How's he going ?

Anyone notice a down turn in productivity this season.

Ah It's only round 4

is he just getting tagged out of the game ?

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Tagers/Coaches/Clubs are taking more notice. Dudd had this last year for a patch.

Cogs will just take time, like Dudd, to get over it.

 

[sante]

Yeh poor Cogs!! We need him playing his best to help out Johnson and BOWDEN!!!

 

[julzqld]

He's definitely lacking something. Have we put too much pressure on him?

 

[WilliamPowell]

Granted he is being tagged but.....

I reckon he is clearly not fit and is carrying some sort of injury.

I went to watch training on Good Friday and he hardly did any of the drills - spent most of his time doing running.

He copped a nasty whack during the game against the saints and stayed on his backside for a while. The Cogs of 2003 would have bounced straight up.

If he is carrying some form of injury - the club should bite the bullet and NOT play him. Rest him - give him time to recover.

 

[Coach Required]

Hail... Hail ritchie Hail the great Kid


GIVE HIM THE CAPTAINCY 2005 !!!!!!!!!!!

He could have the dreaded OP. Looks like he's slowed a cog or two.

 

[Fishfinger]

Can't remember where I heard it and don't know if it's true, but I definitely did hear he was being "managed" for OP. Whatever that means. (managed, not OP.)
Didn't he have an abdominal injury pre-season?
Nice pun IITB.

 

[oxx]

OP is Osteo Pubitus.

Im no doctor but i can tell you that
Its a hardening of the pubic hair and happens to a
lot of players who dont wash enough.

It restricts running and lateral movement

 

[Fishfinger]

Thanks oxx. We'll be consulting soon.
I get a hardening in that area myself but that could be from washing too much.
I was more after what "managing" means. I know how to manage my problem but that might not be working for Cogs.

 

[itsintheblood]

Well if he has got osteitis pubis then it's a real problem. It's a long term condition and can be only healed by rest. LOTS of rest. Just what we need at the moment.

 

[1980]

If he needs rest, rest him. Dont wreck his confidence by playing him when he's not 100%.

If its true he's playing with OP, this coach is not only wrecking the 2004 season, he's wrecking the club's long term future.
