Manly forward George Rose will tomorrow night (Tuesday) face a further operation following the compound fracture of the right ankle suffered in last Saturday's match against the Melbourne Storm.
Manly doctor, Paul Bloomfield said the second operation was necessary to reduce the risk of infection because of the compound fracture/dislocation which took place. Rose underwent a three hour operation after midnight on Sunday morning after his fibula was fractured and the deltoid ligament was badly torn. The report from hospital today was that he is comfortable after the operation.
The popular prop, in his second season with the Sea Eagles, has been swamped by fans wishing him a successful recovery.
Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy has named an 18-man squad for this Saturday evening's top-of-the-table Round 11 clash against the Manly Sea Eagles. The game will be played at Brookvale Oval in Sydney from 5:30pm.
The Storm will welcome back five State-of-Origin players into the team who were unavailable for selection last Saturday night against the Roosters.
Matt King returns to the centres in place of Will Chambers, while Matt Geyer returns to his customary wing position with the number six jersey given back to Greg Inglis.
Brett White has been named to partner Ben Cross in the front row in the run-on side; Cam Smith replaces the impressive James Aubusson at hooker; and Antonio Kaufusi has been named to start in the backrow.
Israel Folau will start on the interchange bench while Aubusson has been named as 18th man.
Squad for Saturday's game:
Starting team: 1. Billy Slater 2. Steve Turner 3. Matt King 4. Anthony Quinn 5. Matt Geyer 6. Greg Inglis 7. Cooper Cronk 8. Brett White 9. Cam Smith 10. Ben Cross 11. Antonio Kaufusi 12. Ryan Hoffman 13. Dallas Johnson
Interchange: 14. Jeff Lima 15. Ian Donnelly 16. Jeremy Smith 17. Israel Folau 18. James Aubusson (one to be omitted)
