David Hille-ACL

[eth-dog]

Heard that it was an ACL. apparently confirmed at HT. probably out for the year

 

[AndyLesPaul]

ACL?

oh god.

said on channel ten that he did something to his knee.

 

[BringBackCransberg]

Triple M (trash though it is) said 12 months.

 

[boncer34]

Isn't that what Malkesci did? Surely if Sydney can afford the surgery we can to.

 

[eth-dog]

Malceski did a PCL.

 

[BomberAce7]

I was hoping for a badly jarred knee but him doing an ACL is a massive blow to us. I know Bellchamber's form hasnt been good but he must come in next week to support Paddy in the Ruck. With Hurley coming back in the next 1-2 weeks he will fill Paddy's role in defence.

Nah.
from memory i'm pretty sure Davey did an ACL last year?
season ending injury that was

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Nothing confirmed yet.

Why was Ch 10 banging on like it was fait accompli?

Until the scans come through we don't know squat.

After the way that Ryder played in the ruck today, I would let Hille take a year and do it the normal way.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Knights confirmed it on AW.

Triple m at qaurter time said liagment damage

 

[Gus2Gumby]

Poor Bloke. Arguably our most important player.

Interesting to see what Knighta does to cover him. Bellchambers will get a run, but perhaps not every week after what Ryder showed today.

Good luck on the recovery Hilley.

 

[AndyLesPaul]

I BLAME DEMPSEY
(he kicked it to him)

 

[mxett]

While it seems likely he's done his ACL its not definate until he has an MRI.
There's always hope

 

[Sam the RAMA fan]

I feel sick

 

[LeeARM]

I really hope he'll be ok. No Hille and no Laycock to step in for him will not be good. It's a shame for Laycock too because this would be a perfect opportunity for him to step up. If Hille is out for the year I just hope that Ryder and Bellchambers really improve during this time. If they're forced to step up then hopefully they can speed up their development and become the ruck men we'd like but a lot faster.
Although, the best thing to happen would be for Hille's injury not to be that bad so he can come back.

 

[nicko99]

****! why ****ing hille
its such a shame when players get injured like this its because of crap kicks! Dempsey was uncontested and he still screwed the kick up

 

[bomberz08]

even though paddy played well in the ruck today, Hille adds a lot and paddy probably will struggle to play against the strong body ruckmen for the whole year.

 

[warney7]

For it not to be an ACL, 3 doctors assessing him at the ground would all have to be wrong.

I'd say the chances of it not being on ACL are around 1-5%

Shockingly cruel blow!

 

[AndyLesPaul]

THERES STILL HOPE.



so when is laycock back?
and is bellchambers up to scratch yet?

 

[Lance Uppercut]

our most important player by a mile. Massive, massive set-back. Could well be the deciding factor in us making the finals, in a negative way

 

[DonMania#5]

Laycock will explode this year

 

[PCORF]

Malceski did a PCL.

No it was an ACL, pretty sure he had a synthetic ligament put into his knee. It will eventually wear out.

Hille is not the only ruckman to have suffered this kind of injury. I think it happens to the bigger ruckmen alot more than it does to other players. What happened is Hille landed on one leg, off balance and landing on a straight leg almost certianly spells doom for the player. Naturaly you would land with your knees bent. Also landing on one leg increases the chances of twisting the knee and POP!, down you go.

I'm pretty sure that Hille tore the ACL sorry to say.
