hes a trooper
thats why!!!
hahaha.
i wouldnt be surprised if he is sore and is doing everything possible to get fit again for this game
awesome to see the youngones getting blooded!!
When Crossy went down it was in front of where I sit and he was definately holding his cheek not his jaw. Pretty sure Drew's hips are made of steel, that was a hefty tackle and I thought he wouldn have been out for a bit, but what a trooper!
This is craziness on the injury front, John Mitchell was on ABC news saying how he didn't expect to have 4 broken bones (within the team) from just one game. Like it was said earlier, just proves the boys gave the game their everything!
As for this week's team, Coach Mitchell is spoiled for choice IMHO, while he might not have the most experienced players on the team, they wouldn't be selected if they weren't up to scratch. Good luck to them all!
One of the media reports gave the medical term for that, but don't ask me to remember it. So, not having the slightest, I Googled it. It means damage to the ligament(s?) that hold the tib & fib together and bind them to the ankle bones. They can be hard to diagnose and treat and may require surgery.
that would be some interesting surgery...
we have 11 injured players out for season now! was it 11?
i thought it was ten
and the team announcement is late
You can't bag the boys for leaving nothing in the tank - it was a performance that had to be made, and unfortunately, the EWF are paying for it in the injuries. But to a man (and the many ladies here), it was worth the win!
On Cross - surgeon says they are not bad fractures, but yes there are 3. They will just take time to heal. You're looking at roughly 6 weeks before he's back on the paddock.
"Remember lads, rugby is a team game; all 14 of you make sure you pass the ball to Giteau."
could be a lot worst then i spose.
at least bones heal stronger than before so he would be pretty unlucky to break it again

Noticed Sare getting on the plane with the squad in the ABC TV footage, I don't know his availabilty but strange he would fly if he isn't available or at least borderline for a one match tour.
"Bloody oath we did!"
Nathan Sharpe, Legend.
I believe he's back in the 22 Burgs
