Yep, he said he had a nerve grafted from his hammy to his calf (or the other way maybe?). Said it would be unlikely he will play this year, but the club is supporting him. He has used his time well, looks massive now - will come back better.
Do you think we'll re-sign him though?
I hope we do. He is there every week working his butt off to get back, and from the little we saw of him he has a lot of potential. He is one big unit now, I would venture to say maybe bigger than Sam Collins? I'm sure some of the more regular training watchers could give an opinion on that.
Not wanting to sound pedantic, but I read 8 - 10 weeks. Wouldn't that be at least 8? Or has there been a further release?
Yes it was operated on last year to be re-attached from memory?
Are you still able to ride to training at the new venue Clem?
seems that's another who's potentially dodged a season ending injury
It sure is. I haven't been since they moved the training watchers to the new area, but hopefully catch you there one day.
It's interesting that they've put a number on Bennell's injury, would almost prefer him to stay TBA until he plays
Don't stress, it'll be back to TBA in 10 weeks or so.
Tab got a lot of Fan base in today training.
So Apeness is only 2 weeks away and Ballantyne is only a month away
Had three surgeries over the off season (shoulder, elbow, wrist I think?) Missed the first half of preseason so he is a bit behind the eight ball.
I believe that Uber had his contract extended for a year in his first year with us . I mentioned that to him as we were entering a Peel game at Mandurah this season and he didn't say he hadnt.
I think Uber was on a 1 year contract as a rookie which was then extended the year like you were saying however that means he is out of contract at the end of this year.
