OT Widdop Career over

[cb4]

I always thought Matt McGann would be the prodigy. I would love him on our books.

 

[Frenzy.]

Ross Conlon had a dislocated hip as well. They all come back generally. It's a big deal but no longer career ending unless the avascular necrosis occurs.

There's also degrees and types like everything else. The way Widdop did his is the biggest concern. Full force injury up alopng the length of his femur. Hope he doesn't have a central dislocation because then he will be phuqued. That's when the head of the femur smashes through the acetablum (socket). It's generally an MVA injury.

Interesting to watch the progress. Would love to see the X-Rays

Haha, I thought the same thing.

Probably had a ct I reckon. Straight in to check anterior or posterior position.

The 3D recons would be nice. .... If I did it.

Same discussion last night with people in the know, they all thought it was probably/potentially career ending as well.

Throw a list of players up who have had it.Ill start
Setimata Sa. Was on fire net super star. Shocking dislocation at Carrara . Never seen again.
Chris Lawrence. 18 year old centre scoring trys at will . Played for Australia?

Sa is still going

going average in the UK. Big drop from the hopes helf for him & the way he was playing when it happened. i.e. NRL career ending.

Widdop is not as bad as first thought. They are saying out for 12 weeks, all going well could be ready to play in the finals.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Setaimata Sa played in the 2008 WC for NZ. Not bad for a bloke who was never seen again.

That was pretty much the first thing I thought of after it happened.

Sad, sad, little Snorkie.

Hopefully you can win a final this year.

My wooden spoon predictor says that the steelers are faarrkkin lucky that parra are so ordinary.

Widdop was a good buy for them , and i was looking forward to seeing him instead of Cochese and his rain dance.
