RLWC 2017 INJURY WATCH

[adamkungl]

Who wouldn't abuse drug testers though lol, the highway patrol of sports officials.

 

[jim_57]

So he got banned, Catalans appealed and it was overturned now it has been overturned again and Catalans are appealing again.. What a circus!

 

[adamkungl]

I assume it's a long step back to the next French FB

 

[jim_57]

So the FFRXIII threatens legal action against the anti-doping body for their unsubstantiated claims that there is a massice drugs problem in Rugby League (in an article about a Union player/s from memory). Then Gigot gets "re-banned". Not typically in to conspiracy theories but jeez..

 

[adamkungl]

Sounds like a proper beat up. 2 years for no positive tests

 

[Coastbloke]

According to NRL.Com, Nth QLD's Ray Thomson has signalled his intention to retire at the end of the 2017 NRL season due to knee injuries but says he will still put his hand up for PNG selection..If he's got a persistant injury should he be picked?

Sam Burgess just left field for ribs in game against Bulldogs. Third week in a row he has played with suspect ribs.

 

[Coastbloke]

Souffs unlikely to play Finals football and WC about 3 weeks after GF.
Thinking that Burgess's biggest problem in playing at the WC isn't ribs but the worst obstacle for a player wanting to play Internationals. Club and Coach..

 

[roughyedspud]

Apparently it's Sam that wants to play...thing is if it's just a niggle and nothing serious then he's gonna have a good 6 weeks between south's last game and englands warm up so it's plenty of time to rest up..

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Aitken gone for Scotland.

 

[mikail-eagle]

Alex Johnston is probably gone for the season too. He gets injured 2 weeks after making himself available for PNG.

 

[roughyedspud]

He's only done his hamstring,he'll be fine for the world cup

 

[adamkungl]

Bennett, England coach, rules out Milford from playing for either Samoa or Australia.

Only in Rugby League.

What a wanker

Only in Rugby League.

What a wanker

3-6 month recovery is a long time, understandable he's getting surgery immediately after his club campaign is over.

A shoulder reconstruction is nothing to mess with, one wrong hit and he's f**ked as it stands.

3-6 month recovery is a long time, understandable he's getting surgery immediately after his club campaign is over.

A shoulder reconstruction is nothing to mess with, one wrong hit and he's f**ked as it stands.

Logic dictates that he should have it done asap then.

 

[some11]

And lose their best player after finishing top four? not gonna happen.

Benji would be a decent fill-in though.

 

[Burns]

Gee, isn't that Milford struggling tonight?

 

[Burns]

So Matt Moylan should be out then?
