Johns' Knee Gone

[mickdo]

Andrew Johns has blown his knee out in the Parra game...

 

[madunit]

Cruciate ligament tear in his right knee, looks like he will miss the season

 

[Choppies]

poor Joey

 

[mickdo]

poor NSW! :x

this should pave way for Gower to get the #7 for nsw

 

[steaming stormer]

Unfortunately, this could be the end of Joey I fear. After the worry about the neck and the consideration of retirement, I think this could well be where he pulls the pin. I hope not, and I hope the scans come back with a different prognosis, for the sake of the game!! With all the crap it is going through at the moment, players like Joey are crucial to keep the fans going through the gates

 

[eternaltreblinka]

A huge shame, but please don't roll him out on the Footy Show on crutches yet again!

Or Orford...

Orford.

 

[Dragon Fanatic]

Thats it for Joey, i reckon. But no matter what Kimmorley will play 7 for NSW.

 

[t-ba]

Orford.

 

[Matt23]

Anyone but Kimmorley, maybe Sherwin or Wing.

David Seage has done the same thing as John now too.

 

[skeepe]

Not a good day for halfbacks, first Firman breaks his leg then Johns does his knee. I hope Sheppard and McLinden are careful up in Townsville tonight!

David Seage has done the same thing as John now too.

I bet they won't blame the ground, like they blamed the injuries at Suncorp. :?

 

[Alan Shore]

As much as I've had a bit against Joey in the past, it'd be a damn shame to see him retire. He's an all-time great and we need him for the sake of bringing the fans in.

 

[Matt23]

Who said anything about retiring, that might be a little premature.

 

[ledzep]

looks like my prediction that newcastle wont make the eight will eventuate

 

[Matt23]

Thats a little premature as well :roll:

 

[skeepe]

It's complete carnage out there...Tahu has just limped off the field
