Injury update

[kinghippo]

I still disagree a about the knee, I think Don should have been at least put on report.
The Aussie rules guys lift their knees up towards their chest, going vertical most of the time. Dons knee was low and forward, very sloppy and completely different from AFL.
Anyway I wish mansour the best in recovery

Phillips isn't a first grader

Gotta give the kid some time and see if he learns from his performance.
A lot of soft efforts from individuals today also, can't go dropping half the team.

my brother made an interesting point while watching yesterdays game.

Chrichton has played fairly solid since replacing DWZ a few weeks back and as he knew DWZ would come back from Injury, his performances were a lot better.

But with Sauce going down last week and not being back until August at earliest, did that make him complacent yesterday knowing that he potentially has a wing spot for the next few months?

The entire team looked like that excluding 2 or 3.

Did anyone else hear the channel nine team say they spoke to Griffin before the game and he said Cleary is still 6 weeks away?

He said it but it means nothing

I heard that on fox. I sure hope not. There has been a lack of info considering he should've been out of the knee brace.

In the meantime I’m favouring Wallace to 5/8, opens up attacking options at hooker.

The man himself is still saying round 10 or 11

PENRITH star Nathan Cleary is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a knee injury.
The 20-year-old has been sidelined since late March with a Grade 3 MCL tear and was pencilled in for a 10 week recovery but he’s responded to treatment better than expected.

“Hopefully about four weeks,” Cleary told Triple M Saturday NRL of his return to the field.

“Aiming for about round 11, if I’m lucky round 10.
“I’m going to have to play it week by week and hopefully start running by the end of (this) week and we’ll see how we go.

“… I got on the Alter G — that’s the gravity treadmill and had a run on that and at the end of the week get back to normal running.”
Eyeing off an early return, Cleary’s comeback will put him into contention for NSW State of Origin selection.



His Panthers teammate James Maloney is considered a walk-up start for the Blues and Cleary admits he still holds out hope of making his Origin debut in the series opener.

“I definitely have hopes,” he said.

“I’m not thinking about that too much at the moment.

“It’s getting this injury right and working my way back in the team but if it does come down the track I’d take it on and really enjoy that challenge.”

Don't rush him back, he's young, he's got his whole career ahead of him

He is being cautious Cleary said himself while commentating on GC game round 10 is his aim

The Blues halfback position is open.
Maybe he is hoping to get back to impress Freddy.

1st major injury too so should heal quicker

 

[herbert henry1908]

Labral tear & damage to the ball of the humerus. No indication on time, but sounds worse than a typical dislocation.

 

[mxlegend99]

Well Dallin will stay at fullback. Philips is straight onto his wing. Decent game from.him in reserve grade. 3 tries.

Didn't realise how solid this bloke looks.

Should he make 1st grade, he could hopefully fill in the void that Mansour has left in terms of return metres

He was unable to cement a spot in an average Bulldogs backline. But he looks a good player in reserve grade

But if Edwards and Mansour are gone for the season. Crichton and Philips are the best/only options we have.
