Did Darren Lockyer injure his vocal chords playing rugby and is he completely mad? (proposing to play on w/e). Someone who is familiar with this code pls assist.

    He injured his throat a few years back and didn't get it fixed for some reason.

    No doubt those rugby blokes are tough as nails. They don't seem to feel pain like normal people. Possibly because they've had all the sense punched out of them.

    A captain wanting to lead his team to a premiership in his final year despite injury isn't mad. Ballsy, passionate, short-sighted maybe... but not mad.

    Hopefully the Broncos smash Manly.

    It's possibly his last game before retirement and he intends to go out playing regardless of having a fractured cheek bone. His throat was a legacy of an injury early in his League (never call it Rugby) career. He is tough and he is not stupid.... just extremely dedicated. Hats of to him... I wish we had one or two more like him - I put Jones in that category after his desire to retake the field following his back/neck injury at the end of season 2010.

    Apparently he can get it fixed (or attempt it) but won't bother until he finished playing.

    Is he mad this week? Well that depends on the potential for his injury to get worse and in particular any potential damage to his eye or into something else like a sinus. The plates are strong so maybe it's a minimal risk.

    I'm not a surgeon or a radiologist so I can't answer that.

    It is apparently a 6 week recovery injury, so despite plates he has a real risk of blindness (due to optic nerve injury) if he cops a blow on same spot

    In 6 weeks the inflammation and swelling would be reduced

    Again only what I've read

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
