Player Watch Daniel Curtin

[WeeBlake]

This must be the fourth of fifth big knee scare we have had without an ACL (touch wood)

 

[Crow54]

I assume some people think tackling is no longer in the game?

They weren't tackling. That's quite a different exercise.

 

[FR0GGY]

They weren't tackling. That's quite a different exercise.

What they were doing would be useful in a scuffle when the other bloke has you pinned down.
Luckily we have woz who would be first in to drag them off.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

wonder if they curtail this going forward. not a great look

Maybe everyone does the activity except Rankine, Thilthorpe, Curtin, Dawson and Rachele

Yep. They're already good. We need our bad players to get better.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

He was coming off the top rope.

Seriously, who sanctioned this match?

Channel 7 news had exclusive footage of when it happened:

Wrestling teaches you how to grab your opponent and how to hold on. It builds core strength . It helps you react to different moves an opponent might make to break a tackle

Some may not see it as essential but as a summer training exercise it breaks up the monotony of training while providing a tactical teaching opportunity

Yes its horrible that an injury has happened but they can happen anytime in any training situations

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Lucky he was wrestling with Dawson, not Keane. Might have also been sporting a broken nose.

 

[AFC979810]

Very creative way to keep him out of the state of origin clash. He could have gotten hurt playing in that game.

 

[Crow till I die]

Maybe everyone does the activity except Rankine, Thilthorpe, Curtin, Dawson and Rachele

YES. No point playing dodgems with your Ferrari's

 

[Eagleboy2011]

On the surface, it seems good news.

 

[Coopers]

Actually comforting to see he can stand and although hurt his leg carries his weight just fine.

 

[Cromulant]

Its something every club does in training, grappling is part of the game.

 

[footy4ever]

Right on ****ing cue

 

[I Lost My Keays]

It’s one of those things, it bloody sucks seeing him injured with a knee injury. But I want the club to take some serious time to get him back to shape and not rush him back at all.

Dawson might as well have urinated on the Dan!

Ffs, once again literally the last player we want with a serious injury gets one.

I think last year showed theres a couple of slightly smaller players we cant afford to be missing.

But Dan is right amongst it.

And one large one that’s at the top of the “don’t get injured pile.”

 

[Danger in Texas]

But Dan is right amongst it.

Based off of last year’s form, we can’t afford to be missing anyone with the initials JD, IR, RT or JR

For future development though, Dan getting injured is worst case scenario. Thankfully not an ACL or even a PCL like Thilthorpe, at least

 

[Pugsley]

According to my John who dr level skills that’s a 4-5 day injury.

Why we get a professional opinion.

 

[cleanhands]

Stop wetting the bed everyone, the full extent is not yet known

...and missing also right on cue at a crucial time of the season.

Will be good to go round 1
