So play a game, get that match fitnes into him, have an operation, then bye week and if a minor miracle happens he's ok by Rd 1 or maybe Rd 2.

i would say the surgey is very minor and precautionary since its the start of the year

Get rid of it now so when it’s crunch time in the season he won’t be affected by it
I am trusting that the medical and high performance teams have a better insight into Connor’s injury. At the end of the day Connor will require a fully function8ng skeletal system well beyond his playing days. The health and welfare of the player must come first. The way some posters are carrying on you would think he is the only player that can play his position

Tredrea said once the stitches are healed he will be good to go, but he ain’t no doctor. Probably 2-4 weeks

I get the sense that they know there may be some foreign body in the joint but until the surgery is done they don’t know the extent of the damage. If it’s as straight forward as they’re hoping it could be 2-3 weeks. If they find it’s worse than anticipated could be much longer.

If Rozee isn't playing round 1, then playing him today was stupid. Any fitness or touch he gains today will disappear immediately as he sits games out. He should 100% have been operated on already. If he doesn't play round 1 then the club has made a mess of this.

Meh we don’t know what the medical professionals said, maybe they thought it wouldn’t impact him and see how he goes.
In any case we have the players to replace Rozee in the short term. Need him 100% for the rest of the season

It's pretty odd though you must admit he could've made it worse or suffered another injury all while he's booked in to go under the knife.. it's bizarre.

He had better be a bloody exceptional surgeon to be messing with our boy, minor op or not.

I just don't understand why he wasn't on a plane to Sydney last week. We gained zero out of playing him this weekend. It's ludicrous. We should've been trying to get him back out on the park as early as possible. To think we wasted a week of recovery, and he'll miss a game that actually matters is insane.
The game against North matters, but if Connor is the difference between winning and losing that game, then we have much bigger problems.

That’s true, maybe could only get him this week, in that case it makes sense he play the game coz they said it wouldn’t get any worse

What if it becomes the game against WC or Richmond. The point remains the same, there would have to be an insanely good reason why 1 more preseason game was considered more important than a regular season game.
Or the surgeons advice was, play one more game. If it feels better let's keep going, if it feels the same or worse, let's go the surgery option.

Did you read the club statement? Surgery was only decided on last week and booked in as soon as possible. Playing the game on the weekend posed no further risk to the injury so it was decided to get valuable game time into him now whilst they could instead of trying to bring a guy back into the side who hadn't had a competitive hit out for the best part of 2 months.

According to Kane the surgery went extremely well and the outcome was as good as we could have hoped for.

Kane would say a 50 point defeat was a "good learning experience"
