It is treatable though. They just need him to see a pain specialist who deals with nerve pain and do it quick. Then with the correct treatment, he should be as good as new. Without this he is i real trouble. Nerve pain is debilitaing and you never know when it will strike. You can be fine one minute and unable to walk the next.

Yep, and he’s 100% overcome it and not only regained full fitness but taken it to a new level. It took awhile though.
 
We all know when he was hurt - player ran straight into his back with a knee. No free, no penalty. This kind of cheap stuff is the reason I roll my eyes at some of the suspensions handed out for acts that are well and truly within the spirit of the game while this goes unnoticed and not called out.

He was going at less than half rat power before Keath put his knee in his back.

You have highlighted hower the farcical nature of the MRO.

You can ran with a full head of steam and jump knees first into someones head, neck, shoulders, back, and it's fine so long as the ball was kicked.

If you did it for a hand ball you'd likely be in trouble.

I mean it's pretty absurd.

Can’t blame Keath, Cunnington run out on that field and is fair game imo..
he should never have taken the field in that state.

Absolutely. But I hope it's in the memory bank for next time.

The Bovine (tm KC) needs to take him out early. Legally in a tackle of course.

I’m just glad we don’t have sooks look the bont, who would’ve cried to the media at how unfair it is.
But absolutely it should be stored in the collective memory of the group.

Mate if Robbie Tarrant pulled up short because a bloke had a sore back we'd be up in arms. Nothing in that incident, Meath went hard and split a pack like any kpd worth his salt should. Fair play. Serves us right for putting a cripple on the field and trying to hide him in a pocket. I'd love to see that footage, didn't think anything of Keaths impact apart from the fact it was another hospital pass from one of ours

WTF does Keath have to do with this? The incident I'm referring to was weeks ago and was well out of a marking contest.

Sorry mate replied to the wrong post. Everyone thinks you are referring to Meath, as did I

Fair enough, definitely not though. It was a few weeks back and it looked like it bloody hurt at the time. As soon as this back thing flared up it was the first thing I thought of.
 
As long as ahern doesn't put 4 meat pies away before the game and doesn't look like a beer keg with legs we should be right, hopefully next time cunners thinks about our 2.0 start to the year if we ever have another one with him before he goes throwing hay bales around on the farm..
