This has made me unreasonably angry, not blaming anyone but **** me can we catch a ****ing break?

Just once?

Kako caught a break… right in his back!

For sure.

Injuries can quickly make any team uncompetitive.

Look at the Dogs, 2 weeks ago they were flying, now they will struggle to stay in the 8 IMO.

And the Hawks just merrily going along their way basically injury free for two years.

One of the bigger kicks to the groin.
Our elite young guys desperately need continuity to develop correctly - missing games in the formative years really inhibits a player more than these types of injuries as a senior player (i.e. 25yrs onwards).
Kako in particular needs to play because only just working it all out, whereas I think Nick Watson was a bit more advanced at his age - certainly more dominant as a junior.

Thanks, so locusts next?

Still 6 weeks away according to latest injury report

Was always going to be a big time out when dealing with a back. Is actually quicker than I thought he would be.

I wish we would just make the call on Fiorini though for the MSD.

In one round of football we've had Sharp dislocate his shoulder to miss 6 weeks, and Johnson break his foot to now miss most of the rest of the season.

I'd just wait until the last minute and see what happens.

I have wondered about this. I know someone with a scoliosis 'duck back.' Kako's is the same curve. Am I being a hypochondriac?

Umm, yeah, probably a big jump to a conclusion there.
