Alby Mathewson re-signs with the Force

[Tonkar]

Now we need Sias to sign under same conditions and we willl be on a roll for next yr 2015 yr 10 finalists (( hope my dreams come true)O

[GIGS20]

Sias doesn't have the same conduits, as a development player there's an implication that he will sign until eligible for the Wallabies. That would virtually assure the ARU approving his contract (unless they've suddenly decided they don't want a solid defending, tactical ten that can cut teams up when he decides to and doesn't necessarily need great ball)

They're sure to let it happen right?

or "choice!"

One is absolutely delighted beyond mere words..

In his recent interview Alby gave some insights into his ankle injury.

Ankle Syndesmosis Injury = High Ankle Sprain.
Recovery from these injuries take 2x longer than normal ankle sprains.

He's now snapped 3 of the 4 tendons in his ankle which probably means surgery at the end of the season.

I doubt if he'll be risked this side of the test block.

If he was at the Tahs it would be a rock-solid, iron-clad YES! ;-)

Snapped? Have some experience with this and I thought that in these cases, if the tendon(s) are stretched or have manageable tears, they can be rehabbed. But 3 of 4 torn seems a case for surgery. Sometimes stretched tendons eventually still need surgery as the ankle can become very unstable.

[Kept One]

Great news on Alby's re-signing, lets celebrate with a win over the Lions.

[valzc]

We'll according The West he may be back next week for Crusaders game which is fantastic & the sprain wasn't so bad to need surgery.

[The InnFORCEr]

The west may say that, but my mail is that he will no return until after French series, not worth the risk for one match when he has more than two years ahead. No issues for me there, get it absolutely right I say!

[jono]

x 2

[GIGS20]

If we lose this one because Alby isn't there and win the last three because he's absolutely right and on fire.

I reckon I could live with that!
