Gee this guy is too injury prone and reports on the NRL website indicate he is having major problems and at the earliest won't be back until after the middle of the season.

Anyone know how long we have him signed up for? Should we just cut him loose altogether?

hell no - the bloke had one of the most sickening broken legs you're likely to see on a footy field.  He was realistically never going to be back until later in the year IMO.  I'd be hoping we have him signed up at least for next year too, and then see how he comes back from the leg
Storming our way to glory!

He'll be sweet eventually.

Take a look at George Rose' form last year to ease your concern.

That`s a bit of a surprise. When I went to the Forum I spoke to a couple of the guys later and asked how Sika was going. They reckoned everything was sweet and were telling us that he had not long before had a rod taken out of his leg and the surgeons had given him the OK to return about Rd4. I hope that he can get it right. Watching Sika charge the line certainly gets the blood going ;D

One of the better players over the past few years definately should not let him go.

I never saw the break, or have any recollection of what game it was, but I do remember George Rose getting snapped. If it was worst than that then I'm not here.

I really have to say that the only way that Boofa played at that kick from Orford was if he cracked a fat.

He broke,(SNAPPED) both the Tibia & Fibula

Which is why he's now having big problems with the ankle & knee.
He'll be back & just a good If he's allowed to heal properly.

Definitely keep him, on song he's one of the most damaging ball runners in the world.
