Manly Sea Eagles

Curtis Sironen and Kelepi Tanginoa each suffered knee injuries in the 16-point win  on Saturday night over Canberra and Manly's worst fears were confirmed on Sunday. Tanginoa and Sironen have been ruled out for the rest of the season after scans revealed serious damage. Tanginoa suffered MCL and ACL ruptures to his knee while Sironen has an ACL rupture. Fullback Tom Trbojevic has a medial ankle sprain and is likely to miss two weeks. Sea Eagles coach Trent Barrett said it was disappointing results for Tanginoa and Sironen. "Both players worked extremely hard in the pre-season and have been very good for us in the first four weeks of the competition," Barrett said. "It is a big blow to the side but we have plenty of good depth in the forwards, so we will fight on.”

The Storm have confirmed Dale Finucane will miss between a month and six weeks with a broken thumb. Nelson Asofa-Solomona left the field with a groin injury early in the first half against Cronulla but later returned towards the end of the fiery clash and finished the game.

Newcastle Knights

Tautau Moga suffered a knee injury while scoring a try in the early stages of Sunday's stoush with the Dragons in Wollongong. Knights coach Nathan Brown said it looks like Moga has torn an ACL, which would end his first season in Newcastle after the first month.

Panthers forward Isaah Yeo suffered a concussion in Thursday night's win over the Cowboys but flew back to Sydney on Friday. He pulled up OK after the game and as long as he passes the concussion protocols next week, he's a fair chance of lining up in next Sunday's game against Parramatta.
