Wildcard gives us a chance still

 

[richoatthedisco]

Lots of pants-pissing going on.

Today was just a bit of a kick. If you're rehabbing a quad you don't kick.

 

[prodigy1311]

He played near 200 games , not sure I see the parallels , am I missing something

At pick 6 for rfc, he was a bust

 

[partycorolla]

This is really hard to fathom and is borderline a piss take.

He’s gone from doing plenty of running around at PRO and from all reports was looking good only a few days ago to then rocking up to day 1 of official pre season and then being declared a major issue and missing the entire pre season.

Surely he must’ve been feeling pain or discomfort leading into this and the club would’ve monitored every running session he was doing in the off season considering his history in 2025.

What on earth are you talking about? Who has mentioned that?

Where has it been reported a serious issue and missing the whole pre season

 

[THE_GUN]

The bigger issue is why did pick #3 come off the track early

 

[Punt Road Feral]

Oh my...
I've come home and hastily read the club update as worse possible scenario (missing entire pre season vs start of pre season)

It will be interesting to see what timeline the club puts on it but we're accustomed to know it will blow out or be super precautious

What club update? Pretty sure the only thing causing everyone to run around like their heads have been cut off has been one tweet with little detail

 

[Tiges1229]

Dudd delist

Even in the off season the oracle is right . Best

 

[Tiges1229]

Didn’t we have a camel at training one year that explains everything we need to know where the club has gone after harddick left

 

[tropicaltiger]

Where has it been reported a serious issue and missing the whole pre season

pre season 2025 no doubt young mcguire trying to make a name for himself
50 days till 2026, he will be right

 

[Boxo004]

**** this place is a classic. Full of bloody drama queens

 

[darcytiger]

Get him cherry ripe for 2027 I reckon.

 

[Madtiger2006]

The 2 hammys kept him out for most of the season. The quad was towards the end and he was training a few weeks later

 

[tony__montana]

A combination of media attention whoring to make it seem like a big new thing and the club being conservative about getting his body right. Calm down Karens.

Wording would’ve been different no?

 

[Wrenny]

I wonder if the club will release anything?
