Injury Update: Gilbert, Saifiti gone for season; Plath awaits fate

Injuries continue to test the Dolphins’ depth after the confirmation that Max Plath has a serious knee injury.

All this conflicting info. For now it looks like Saifiti is confirmed out for the season. Flegler also won't be back this season. But there is a slim hope for Plath.

The Dolphins have suffered another crippling blow with marquee recruit Daniel Saifiti ruled out for the rest of the season. Former NSW Origin prop Saifiti will undergo shoulder surgery this week and faces four to five months on the sidelines in a further setback for the Dolphins in their bid to make the finals.

The Dolphins have already lost Tom Flegler and Tom Gilbert to injury and the scratching of Saifiti is another blow to Redcliffe’s forward stocks ahead of Saturday’s clash against the Cowboys. Saifiti injured his shoulder in round 8 against the Raiders. Dolphins medicos have tried to rehab the injury but have decided on season-ending surgery.

Meanwhile, utility forward Max Plath will see a specialist amid fears he needs a knee reconstruction.

If you read the article is says that Plath has been or is going to have an op.

Saifiti, the article says has an MCL, then later in the article suggests he needs a shoulder recon.

Maybe I read it wrong, however its seems online news can make its mind up.

Funny thing is Flegler online news was always off the mark, from what I was being told.

But not this year?

But not this year?

I will ask him. However, it looks next to year.

The contention had always been whether he would play again. And that looks highly likely.

Roster spots left: 0​

Health check: E​

Thomas Flegler (shoulder , TBC), Daniel Saifiti (shoulder, season), Max Plath (knee, TBC), Tim Gilbert (shoulder, season)

Who they need to sign: ​

The Dolphins have been decimated by long-term injuries in the forward pack to Flegler, Saifiti, Plath and Gilbert. They could do with some reinforcements. They could create some room by allowing winger Junior Tupou to leave and bringing in the likes of Royce Hunt (pictured) to add starch to their forward pack.

This is false, isn't it? Gilbert has a pec problem, specifically a partial tear, and will be back in the last couple of rounds of the regular season.

There was an article the other day from the club where they stated that Gilbert is gone for the year.

Kaufusi suspended for two matches. That'll further test the depth.

Grade 3 V’Landys now wants to peg the Dolphins back

Woolf last week addressed Sua injury situation and said Bromwich is 2 weeks away. I hope Allen is placed on dev deal until season end they still have 2 dev spots left. Allen out performed Jackson and Rasmussen yesterday.
