Can anyone who attends training, confirm or kill off the rumour I heard today that David Hille is having some injury issues with his other knee? Not the one he injured last year.
Normally I would dissmiss this as scuttlebutt, but the particular source's father is on the EFC's DRC Committee (whatever that is?). And with this guy being a complete Bomber nut, I was inclined to beleive him.
If anyone can tell me this is wrong, the shorter the thread the better.

Wasn't it a closed session today?
It wouldn't surprise me if his other knee is playing up due to overcompensating.

DRC is Dick Renyolds Club B.B.H.
At least this time we have a chance to pick up a ruckman in the pre-season draft if neccassary.
I really hope that this is false.

Thanks, DRC is so obvious now you say it, lol.
I hope it is false too, Megatron Don might be right there though. Perhaps soreness from favouring his opposite leg.

I wouldn't be too worried -- you would have expected Hille to take a bit longer then usual and this is one of the reasons. Obviously, the forces through the good knee are greater than that of a smaller player.

Hope it's not true for you guys sake, it'd be the last thing you need. All the best to him.

His knee was good Friday at training. Was running freely.
Not sure about training this morning though. Fingers crossed.

Nup it isn't, just some ramblings.
If you have a look at EFC website, nothing wrong with David's progression. :thumbsu:

Good news then. I did read that he sat out of training or something today though. I would imagine during a knee reco recovery there are times when the opposite knee would feel the strain everynow and then. Maybe there was truth in the knee being sore, but it is clearly nothing to be worried about and a part of the healing process.

A big smile came across my face when I heard he was alright.
Wouldn't like another season without him.
