Alex McKinnon

[Frederick]

Not sure why my post earlier in the week about their engagement got removed
Anyways.. good to see Alex still have a sense of humor.
He popped the question on April 1st

It was removed because you had no source/proof

Is that a recent photo? Or is he just announcing it with an older one?

Old photo. He's not even out of the hospital yet...let alone standing up.

 

[Zoidberg]

Yeah that's what I thought. Bit of wishful thinking.

If there was ever motivation to walk again, walking that minx down the aisle will definitely get him there!

The intent is noted, but maybe you have never attended a wedding. It is not the groom who walks the bride down the aisle. It is usually her Dad.

The bride and groom usually walk down the aisle together after the ceremony.

Jeez, it's just a figure of speech anyway...

f**king disgusting "journalism" on the NRL site of all places

14. Knights (10)


An away trip to Townsville was always going to be tough as the Knights' emotional rollercoaster continued at breakneck speed

Pretty outrageous, I read that and didn't even notice. But pretty poor form...

Great news. Lets hope he gets better and better. I'm anxious to hear news of when he gets feeling in his legs now. Anyone have any idea time frame is it for the most amount of improvement ? I know they say 2 years but is 2 months when most of the improvement is seen ? or does it vary from person to person.?

[Joker's Wild]

Anything positive at this stage is great news. With the trauma and surgeries the swelling would still be quite significant so I wouldnt expect too much for at least the next 2-4 weeks

Nice tribute to Alex

"League officials are considering a proposal to award a medal named in honour of Alex McKinnon to the man of the match in the City-Country fixture."

Probably going to be unpopular in here, but I think it's too soon to be naming a representative medal after him. Let the bloke recover (to whatever extent that he can), and then think about it. Not yet though.

Also, he's not the first player to have a career ending injury, and won't be the last. Will we see the "Yow Yeh Medal" aswell?

Perhaps the Knights could do an internal award, or even the Man Of The Match in games between the Knights and Dragons?


In no way am I being insensitive to Alex's injury, it's bloody terrible. I just don't think a medal at this time is the way to go.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Pretty much agree. We don't even know the full extent of his injury or what his future prognosis is. The NRL is jumping the gun a bit early naming a medal after him.

 

[Burwood]

I reckon he'd feel slightly embarrassed to have a medal named after him.

I completely agree.

Yeah fair call that. I wonder if the NRL are worried about Alex suing them in the future and they are trying to butter him up as soon as they can.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Im of the cynical mind that the CRL are just trying to keep City-Country relevant...

Was really good to watch that. Feeling in his legs has got to be a good sign.
