@ said:@ said:We need to sign another second rower pronto!
We needed another second rower in either case but we can't go in with McQueen under a cloud, Lawrence always injured and ET as edge backrowers.
We have to get a big lock for ET to play wide on the right and another edge forward as McQueen may be a bench player with this injury. Not to mention another prop as Lawrence went to the Titans, Boyle staying at GC and Vete staying at Warriors.

Passi is solid. McQueen's surgery went well, Eiso and Twal are good. With Grant taking his option I reckon we are set. Packer, Mats, ET, McQueen, Twal, Eiso, Lawrence, Grant,MCK is probably enough.
@ said:I cant shake the feeling that Chris McQueen will be our next Nick Graham.
@ said:Im really concerned that we have purchased two players who would be considered "damaged goods", we've done it before (Ballin and Idris) and we might have done it again in Reynolds and McQueen. Reynolds hammies and calf muscle tears are a sign that he is on his last legs .. have we payed WAY too much for him ??, and McQueen, wow he's had his C5, C6 vertebrae replaced, then had C6 and C7 fused together .. wow !!
I have my C4, C5, and C6 all fused together with a titanium plate and my neck hurts like hell especially in winter … I can hardly bend my neck forward or backwards with limited sideways movement, and this guy wants to play footy again .. !! My hats off to him if gets back on the field let alone see the season out. We have a lot of money tied up in these two players, hope we have done the right thing .. !!

@ said:"Even before it was announced in mid-April that McQueen would be joining the Tigers on a three-year deal from 2018 the 2014 premiership winner was talking with the Titans team doctor and specialists about the need for surgery."
So, that means it is a pre-existing injury, one which was known about (at least to McQueen) before he signed. So if it worsens, and he has to retire early, we may be forced to include his salary up till the end of 2020 in the cap.
Fingers crossed for him and us, and I hope he disclosed it to the Tigers when he signed.

Sounds like he will be back to new in a couple of months…
@ said:If as said, the original injury had been hampering him for some time, then WT may have gotten him at a good price if the surgery allows him to recapture the sort of form he is capable of.
