I know that ruptured achilles is a dreaded injury in the NFL, especially at running back.

Try not to pretend you know a thing about medical practice, you muppet.

Low blood flow to tendons (and ligaments) means they take 6-9 months to be back to 100%. Not 6 weeks like muscles can.
All the load from the calf muscles contraction goes through it.
Hope for the best, fear for the worst.
Another loss and he can have 4-5 months rest.

Haha no I know, I stand by my comment...I can't imagine SJ is anywhere near full fitness. Of course there's a medical team who know more than me, and are seeing more than I'm seeing. I'm just surprised, hearing him on his podcast and knowing Achilles injuries are no easy matter.

Not taking $800K from the Roosters for next year and letting Chad f**king Townsend take the money instead will have to go down as an all time dumb decision. If we pay Shaun more than a pie and a big bottle of Lion Red a game next year we are kidding ourselves.

SJ doesn't like premierships, eh? Lol Roosters are so hot now dumb is an understatement.

I'd have to disagree on that, at least the first part. Shaun has a young family, his wife plays (semi) professionally netball-wise in NZ, at the time he turned down the contract he would have thought a premiership wasn't out of the question here, is he going to uplift his family for a season or two when they've already had a season apart during COVID? He's got his podcast going now, I imagine other business interests...there's more to life than 800k. Yeah, he's more likely to win a premiership at the Roosters, but he's made it clear he's a passionate Warrior.

I wouldn't disagree with the last part.
