Sea Eagles' Lodge has bicep surgery, Croker sidelined with neck injury. Tough players ready to return.
In breaking news from the Sea Eagles camp, it has been revealed that star player Matthew Lodge has gone under the knife for a bicep repair.
The tough forward is expected to make a triumphant return to the field in 12 weeks, ready to smash through the opposition like a freight train.
Unfortunately, Lachlan Croker has been sidelined with a neck injury stemming from a concussion suffered in round 9 against Canberra.
As they say in the sport, sometimes you have to take a hit to come back stronger.
