I just can't believe it. We've had no luck since 2014



callmack mate no no no no wrong.......we are using turner and tyrrell and clark far more times in the run on side since 2014 just the loss of mcqueen and especially teo has sunk us in the forwards dept from 2014,buying grant and stewart was a joke and losing nathan brown was a big loss in my view!!!!!just ask r20 and sstid they know i am right...by using these 3 dud forwards with lots of playing time for this year and since 2014 we were doomed and my mate said this many many a time but many on here either cant see it or just dont want to believe the true facts....Shadow...

It is going to take me a while to get over this news. Some of you might think i'm over reacting but it's true. I'm really down in the dumps now, worst possible news.

Inglis f**ks his knee and it's Tyrell, Turner and Clarks fault, obviously.
It's like a f**king broken record.

It's no one's fault. An injury like that is purely bad luck. That's what makes it so hard.

Yeah I understand that but obviously others don't which is why every topic devolves in to bagging the same GF winners.

Just watch the supercars, the Giz or Scotty Mac might cheer you up.

I feel your pain 100%.

Unfortunately GI was building up to this!

He's been carrying chronic knee & hip problems for a few years now.

Having a dickie hip affects your knees & vice-versa as one sub-consciously favours one or the other.

His seriously heavy workload for Aust., SOO & topped off by his load with Sths has hastened his demise.

We've seen GI's light slowly fading over the past season & we must face the fact that he'll never be the scintillating player he once was due to injuries & age!

It's a bloody bummer but we have Burns to take over & prove he has the mettle to do the job.

GI has mentored this kid for a couple of years now so he's in a posse to pass on valuable stuff to Burns!!

AJ is better suited to the wing.

Sam's welfare is a worry too,IMO & he needs to be nurtured to a degree-----I don't think he can bash himself for 80 mins week in & week out & survive---we need George,Tom & the others to step up!! Tom & George are big boys & should be tough & intimidating,but alas,they are of the cream-puff persuasion!!!

What's annoying is that I don't know what he was doing up there trying to tackle the opposition fullback, he should have been dropping back.

Greg Inglis' injury was purely unfortunate; it had nothing to do with his workload or his existing injury problems. What occurred could have happened to anyone of the 26 players on the field at the time. I also don't buy the fact that his star is starting to fade; how is it that he managed to perform magnificently on the biggest stage i.e. for the Kangaroos, Queensland and All-Stars? The people who say Greg Inglis will never be the same need to realize that Greg Inglis was never lightening quick or a side stepper to begin with; mobility was never his thing. Inglis' biggest attribute was his strength and his ability to beat people one on one. So I don't think he is done and dusted at all.

As for Inglis' replacement, I'd be very hesitant about throwing a rookie into the fullback position; Alex Johnston at least has experience in that position and has played well there before. I'd be giving him first crack at the fullback spot and bringing Braidon Burns on the wing.

s9BPRAVHC-E -----GI never quick--please observe the video!! Please note the commentators saying nobody ever catches him!
AJ has proven beyond doubt he is a better winger than FB! I would keep him there.

Unfortunate injury????? Have you noticed that GI has been clutching at his knee on a regular basis for the past season or two???
His knee has been problematic for some time now!! It didn't just happen out of the blue or really come as a shock!!
In nearly all those video highlights above he has a knee strapped--I take it;to protect a weakened knee!
