The rumour continues: Sonny Bill out for season?

[legend]

He can't do much about it because this sort of degenerative injury has happened to a lot of elite athletes.

Terrell Davis, the leading NFL rusher at the time had a similar injury and he never came back from the injury. He was a little older and had more miles on the legs but IMO, SBW will be forced to retire if he sustains one more serious knock to the knee and at such a young age, his chances are not good.

 

[King of the Hill]

Oh well I'm sure he could go into a career in the media - such an articulate young fellow...y'know bro?

Or perhaps into politics - what a he has brain on top of those muscles!

 

[Frenzy.]

It's all karma anyway.

 

[Lego_Man]

Yeah karma....what did Sonny Bill have to do with Coffs Harbour or the salary cap rort?

Always great to see a young player's career destroyed by injury isn't it? Idiots.

 

[Booyah]

Sounds like he's damaged the chondral surface of his femur. Looks like he'll be training like Laurie Daley for the rest of his career. Massive blow for a guy who's only 20 and looks like having the footy world at his feet.

They're only saying that probably cos when sonny's good, he's good, and they are scared hehe i dunno maybe im wrong....and yes i know im gunna get an earful for saying that but meh...

Very sad news,reminds me a bit of Geoff Starling,which Im sure is well before the tiems of most punters here.....albeit to say that Starling looked like he had the workld at his feet and then he was gooooorne.....

Hate to see the same happen to one of the most naturally talented players I have ever seen.

On the upside,the Doggies are easier to beat without him,and they have spent a sh*tload of their cap on him......so.........

Dogs for the spoon

 

[northern knight]

I hope this isnt true. I dont like to see any player injured, specially for extended period. Good luck Sonny.

 

[effnic]

Holy crap is he only 20? Well as much as i love to see a team that someone like dodge the nob follows fall deep down to the spoon it is kinda sad a guy with such talent missing out.

 

[Timmah]

Dude, STFU and stop ruining topics with personal sh*t. You are more loathed than I am here so grow a brain and leave pathetic insults in TFC where they belong.

 

[effnic]

:lol: dont cry its alright

 

[Timmah]

Dude, what part of "leave it in TFC" don't you understand?

Grow up.

what about that knee injury ronaldo suffered when he was playing for Inter Milan back in 2000?

Ronaldo was out for nearly 2 years with the knee injury he suffered and made a successful comeback at the world cup by winning the dam trophy

Comparing a soccer player to a league player........really,you have to worry.

 

[Moffo]

i spoke to him today, he's alright

How do Bulldogs fans feel about their retention policy now? Let go a long time vital member of their team, a NSW 5/8 in order to retain a 19 year old backrower riddled with injury.

Their re-signings of both Mason and SBW for big money truly did puzzle me when they were struggling for depth in the halves as it was (FFS, they were playing Corey Hughes at halfback!!!)

IMHO Canterbury should have let Williams and Mason go and look at retaining Anasta and singing good quality players to cover the departures of a walking physiotherapy bill and the most over-rated under-performing player in the game. They would have had a much better squad because of it.

Are there any Bulldogs supporters out there who support Canterbury's retention policy of last year?

 

[Special K]

Williams and Mason over Anasta any day of the week!!

 

[ghoti]

Williams and Mason over Anasta any day of the week!!

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Anasta. I don't think he is all he is made out to be. I think he's a solid first grader though and as a 5/8 worth a lot more in playing value than SBW and Mason put together. Sure, they'll pull off a big run here and there, but Anasta is amuch more consistent player (as much as it hurts me to compliment the twat.)
