View Full Version : Broken Thumb
I heard a North player broke their thumb at training, but I'm not sure who.
Apparently this happened today.......

I hope you are joking - shit
Kymmy - I wouldn't joke about such a thing.
From what I heard it was on MMM's 4pm news, it was a NORTH player and they should be right for round 1 of the home and away footy.

The player in question is Spider Burton.

He can play minus a thumb... it will only hurt when he rucks...
They say he is out for the Ansett cup. So who replaces him.
Broken forefinger, not thumb, what's the diff anyway.
Daph - I think Lindsay might have a go at Ruck with Corey.
Any other suggestions anyone?

This is the perfect opportunity to play young Lindsay Smith now (assuming he wasn't going to play), give the kid a little bit of experience, because no doubt during the year, Corey will play with some type of injury, and leaving the ruck duties to Spider alone is frightening.
The only other Ruckman is Drew Petrie!!
Spider may have his faults but......

but what.... warrior...
Come on guys you have got to give it to Spider, he came from a weak team, didnt get much of a run the last year he played for them, and then he comes over here to the reigning premiers and has to learn a whold new ball game. I think he was great last year under the circumstances (still had an injury I believe). Just the build of the man would be a handicap for most, and then there is his age. Lets see what he does this year, he has already accquired one asset this year, a wife, that can only be for the good. In fact we should see an improvement in Simmo, Spider and Carey all for the same reason.
So spidey got married huh?
Can we call her Mrs Spider of Miss Muffet?
Oh shite, my jokes are really bad aren't they.
