Shocking news.

Shocking but not surprised, I think we originally were getting of a bit light earlier in the season but now its all spine players.

Austin is back this week but no doubt not fit, so he'll be out next week, then Sezer will come back in half cocked week after and he'll be out week after that.

Kind of brings the playing players in various positions schtick into focus now.

I've been told that Tetevano collapsed in training a couple of weeks ago and had to be rushed to hospital. He's been under going scans as you'd imagine to see why. Sounds serious hopefully he gets the all clear for his and his families sake never mind just returning to play.

Seems abit like the Corey Harawira-Naera situation when he collapsed and started having a seizer in NRL the other week.

Sezer is out for 6 weeks.

Wasn`t there someone in the NRL Trjobevic (wrong spelling) who was plagued with hamstring injuries and they found a surgeon who specialises in that sort of thing?
Hope Tetavano`s concerns get sorted.
Gannon we can cover and potentially Sezer with him only playing 1 decent game in 6.

I think South’s sent Latrell Mitchell to see the same specialist in America too.

Yea, him and Mitchell went to the same specialist. The documentaries are on YouTube. It involved them altering their running techniques.

I sadly don’t think we will see Tetevano in a Leeds shirt again with this news, hope I’m wrong mind

If they can't find a cause, which does happen with these things sometimes, I don't know how he could play again? Whether he plays again would depend on finding the cause and whether its something that can be managed or not.

They have all happened to him when extending with his upper body to get up from a tackle and the defender being on his lower legs. I don't think any have occurred during linear running. I'm sure they've worked on alternate techniques but in the heat of the game it's difficult not to revert to certain ways of moving that add the strain.

If Tetavano did collapse in training and is now heading home that really is a major concern for the bloke and his family.
In many cases you would expect him to receive treatment in the UK so to go home to be near his family doesn`t sound too good to me.
All the very best Zane and I wish you well.
Ironically probably his best season since he arrived.

We are so badly beat up now, any win will be tough. Oscar Wilde would probably say something deep and uplifting…….. but I can’t!

I’ve not looked at his coaching CV but I imagine he would do a good half time team talk.
‘Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative’. Discuss

Smith hasn’t ruled him out playing again, he’s waiting on test results

Big influence on Rohan by the sound of it
