I wouldn’t worry Picket, the report said it was done at training on Friday afternoon.

Heard from a friend of a friend that, Traccs cracked ribs are on the minor side of things. They said, he said, "if it was in season he would be playing next week".

Apparently it takes 6 weeks for a cracked rib to fully recover, so if you go by that timeline he’ll miss the first practice match (V maybe North around 20 Feb??). This is on the assumption they go fully conservative on him.

Makes you wonder how and why May missed just one game with his fractured rib.

The first key to success for 2025 is to have a strong and healthy pre season. Already we have our best 2 players missing the entire January…

You can still train with a cracked rib….don’t panic…..yet!

No contact for 2-3 weeks to be on the cautious safe side.

He will be fine one would think.

That is great news.

Agree - this is a minor disaster.

 

Sounds relatively minor. It should have minimal impact on his pre-season. Carry on ...

My memory tells me Jimmy played on through cracked ribs, as a ruckman!

 

I don't expect the same from Trac but this is not a disaster.

Not good particularly when he was already behind the 8 ball fitness wise, was hard to see him been 100% this year before this, even more so now

I understand from 'sources close to the Club', Trac's been so far behind the 8-ball lately, he might start as a tagger in games—just to see if he can catch up.

Just hope he is mentally strong enough now to be able to move forward and put his body on the line when needed... feel for the guy. I don't know if I could do it.. but il back him in. Just hope this is the very last time we hear the words petracca and cracked ribs again.

Nope not the Case, from what Ive seen from training sessions is that he was and is in great nick. My concern from what my source is, that the same rib as previous has been damaged! This is shizzen news if coŕrect!!🤯

Rib injuries are actually quite common in the arts of grappling.

Many have played with broken ribs before, so it can be done.

If he is not peak fitness in the first half of the season, play him forward. He’ll give many a defender nightmares as a permanent forward.

I would not be averse to him playing in that role anyway, notwithstanding the current rib issue. A great weapon to have there in the post ANB period and it would give our younger mids starting with Trent Rivers the opportunity to blossom in a new look midfield.

Having broken ribs myself, the recovery is mainly about pain tolerance. You can do pretty much everything you would normally, but some things are just a lot more painful. Even things you wouldn't expect, like pull ups. It's an upper body exercise, but having your arms in the air pulls on your ribcage. Hurts.

So you can train and play but it'll be uncomfortable. Trac I expect it will be in the yellow bib at training for a bit so it heals fully.

Sneezing was the worst for me..
