Hodges out for 6 months

[eagles4eva]

Massive blow for the Bronco's

 

[Gaba]

Denan Kemp would be another option with micheals in the centres fair better option then the winger folau, the broncos would need a defensive centre to protect folau

Big blow for the Bronc's, but they always seem to find someone to come through.

Gaba you have NFI. Israel will be playing center. Michaels and kemp on the same side is football suicide. Michaels + anyone = football suicide and we saw that for 6 weeks in 2009.

couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke.

well bye bye broncos, looking at the trys agaisnt folau this year he was so slow to turn around and chase, if hodges wasnt there more trys would have been through folau

The broncos are comitting league suicide putting a poor defensive and slow player in the centres, and there is no way folau will be able to defensively protect his winger if he is another poor defesive player

actuall yis good for other teams if that was the case , i hope it is so

None of the Dragqueens outside backs, with the exception of maybe Morris, come anywhere near Folau...

:lol: because the roosters backs are slow dont mean anyone else is

 

[sooperdooper]

big blow...
i really thought the broncos would sturggle this season but thought it would be up front.
This is just an injury that hurts them even more

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Be funny when he comes back if someone made a slitting gesture across their achillies.

Couldn't happen to a nicer f**kwit.

 

[aussies1st]

Well so much for the planned option of using Hodges at 1.

 

[Paullyboy]

If it is just a 6 month injury, he'll miss maybe half the season - so it's not a complete write-off. Having said that, it's a big blow because it means Michaels will almost certainly get to play now, and that alone should cost the Broncos 3-4 tries a game.

 

[Slackboy72]

So did he tear it or rupture it?
A tear and he'd be back in time for round 1 but a rupture would require surgery and even then the injury will hamper him.

 

[Johns Magic]

Couldn't happen to a nicer f**kwit.

Agreed. Sucked in Hodges.

 

[adamkungl]

Folau cant tackle and will be too slow , if folau goes into the centres ,
Bye Bye Brisbane

folau is a full time winger and nothing else

I missed this one - too slow to play Centre, but ok on the Wing?

Some real class being shown in this thread. Probably shouldn't be surprising given the quality of geniuss that lurk here.

Your username is very fitting, well done.

Ouch.

Did you think that one up by yourself? Or do you have a team of writers on hand?

 

[Parra Steve]

They've still got Tonie Caroll's number on speed dial dont they?

 

[Shorty]

I'd rarely ever agree with Frank Grimes but he's spot on.
Somebody tears their achilles and that's what some of you have to say? Really all class aren't we?
And it's one of the most painful injuries you can have, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
