suspected broken leg.


great

I heard ankle, but it's not good either way.

I think Head should be back next week so we could be in for a bit of a re-shuffle...

 

[gregstar]

it's a merkin - that's what it is.

i can't think of a more valuable player for us.

it's dreadful.

 

[NikkiShark]

not very good wither way.
hope he's okay..

 

[Willow]

Terrible news. Our most consistent player. Hopefully the suspected break doesn't turn into confirmed break.

It's a knee.

Sadly, not long after clinching the win for his side, Young was sandwiched between Darren Albert and former Dragon Lance Thompson, leaving the star player with a season ending knee injury

I was simply devestated when he went down. Body language telegraphed a serious injury. I'm still not quite over it. Talk about your bittersweet victories!

Young injury blow for Dragons
St George Illawarra's National Rugby League premiership hopes have been dealt a blow, with second-rower Dean Young ruled out for the rest of the season this morning.

Young will require a knee reconstruction after tearing ligaments in his knee during last night's 14-point win over Cronulla.

There had earlier been fears that he had broken his leg.

The Dragons' 18-4 victory in difficult conditions condemned the Sharks to their ninth straight defeat.

But star centre Mark Gasnier told Fox Sports the injury to Young had cast a cloud over the team's celebrations.

"I feel for Deano - he sort of holds our team together with the high workrate he has and a lot of the little things that go unnoticed," he said.

The win put the Dragons into fifth spot on the ladder, two points clear of Parramatta and Brisbane - who face off this afternoon - and the Canberra Raiders.

"Grade 3 Medial Ligament Tear" according to folks at WORL.

i dunno about your team leaguefan, i dont know if they will play Head if he isnt 100%, i think Naiqama and Morris have done enough to keep their places ahead of Best. It is a mighty blow losing Dean Young, glad Timmins is fit though as he brings something to the team

Surely you jest !! Is Wes injured ?? Colin Best, piss off !!!:x

A knowing grin appears on my face whenever I hear commentators say "you can't win grand finals without players like Dean Young". That grin is now a grimace.

Head has a good record against Easts. Fitness pending, he should be named tomorrow.

Surely we've seen the Best of Colin. Go Wes young man!

 

[The Dodger]

suspected broken leg.

talk about bad timing...

 

[petetheileet]

best wont get back in...id liked to see Hornby perhaps named at hooker...as hes been floating around there recently anyways with head back in the side as a replacement for young...goz on the bench and timmo back at 13

maybe ring Ndaira into the side so he can see how big a mistake he is making joining those fools and he may b able to weasle outa his contract!
