SHEPHERD RULED OUT FOR 4-6 WEEKS

The results of a scan on Emirates Western Force winger Cameron Shepherd’s left knee show a partial tear of the posterior cruciate ligament.

The injury is expected to keep Shepherd sidelined for between 4 to 6 weeks but will not require surgery.

Means we lose our best player for the end of the season... to go with losing our #1 hooker to forced retirement.

Drew really starts needing to step up now.

Could have been worse - all the best for a speedy recovery - Shep has done more than enough to justify allaby first 15 selection.

NOOOOOOOO!!! Poor guy, injuries suck. At least he doesn't need surgery, that's a huge plus!

Sheps was moving well at training this morning, no more super 14 but he thinks he'll be fine for Wallabies call up.

If the first test is May 26 Sheppy could be a goer. Let's hope Latho fixes up quick as well - then we'll have a mean back three with these guys and Turkey.

Contract - Money - Pressure - Politics....

Take your pick felixnelson.
But I agree certain positions and players are getting rested on a regular basis.
Not 13 and 15 though.

But John picks the team, not me or you.....but we have opinions.

we dont see the training either. drew might out perform sheps at training. we dont see all the stuff which goes behind closed doors. have faith in mitch's decision making!
