The Big Red Machine

[brooksy19]

According to the repuatable source that is Bryce Gibbs' facebook status, Big Keith is gone for the Season.. WTF, Isn't it a foot injury ?

Brooksy,

I would accept a ride with Ivan Milat before I believed a word of Gibbo's posts.

Notorious liar, just to stir the pot.

But that rumour has been going around about the big Ranga, if we are any hope of sneaking into the 8 we need him.

 

[TrigaTheTiger]

I love big Keith, but to be honest, we have been doing OK without him lately.......

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Not the first time I've heard that, but considering the latest source, wonder if it's a bluff and we see a surprise in the number 19 jersey on Monday?

It was first announced as a 6-week injury. It's 12 weeks now.

Every week they just add on another week to the comeback day. Pathetic.

I don't understand what you think is pathetic - are you thinking the injury itself is a hoax or that the club is deliberately keeping fans in the dark about the progress of his recovery???

 

[chopsy_05]

Heard from a good source today that he is a good chance for Monday night. The fact Gibbs posted that probably confirms this info!

God I hope so, the big fella ripping into those poofs... I'm getting wood.

The club has deliberately kept fans in the dark.

Four weeks ago Sheens was on WTV and said KG would be back the next week. Here we are and still not named, each week they just push back the date.

how about the fact that a 6 week injury was turned into a 12 week one? or that he was put back into a game and cause further damage to his knee? we've had it happen to players on too many occasions where a player comes back in double the time they were meant to for it to be just a coincidence. payten and ohara last year, fatz in 06, benji and collis on countless times, the list goes on really

 

[madunit]

Big League has Heighington due back in Round 24, Galloway Round 22, Halatau Round 24, and Tagive and Lazarus out for the season.

We've listed an unchanged line up, Collis is 18th man

 

[madunit]

Dane Laurie is also listed at prop for Wests (Can't recall whether he played for the last 2 weeks or not thought)

 

[b.bear]

Look i know he's only been back for 2 games but keith must have lost about a metre in pace since his layoff very slow like gus says he has got to be the slowest player in the comp besides jarryd hickey and NQ prop forget his name anyway lets hope he gets up to speed with the game in the next few weeks

 

[Reek_Havoc]

NQ prop forget his name

..Tronc..

Sauce will come good..made some pretty good metres yestdee..

tronc thanks for that...i havnt given up on the BRM just hoping he finds the form he had earlier in the year.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

2 games back after a 12 week layoff due to a leg injury and he looks a bit slow? No sh*t......

 

[DanOz]

Keith will be fine, it's just a matter of how long will it take.

 

[b.bear]

2 games back after a 12 week layoff due to a leg injury and he looks a bit slow? No sh*t......

yeah well how long did he take to find the form he showed earlier in the year ...a year or 2 ?

You've got to be kidding.

You're comparing the time a very young prop took to develop into a consistent first grade footballer to returning from a 12 week injury lay-off.

 

[tiger_nick]

kg will be fine. it was a pretty bad injury he has come back from. he isnt nearly at his best yet but im confident he will be come finals time
