Wigan's Miski out for two months
Wigan Warriors winger Abbas Miski is set to miss the next two months of the season after having surgery on a his knee.The 29-year-old has been playing with the injury for the past month as the Warriors opted to delay his operation.The Lebanon international has made six appearances this season, including most recently during the Magic Weekend win against Warrington Wolves."He's been flying and playing really well but he's been playing through incredible pain and struggling to get around in between games," boss Matt Peet said."It's the right thing to do to get this procedure done and it means we should get a better version of him coming in for the back end of the year."Peet said that Wigan have sufficient cover behind Miski and will cope with his absence leading into the summer."With Jacob Douglas or Zach Eckersley we've got a bit of depth there and Josh Cartwright has done a good job out on loan and Nathan Lowe is back healthy as well," he said."We can't complain. We're in good shape but Abbas will certainly be missed."

Manly NRL club threatens to BAN fans from games over shocking viral video taken after match
Manly Sea Eagles CEO Tony Mestrov has threatened to ban footy fans who take part in the dangerous 'run it straight' social media craze after a shocking video surfaced of fans colliding with each other after a game on Saturday. The club will also beef up security for home matches following a series of spectators - some fuelled by alcohol - boldly deciding to take on the challenge following the clash against the Broncos on May 31. Those involved ramped up the danger by using the iconic hill behind the ground on Sydney's northern beaches to speed up the action and increase the force of the collisions. One participant was filmed chugging a beer before roaring and charging down the hill, only to be ironed out by another participant wearing a Sea Eagles jersey. The 'Run It Straight' trend involves people charging directly at each other to mimic a rugby-style collision. 'It's crazy that people will do this type of thing when they know how dangerous and potentially life-threatening it is,' Mestrov told Fairfax. 'We will ensure our security is more vigilant in patrolling this outside zone after full-time, at all future home games. 'Any spectators who breach our rules by engaging in this type of behaviour will be banned. Full stop. As a club, we will continue to make the match day experience that is safe and enjoyable for all.' Sea Eagles prop Nathan Brown also condemned the behaviour. 'It's pretty dangerous, and I wouldn't recommend anyone doing that,' he said. 'I've seen some of the videos. It's not fun, and only bad things can happen. Hopefully, it stops. My advice is to cut it out and ban it.' The Run It Straight trend quickly gained popularity on social media with official competitions popping up in Sydney and in New Zealand - but has drawn criticism for its dangerous nature. The trend turned deadly last week after New Zealand teenager Ryan Satterthwaite tragically lost his life attempting the challenge. He sustained a serious head injury during an impromptu game with friends and passed away in hospital on May 26. His death has prompted widespread warnings from health experts and authorities about the dangers involved by engaging in such behaviour. But some footy supporters in Australia are still seemingly prepared to risk their lives for cheap laughs online. 'Glad to see we've learnt from the poor blokes passing in New Zealand last week,' one viewer posted, tongue firmly in cheek. 'Would love to know how many ended up at northern beaches hospital,' posted another. 'Intelligence below the charts,' added another. Despite the obvious dangers, the warnings and the death of Satterthwaite, the video still attracted plenty of attention from people loving the trend. 'My son was there. He loved it,' one viewer posted with a series of laughing emojis. 'It's called fun. You need to leave the indoors more,' another fired back at a commentator pointing out Satterthwaite's death. 'I'm not opposed to this,' posted another. It comes after former dual-code footy star Sonny Bill Williams had to back away from comments he made online that appeared to endorse the trend. Williams shared footage from his playing days with the Bulldogs, colliding with Penrith's Joel Clinton in 2004 with the video captioned 'old school what a hit'. He added: 'Playing run it straight before it was called run it straight.' Williams later apologised after learning about Satterthwaite's death. 'I put a video up, and I just want to ask for forgiveness of the young fulla that passed away,' Williams said on his social media account. 'Please excuse me for my insensitivity. I did not know that had happened. 'I want to talk about it for a second right now. 'I've been asked to collab with the Run it Straight people, or a couple of people and I haven't. 'Simply because I wouldn't put my kids in it. 'I have safety concerns and that's just my thoughts on it.' Several 'Run It Straight' events in South Auckland were cancelled due to safety concerns and lack of permits following the teenager's death. The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board raised concerns over concussion risks and unregulated contact. One event at Williams Park was scrapped after organisers failed to book the venue or seek council approval. Organisers instead held a meet-and-greet at Sylvia Park following the death of Satterthwaite.

Chelsea willing to sell England star and £52m flop as part of Blues fire sale with Enzo Maresca keen to refresh squad ahead of Champions League return
Chelsea are understood to be open to offers for Noni Madueke. The England winger joined from PSV Eindhoven in 2023 and scored 11 goals in all competitions last season but the club are willing to sacrifice him alongside Christopher Nkunku and João Félix, who is a target for Benfica, as they look to freshen up their attacking options this summer. They remain in contact with Eintracht Frankfurt for Hugo Ekitike but his price tag of £84m is prohibitive at this stage. Madueke was a regular started for manager Enzo Maresca last season — making 32 Premier League appearances — but he did not always stay in his manager's good books. In August, after Madueke scored in the Conference League win over Servette, Maresca told the 23-year-old England international that he must train better. Then, in December, Madueke's levels again dropped in training and so Maresca retaliated by dropping him to the bench for their game against Aston Villa. He had started their last 11 Premier League matches but was a substitute for that victory, once more told by his boss that coasting through sessions at Cobham will not be tolerated. Later that month, the forward was dropped for the matchday completely for their Boxing Day defeat by Fulham, a game in which Maresca named two goalkeepers on his bench as if to prove a point. Nkunku stayed at Stamford Bridge after a deal for the French forward to join Bayern Munich in January fell through. Nkunku arrived from RB Leipzig in 2023 for £52.7m in 2023 and scored 14 goals last season but only three in the league. He has been tried in a variety of attacking roles but has failed to impress. Felix, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Milan, first joined Chelsea in 2023 on loan before later joining Barcelona only to move back to the Blues in a permanent £45m deal. But by February, he had fallen out of favour with Maresca and joined AC Milan on loan managing just three goals in 21 games.
