Retired #18: Michael Hurley 🐻 - Staying on in a coaching and player welfare role! - 3/10

[Lore]

Non-contact for another week but otherwise has a full training load.

“Hurls had a shoulder reconstruction and he’s really at the end of his rehabilitation phase. He’s been training essentially fully with the group except for contact,” Rundle said on Tuesday.

“He’s at the end of his contact progressions now and should be integrating fully with the group within the next week or so.”

Injury update: Stars on track for return

A number of important Bombers are on track to hit the ground running in the 2020 season.

He's ours for 6 but he was already contracted for 2017 so it's only an extra 5

Has the big footy server crash yet following the announcement that Hurley is staying?

Me at other clubs thinking any of our priority players would not re-sign:

Jfc. Put a trigger warning on this shit. ****ing hell. #****clowns

 

[Doggies7]

Congrats Bombers. Was hoping we would be able to lure him across but no luck, huge re-signing. Hats off

lucky you are not sitting in the naughty corner for dropping the f bomb in front of them. F... Yes!

I think we should all change our Avatars to Hurley. Sorry DapperDon.

I can only imagine how it would've gone over had I been at work when I heard... Probably would've looked even more bonkers than usual.

Announced it just before the Bulldogs game.

That's a massive **** you if I've ever seen one.
