It was a crucial call with scores locked at 22-all with the Sea Eagles set to have a penalty kick from in front with eight minutes to go that would have kept their finals hopes alive.“Scans have confirmed Garrick suffered a fractured transverse process in his back after landing heavily in the second half,” the club statement said.
“Garrick remains in doubt for the Bulldogs game on Sunday and the last home game against the Wests Tigers on September 1.” The Daily Telegraph reports the injury typically takes six weeks to heal. Garrick, however, is keen to play and is expected to be named in the Sea Eagles side for Round 26.The tackle left Manly coach Anthony Seibold fuming but Head of football Graham Annesley said on Monday he didn’t think the tackle was dangerous enough to warrant a penalty. This was despite another NRL official reportedly telling the Sea Eagles that they thought the contact warranted further action.
“It’s a subjective decision. He lands on his back. There are players who are tackled and land on their back in a whole range of situations, or land awkwardly,” Annesley said.“ can get injured in legitimate tackles, so you have to look at this particular situation and look at the circumstances. Was there any lack of care taken by Nicoll-Klokstad? I don’t think there was.”
