a fever, but has recovered well and is fit for selection this week.
Matt Moylan
Matt Moylan ran for first time today since re-aggravating hamstring strain. How he pulls up big indicator for availability this week.
.
Corey Oates
Corey Oates trained on the wing today for the Broncos and is likely to return this week. Great news in his recovery from a staph infection.

Karl Lawton
