Ex-Eels Injury news

[Hurriflatch]

Apparently Patty Richards went off with a very bad knee injury. He was carried off and their was an ambulance at the ground after the game.

 

[Hollywood Jesus]

poor old Patty.

Seriously hope the young fella is ok

 

[Jake the snake]

Great buy for the Tigers, has simon says shown his head yet?

 

[half]

well on one hand it's good cos we can tell all those tigers fans "told you so"

but then again, he did get injured and that's never good

by god i hate these moral dilemmas

 

[Suzie]

Apparently it's worse than a buggered knee- he's broken his leg according to radio reports this morning

 

[Twizzle]

Poor guy.

He has fought back from injury and bulked up. Thats a lot of hard work.

This will not do much for his confidence, as when he returned from his previous leg injury, he seemed to lack the confidence to run hard at his opponent.

You have to feel for the guy. He is a Parra junior.

 

[Glenn]

Disappointing news for Patty, hope it doesnt turn out to be another Dave Woods scenario
Hopefully he will be back on the field soon

 

[The Worm]

If this is true, Patty can say goodbye to his league career.

Bad Luck - He's a good young fella. This must be an incredible disappointment for him.

I feel sorry for him as a person cause u don't like to see anyone hurt like that buuuuuuuutttttttttt sucked in to the tigers they can have the World sevens title cause as we all know it means jack. Wests Tigers will finish in the bottom 3 this year simply because they have no depth.

Where as parra has great depth with Fu Fu Moi Moi , Wade Mckinnon, Corey pearson, Wise Katavawhatever sure to be top signings

 

[bartman]

As much as I feel for Richards and his propensity for injury, in defence of our signings vs Wests fans prior braggings, you'd have to say at least all of ours will be on the playing field come round one?

Some of Wests injury prone signings were bound to be $$$$ :arrow: drain.

 

[JessEel]

buggered knee, snapped leg, or dislocated ankle?? i've heard all three!! :roll:


Poor Poor Patty, he was just getting back to form after his knee injury with us, and now he's gone and done it again, i hope for his sake he can get back on the park ASAP

 

[carlnz]

Typical eel fans, just because you lost the sevens now you are claiming it isent worth jack?!?! Tigers will finish higher than the eels this year...even North Queensland will make the eight.

 

[bartman]

I still think 7s is worth the same as it always has been. A good thing to win at the start of the season, but as we have unfortunately found out, it's not a prediction of where your team will end up at the end of the year.

Mate, I hope Wests, Cowboys and Parra all make the 8, but we'll need some of the more fancied teams to drop through the pack. If I was a betting man I'd still say Parra is the best chance of the three at this stage, but I'm looking forward to seeing us go around against the Tigers this Sunday...

:lol: you just lost a trial to Souths! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Your glass must always be half empty I would presume, Worm.

Depending on the injury, and the common thread I've heard reported today is dislocated ankle, he could be back by May.

Every player that runs on the park from u6's to 1st grade risks injury, the fact some get injured more than others is just bad luck.

How many times did Big Mal break his arm??? 3 or 4 if memory serves me correct....was he injury prone?

 

[queanbeyhole hindy fan]

Poor Patty
I was hoping for him to have a good year this year, it certainly hasn't started off as a good one.

 

[Redback71]

you just lost a trail to Souths

#-o

dont you mean trial ;-)

 

[Fraggles]

According to Sports Tonight on Sunday Patty snaped his leg and will be out for out to 3 months.

Bad luck Patty here is to a speedy recovery.

 

[Paranoid]

Tigers will finish higher than the eels this year...

Yep, higher in points and tries conceded.

Delusion seems to be a prerequisite for tiger's supporters.
