Ok what's the story on injuries for the Force?
Just happy to be here
mackay and junior out for the season
graham out one more week with concussion
thats all i know but i think there is a couple more
To some its a six-pack, to me it's a support group.
Rudi Vedalago, ?knee. Season.
Lachlan MacKay, torn medial ligament right knee. Season with some hope of last couple of games.
Junior Pelesasa, fractured right ankle. Eight to ten weeks.
Josh Graham, concussion mandatory two weeks off. One week (plus bye)
Gavin DeBartolo was previously injured but not sure if he is back on deck yet?
MacKay, Pelesasa and Graham were all injured during the preseason as well so may have been a little under done coming into the season however, each of their injuries where tackle related so fitness may not have much to do with it.
Vedalago's injury is a wrist/forearm injury, he had surgery prior to the season, and you are correct in that he is out for the entire season.Originally Posted by Burgs
I dont think you can put the injuries down to fitness, look at the Brumbies and Wallabies last year, they lost something riiculous like 12 players. Its a contact sport and these things happen.
We have had a bad run but it just means that next year we will have another 3 or 4 guys that have regular Super 14's experience and will have depth at those positions. To take a parrallel from another sport if you look at the eagles 3 years ago they were decimated by injuries and looked garbage, but because of that in the ensuing 2 years they had enormous depth and last year went to the Grand Final...
Its another case of short term pain for long term gain.
Rudi Vedalago - wasn't it a wrist reconstruction? recovering better than expected
Alex Peden - some sort of back injury I think - one of the reasons we are light on in the centres
