Injury update

[Kilkenny]

A friend of mine is a physio for an NRL team. I remember him telling me that there would be at least 1 knee and 1 shoulder reco per annum on average in both first and reserve grade so 4 season enders. That doesn’t include all the other injuries. Some times teams are just blessed/cursed (in our case) with outlier seasons.

I agree for the most part injuries are just back luck and misfortune.

Seriously, we should go after BUPA or HCF. Penrith stadium could be called BUPA Stadium.

Please,no more vomitron induced naming rights for Penrith Park.

Ben Ikin's side contained Dylan Edwards but I didn't hear him say he checked about his availability with the club. I wasn't listening closely so he could have said it. I would be surprised given the initial diagnosis and club statements which were pretty clear at the time he would not return until 2019. Fire of a tweet to Gus and he will no doubt address the issue.

Didn't watch NRL360. But last year Edwards was supposed to be out for 3-4 weeks with his injury leading into the finals and missed only 1 game.

So it's not unprecedented for him to return much earlier thsn first predicted.

Gus has confirmed on twitter Edwards will not play again this year.

Disappointing but not unexpected.

A bruised foot could be a one week injury and he's the game against Sharks off.

Watched them put 70 on the Warriors one game. Crichton was bench prop they were that much better than the rest

Impressive.

Don't miss the Maloney news I posted either. 5 days and assess could be a close call for the Broncos game.

I saw that but wouldn't be any training with the team. Better to miss that game

We’ve got depth at 5/8th - hell peachey if we are desperate- gives Maloney a well earned rest

I agree. We've seen how much better we are with a full week.

In consecutive weeks they put 70+ points on and then Cleary was called into first grade. I think the score was 74-10 two weeks running.

So what everyone is saying is that we are starting to unleash the beast.
