According to Aaron Bower, Guardian, we might be without Grìx for up to 3 months as he might need shoulder surgery. Apparently more will be known on Monday.

as we are only going for a top 8 spot now I don't think it is such a bad thing
yes a do think its a great loss, any player injured for such a long time is obviously going to effect the team, Max better get his finger now as he's not kick on as what I would of expected

Of course it’s a great loss for heavens sake! What if Jowitt gets injured then we are in bother. You’re entitled to an opinion on which player you’d pick but you’d have to be an absolute wally not to want both available.

Things like this happen in sport and if true it will give Jowitt the chance he wants, but to say is it a great loss, are you for real or what?, what happens if Max picks up a serious injury what then, I'm sure it would be better for the club to have Jowitt keep his place on merit than because there's no other alternative.

This is what our antipodean friend doesn’t get. One off injuries are something all teams must deal with but sometimes especially in key positions you get a domino effect.
Scenario for BOD - Fine Jowitt takes over but then he gets injured so Hampshire gets the gig. Then Miller gets crocked so Hampshire replaces him and Chester backs young Hooley but he turns out not to be ready just yet and bang we are in trouble just when we didn’t want to be!
I don’t know how it works in the NRL but in SL that scenario can play out in less than 2 games and can ruin a season.
Injuries imho are never good even if occasionally they un-earth the odd gem. I actually shocked that anyone would feel otherwise I personally hope Grix gets sorted ASAP.
