There were grave fears Jarome Luai would miss the rest of the season after he dislocated his shoulder on Thursday night. But the Panthers No.6 said there was “no way” his campaign was over.
Penrith’s hopes of a premiership three-peat have received a significant boost with five-eighth Jarome Luai eyeing a return from a dislocated shoulder in time for the preliminary finals.
“I feel good. It’s not too sore. People are asking me how I slept and if I got any sleep at all. I think I got eight hours, so I think that’s a good sign.”Jarome Luai leaves the field with a dislocated shoulder.has been told Luai’s injury is similar to the one Nathan Cleary suffered in the second game of the 2021 State of Origin series. The halfback delayed surgery to make his comeback six weeks later, culminating in a grand final win over the Rabbitohs.
The labrum – cartilage that surrounds the shoulder socket – will require surgery at some point. However, the aim will be to strengthen the muscles around the socket to reduce the chances of subluxation when he returns. By the end of week three, Luai will begin controlled contact work, ensuring that he doesn’t extend his arms. The key to his hopes of making an effective comeback is stability.
