Emasculated Manu

[SIBARITE]

Roly - that's not true - his recent long lay off was due to his pubic bone becoming inflamed. It has settled down now, but is very hard to diagnose....

But it is true, he has a condition called 'Gilmore's Groin'.

This is too much like the script of a "Carry on" film. "Infamy, Infamy, They'v all got it in for me"

Stated on RL after the match that Manu is likely to be out for up to 2 months.

Club not wishing to rush him back, no tear or recurrence, just some discomfort and tightness around the old injury/surgery site.

Seriously concerning news for Manu and the club, I so wish that he can fully recover from this persistent injury. We need him back fit, it's a crying shame, he is such an exciting and exceptional attacking weapon.

Sounds like the club are sensibly protecting an asset. Its not a groin tear but a tightening which may be around scar tissue from his ops.

Spoke to 'someone in the know ' - some days he wakes up and it's sore; other days he feels good. Difficult to know how to treat it for the best. Said with what appeared to be an air of resignation. Not encouraging.

Looking through Gilmore's eyes .....it doesn't look good.

I love Manu, and on his day is very special, but I do wonder if maybe we need to move on. I don't want to be unfairly impatient, but I think we need a centre that can be more reliable.

It is sad and very frustrating. And doubtless Manu feels more frustrated than anyone.

Taits dilemma took time and hes been well rehabilitated.

That's true - and provides a glimmer of hope. He's doing no weights - just speed work and work to keep his weight right so...fingers very crossed.

How does Tait's time out compare to Manu, bearing in mind Manu has already been out for a fifteen month stretch?

I hope he recovers soon, and gets back to his best in time for the end of the season.

its the same injury and Tait missed about 2 years

According to this Merc article

It was 13 months out injured.

This is a major worry for us going forward...We are so light on centres and yet one of our big money marquee centres is likely to miss most of this year and given previous probably most of this season with sporadic failed comebacks then lay offs...Yes we can all sight Tait as an example of this injury being rehabilitated but Tait's game isn't based around huge impacts he actually tries to avoid them...

In my land of fairytales I am thinking that this they are just being really precautionary, he will be back in 6 weeks. And because we have been so loyal to him and looked after him, he will want to stay with us for the rest of his career and will be very indebted to us.

And then I woke up....

Surprised by some of the comments on this thread. Manu has a contract. I expect that he will recover full fitness in the not too distant future and play out his remaining contract and hopefully sign an extension. If he fails to regain fitness then his contract is unlikely to be extended but in the meantime he is ours, he will go nowhere and we are committed to pay him until the end of his contract.
