Mulitalo has a double as the Sharks extend their lead I got the news that it was pretty bad and I gave my Mum a call. I was pretty upset, the one-time Samoan international said. That first month was probably the toughest bit. I was challenged mentally and had those little battles but everything else was sweet. We were trying to look for a surgery time and everything, so I just had kind of given up, like, f -, this is it .
As Mulitalo explained it, there was something with a divot in my knee where the cartilage is a bit chipped off. What they needed to do was drill a couple of holes in there to bleed it and create another little cartilage bit to help my knee so it wasn t bone-on-bone action.
Canberra lock Ryan Sutton s second try in as many matches was dedicated to his mother in England and her late cousin John, who passed away before Saturday night’s 20-4 win over Gold Coast.
Sutton, who had scored his first try in three seasons with the Raiders in the previous week’s 34-31 loss to the Warriors, crossed late in the match at Netstrata Jubilee Oval and pointed to strapping on his wrist bearing John’s name. To get over the line was special and I dedicated that one to my mum, and my family back home, Sutton said. She lost her cousin the other day to cancer and that was for him.
Titans coach Justin Holbrook was heartened by the many chances his team created in a 20-4 loss to the Raiders but felt they learned a lesson in execution.
Holbrook conceded he should ve replaced halfback Jamal Fogarty earlier than the 52nd minute after he copped an early quadriceps cork but is hopeful he will face Newcastle next week.
The Gold Coast also lost winger Anthony Don to a seemingly serious second-half hip injury at Netstrata Jubilee Oval but Holbrook couldn t confirm the severity. When you lose a halfback and a winger and you re chasing points, it makes it very hard to win, Holbrook said without blaming those casualties for the defeat.
