swanns injury worse than first thought

[ozbash]

warriors coach, daniel anderson , just said that logan swann could be out for as long as 6months after a specialist had a look at his shoulder.

That is unfortunate because he is a fine footy player,but at least he is injured.Easier to accept the fallibilities of footy.
Unlike Smith who is being victimised on this particular issue.

he wont be terribly missed (unlike when he wasnt selected for the kiwis ! ).his position is pretty well covered.

smithy is being victimised by the nrl. it was an accident. if he goes under for this then wendall should go up for the injuries ritchie barnett suffered in last years anzac.

its ridiculous. if they want to charge him, he should be charged for that incident,,not his previous and certainly not because wayne bennet is squealing.

Tohave Swann and Palea'aesinagodown with season-ending injuriesis rotten luck, and means our firepowerwill bedownfor the rest of theyear.At the very least I hopetheir injuries aren't going to stuff up their pre-season preparations for next year.I'm sure I speak for all Warriors fans in saying I want to be herenext Februarydiscussing forward packdilemmas like....

Props: Tookey, Morgan, Seu Seu, Villasanti, Lauiti'iti, Palea'aesina.
Hooker:Betham, Wood, Campion.
Back rowers: Swann, Guttenbeil, Campion, Lauiti'iti, Palea'aesina.
Bench:any three of those above not already selected.

At the risk of jinxing us, if another forward goes down in the next few roundsI think we're really stuffed.We'vecut ourluxury of having 4 potential props in the 17 now,so one more 'first choicer'downandour firepowerstarts to really suffer.Swann is our forward pack'sall-rounderby being dangerous in attack as well asatopdefender, sothe pressurenow goes on Guttenbeil to fill this role. We're lucky he's started torecover some of hisold attackingform recently, as well as being up with Campo in the tackle counts.
