Kelvin Sheedy said he's an almost guy. Can see what he means but when Jordan is in this type of mood, he's the perfect defender.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Injured again? Can’t be

 

[HirdyLannister]

I think we all need to accept that this guy will never play full seasons

 

[jannissary]

at least it's not his quad

Or calf.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

its his hammy

Gives the term ‘soft tissue’ a whole old meaning.

 

[MiguelM]

Quad, calf, hammy....not many other muscles in the leg he can do!

You would think 4+ with his history.

May give Hayes a chance now.

 

[naraku]

Pity he is spending more time on the sidelines nowadays. Love Rids, but **** me.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

it really is just unbelievable how bad this guys luck is.

Is it luck? Or is his body just not up too it?

 

[MiguelM]

They are saying 8-10 weeks FMD. If I was Rids I would be seeking out Jamie Elliot to pick his brain on how he overcame the hammy curse.

Amazing that Jones will be back before him.

Time for the calf's blood.

Personally I would not be in a rush to get him back. Maybe we need to look outside the box and seek something different for him rehab and training wise even if it takes him 8 / 10 / 12 weeks.

I believe Elliot went to Ballet school!

They would know hammys

He’s been seeking out different specialists and rehab and stuff both off his own bat and with the club to overcome this stuff. It’s a different hamstring than last time too.

Seems like he’s made of tissue paper no matter what they do

Yeah I wonder if those back issues early days are now resulting in soft tissues. Seems to be common for those who have bad backs down the track.

If he had a run at it like say McGrath has had, I’d be confident he’d be a regular all Australian contender.

Hird did as well I'm pretty sure.

Yep it’s all connected

Yep it’s all connected

The leg bone is connected to the back bone the back bone is connected to the neck bone

10-12 weeks? **** me are him and parish in a contest for who can miss the most games with soft tissue injuries?

2023 - 17 vs 18 games
2024 - 9 vs 12 games
2025 - 5 vs 0 games

Is that what they are predicting. All I heard was that it’s a non-surgical high grade hammy. I’d braced myself for maybe 6 weeks, not 3 months.

Yeah, but what about the next time?

Jones looked like he died and now he’ll be back before a hamstring
