Don't like the sound of Lever's foot. Wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a 10-12 week injury.

He was running and kicking in Monday’s training gallery on the website. If it was that bad, he wouldn’t be weight bearing, let alone running. Reckon another week or two sounds right. 

I would almost prefer hearing them say, we hope Jake will be fine in a couple of weeks but we won’t be considering him for selection for at least 4 weeks to play things conservative. 

Just rule him out for a while and then if he gets back sooner it’s better. 

Injury List

Michael Hibberd

Wow no Lever on the list. 

Maybe the whispers about Levers foot were a bit premature.

Lever is on the list 😜

Getting the Big guns back and Salo will be back by Round 10, glad I am not a selector.!!!

Realistically as sad as it is for Salo to be on the sidelines rounds 12-15 is when we need him back for and firing. It’s been a great effort from our backs to play so well so far. With some key troops back over the next three weeks in Lever, Petty and eventually Hibbo (who may struggle to get back in if Smith, Hunt and Tomlinson keep improving) we’re in pretty good shape. Let’s keep the rest healthy and keep winning!

That's the key keep winning gives you options to rest players, ensure little niggles don't become big ones, give the players time to recover from injury with no pressure.  Beat Port this week, 0 and 4 is a long way back for them.

Available..............in 4--6. 

MitchBrown is a listed player yet no mention of concussion or concussion protocols.

No injury listed to JVR causing his withdrawal from the Casey game 🤔

Mitch Brown wasn't hit in the head when collected. It seemed like he was blindsided by a bump, and initially it looked like he was winded. It may be a rib injury of some sort.

Injury List

Michael Hibberd

Calf | 2 Weeks

Daniel Turner

Foot | 3-5 Weeks

Christian Salem

Knee | 4-6 Weeks

 

Christian Salem is firmly in the 426 category. It is his 2nd week with that outlook for return.

Progress, sort of.

Probably because it's a long weekend

They won’t rush Hibbo or Salem don’t need them back until they are 100% fit.!!

Played in all 4 quarters for Casey last week but not full game time. Would expect more game time this week before being available for recall for ANZAC eve.
