[Freddy Fuschia 666]

As with Viney and Hibberd, expect 4 to 6.

FFS.   We really have been caught kissing the goat. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.  GO DEES !!

[hells bells 2,023]

This was flagged earlier in the week by a poster.  Can’t remember who it was.  From memory they said it was only a minor tweak.  Hopefully it’ll only be a couple of weeks as opposed to 4...

There is a positive, my hamstrings are ok at the moment. 

[640MD 2,974]

Does that mean your available for selection?

[Gorgoroth 12,351]

It’s not this week that hurts so much but next. Usually hammies aren’t a one weeker so it may go to two, then it’s a flight to WA which isn’t great for them either. Unless it’s the tinniest hammy ever I think he misses a few.

[IWAP 168]

He played out the game so it can't be that serious.

The cynical part of me thinks that that we are coming up with an excuse for resting him without appearing to be complacent against a weak side.

[Freddy Fuschia 666]

Oh, a minor strain, OK. NOt 4 to 6 ... more likely 6 - 8 then. <sarcasm meter>

[layzie 29,626]

Cannot take a damn trick. It seems the soft tissue injuries are really setting in

[dazzledavey36 49,208]

I strained my hammy earlier this year and missed 2 weeks,. If you do everything right in terms of rehab and conditioning then you can make it back in 2 weeks instead of your usual 3-4..

My biggest issue is why did they send him out again when they knew he strained earlier on...?‍♂️

Our medical team annoys me..

[Wiseblood 24,636]

If it had to happen, I'd rather it now than in a few weeks time. 

Rest up Milkshake. Time to unleash AVB!

A hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer, and the best cold beer is VANDEN.

We have been told all year that if they have the slightest niggle, they go to the rehab group. Funny how that continually proves to be an untrue piece of information. 

[Cards13 9,117]

Yeap, not sure he will be back under 4 weeks. Can’t wait for the review into training side of things. 

[MudDogs Gawn Win.. someday 499]

Get Vanders back in!!

It's difficult to go into rehab in the middle of a match which if we lost it would likely mean we miss the 8.  A judgement might have been made that what you have been told all year (really?) is out of date.

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,386]

Dangerfield missed 2 weeks (the week after JLT and round 1 this year) with a very minor strain so I''m using that as a guide. So he'll surely miss the crucial Sydney game which is a pity.

Unless Smiley Misson is bull crapping about it only being 'minor', expect him back for round 22 V's WCE.

[tilly18 277]

Out 1, maybe 2.

So lets risk a player injury to try and make finals?

No thanks! We tried that with Jack Viney and it backfired terribly. Hes lucky he didn't tear his hamstring!

Should have put him on ice when they first alerted the problem.
