Anyone got any info on him injury wise. I heard medical retirement mentioned. Damn I hope not, and I hope the person that suggested it had a big night prior. Which is highly likely.

Strange.

I have been told that everything went well. I know someone that would know. I won't go further.

Every time I asked, it was very positive.

I love that bloke, he oozes effort, reminds me of a young Liam martin,

Edit: sorry was talking about the wrong tom,
Gilbert was who I was thinking about, how's he going?

Should be ready for a round 1 return. He is back into contact training.

Dolphins have been so patient
He’s on big money and they never considered medically retiring him yet

One of the best props in the game prior to his injury. He along with Farnworth were massive signings for 2024.

They'd look a much better side with Flegler and Saifiti starting.

He might never recover to be able to play again or if he does be a shadow of his past form

If they medically retired him insurance covers the payout and he’s taking up a lot of salary cap space

He is 25 years old at 100 games. Prior to his injury one of the best props in the game. You give a guy like that a chance at recovery.

Its only been 1 year as well. 6th April 2024 his injury occurred. Medical retirement will be easy to achieve if he doesn't make it back.

Dolphins are crazy not medically retiring him

It’s a huge part of their salary cap

If he doesn’t make it bald this off season then they have to cut him loose

May end up like Simon Dwyer ( Wests Tigers) player

In 2011, Dwyer made his representative debut, playing for City Origin and scoring a try.[9] He was also chosen to participate in a NSW developmental squad.[10] Unfortunately, halfway through the season, Dwyer suffered a brachial plexus injury in a match against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, which saw him unable to play for the rest of the season.[11] Some months later, full feeling had not returned to his right hand, and there was serious doubt as to whether he would be able to play again.[12] Dwyer was de-registered by Wests Tigers and there was hope he would re-sign with them if he made a full recovery.[13]

Dwyer underwent surgery at the Royal North Shore Hospital, with nerves redirected from his diaphragm and scapula into his right shoulder and arm. As of 2012, the operation was deemed a success, and Dwyer hoped to return to rugby league in the future.[14] Since the nerve redirection surgery and subsequent rehabilitation, it had become apparent that Dwyer will not regain functionality in his right arm. While he will not return to the football field, Dwyer does not allow his ailment to stop his positivity and drive to succeed in other areas of his life.
