That's a terrible suggestion. Consistency in playing is a hugely important factor in form. If he's fit, he plays every week.

Which brings us to where we are today.
From day 1 I’ve called Soldo breaking down if not managed correctly.
From day 1 I’ve said we should be rotating the rucks to try and keep him in one piece.
We bring Soldo back in 4-6 weeks and give him the same workload we will break him down again.
You give him 2 on and 1 off or 4-5 weeks on and a month off.
The chances of this injury derailing his entire year are actually fairly high. It’s likely to be half baked rehab to try and save the season and we’ll end up with a Scott Lycett situation where we just end up running him into the ground.

I don't think the gap between Soldo and Sweet is that huge and honestly I don't mind that he is out. Sweet will need to develop some chemistry with our mids in case he is called on, so this is a great little window to have our backup in a position where he is fully ready to act as a backup. Injuries aren't always the worst thing.
I agree with this. I am happy to keep developing our group, rather than worrying about Hinkley's contract. After last week I have totally given up on the year. We have the players, but dont have the coaches to do it. I am stoked that Sweet gets to play in a block of games ... Too good for snafel, lets see how he goes in the AFL.
Felt exactly the same way about Soldo. Placing too much workload too soon and here we are. Got criticized harshly on FB by happy clappers pointing this out.
Anyone who bought jarred knee has never seen anyone do a knee.

Heard Tredders last night saying that Port SANFL only played with 13 AFL contracted players last week.
Must be down to single digits now.
Dark(er) days ahead for Port supporters in coming months in both the AFL and reserves.

He said/meant SANFL contracted players. I counted 13 SANFL top up players the next day after we lost to WWT.
It’s going to be an extensive injury list come Tuesday evening, next month will be a great test of character.

Maybe they couldn’t tell? Potential cramp? Not sure if sending him out quickly to test was going to make much difference? Suits the agenda by many posters here of poor player management l! Sometimes it’s hard to determine!
Sometimes if the hammy doesnt completely ping, it can be hard to to differentiate from a cramp, or even a light corky. You could see him remonstrating with the medics, so he clearly thought it wasnt a hammy. He was only on for a short while and clearly was hampered, so off he came.
Hopefully just a light injury.

Yep.
He wasn't out there for long and was obviously told to give it a few runs to see if it's still tight. Came straight back to the bench.
The replay showed him grab at his hammy after the contest, but he was motioning with the doctors when he did that rushed kick. I wonder if he twanged it slightly earlier.
