No, but I don't think there is a sinister plot behind them changing.  Can you think of any reason beyond the natural uncertainties in injuries and recovery setbacks with maybe a soupcon of wishful thinking to keep spirits up?  And maybe sometimes trying to keep future opponents guessing.

Medics give their best estimate each week. Sometimes setbacks, sometimes quicker than expected recovery. Not all injuries have a linear recovery period like a standard hammy strain.

From reading them over the years it appears to me that keeping the spirits up is the number one item. They really don't know most of the time so 3-4 gets trotted out ( keeps the fans happy ) when we all know it is probably 426. And when you see 426 stay that way for a few weeks you know it was 10-12 in the first place. If Brown plays before July I will amazed.

In two weeks that will change to 426 and we will know he is out for the rest of the season.

[pewpewpew 686]

pardon my skepticism but I'm not buying that Brayshaw is ok. Either the reporter is making his own call here or he has asked a club official at training that they've just said "she'll be right". Given the recent history Gus will need to get a scan before being cleared as ok not just a quick looksee in the rooms by the medicos. I would watch this space and take lots of grains of salt.

We only now found out that Harmes had surgery via the press and have still not had anything official from the club.

Once again poor communication to members in regards to injuries.

They will play him vs the Saints and his foot will fall apart.

Do you think he will be ready come finals time? It would be good to have both he and Weid ready by then.

Unless they are ready before then well  Brown anyway I have doubts we will make finals.

Thanks Dub.

How crap is the MFC website!? Burgo gives the injury report, quite obviously wasn’t going to talk about Harmes until word got out and then they inserted a section which talks about him. Typical of the website – keep the supporters completely in the dark if they possibly can.

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 3,946]

Reporter probably hasnt seen a player go off to get foot re-strapped at training before.

[JTR 2,672]

Can someone remind me the player who started the whole 426 thing?

I know we had a guy that had return from injury as "4 to 6 weeks" almost permanently, but can't remember who it was.

[Demonstone 19,700]

Nick Smith.

I doubt Brown will play many games for us.  Hope I am wrong but have zero faith in his knee.

Nick Smith, had to feel for this guy just couldn't get a run at it.  Luke Molan, Aaron Rodgers, Mitch Clarke, Chris Dawes, Jesse Hogan really every key forward we have drafted/traded in since 2001 falls into the 426 category,

Maybe they want to keep the Saints guessing for as long as possible. Not the end of the world is it?
