Howell Injured?

[Chachi]

I heard on the ABC radio (Tim Gavel) this morning that David Howell will be out for up to 2 months with a stomach/abdomen injury. Can anyone confirm this?

Is it the sort of thing that could be picked up from a trip to France? :sarcasm:

In any case, I hope Irwin is nearly ready to go, because as bad as Howell has been this year, we're starting to look really thin out wide.

This is just his way of not playing in PL.

Abdominal injury. Possibly the same as what Steve Menzies has. 2-8 weeks is the prognosis (ie, they have no f**king idea)

There goes season 07....

im confused, how should i feel about this?

i have arange of mixed emotions, from sadness that the raiders have suffered yet another injury, to glee at the fact, howell will not be back in FG in the forseeable future

Seems to me that we have a lot of players available.

Irwin, Graham, Howell and Kelly represent a pretty huge slab of our 3/4 talent (and it wasn't much to begin with) so the sooner they're on deck the better, especially flying Phil.

this gives a chance for Milne and/or Goodwin to keep their spot in first grade which i think will be good

Not to mention releasing Pamatangi and Frawley. Methinks Brad Cross could get a run sooner rather than later.

Always sad seeing someone get injured but bright side we don't see Howell for a while

I heard it was an injury to a muscle in his chest.

Irwin's out ..Something to do with a brain explosion
You won't be seeing Irwin for a while either, according to reports....

From all accounts Carney is the one with the big problem right now Pete...or is there something else you're not telling us?...
