Interesting, because it is usually the blokes with alot of upper body muscle that tend to pull hammys more frequently.. But Gumby tore it last year aswell I'm pretty sure.:thumbsd:

gumby does not have huge upper body muscle...wouldnt worry too much about a hammy tear this early, although he has done a few now?

Gumbleton will be a superstar key forward in 5 years time. Mark my words.

Good one chicken little, the sky is falling , the sky is falling.
So what he has had a couple of hammy injuries. So have a number of players who have got over them. Way too early to be complaining just yet.

Maybe, we will see. He still has to prove himself and if he keeps doing hamstings he won't. He better not become a Heath James! Hamstrings are a pain in the arse to get over!

No he hasn't. Whilst he has showed "signs" of a good player, I friken hope he doesn't become a injury prone KPP! All Gumbleton is, is a player with potential to be a quality CHF.

Mate, the guy was being sarcastic.....

He has played 5 games, give him a break.:thumbsu:
 
Mark my words, he'll be a fantastic player down the track. So what if he's having a few injury troubles early on in his career - the same can be said for a few other KPP's taken early in that draft (Thorp and Hansen).

Given him time.

A guy called James Hird was an injury magnet.
Just about any football injury you could think of, and others, he had.

He is one of the greatest players the game has known!

Let's not get too worried just yet!

quite a theory......its his hammy, not his pectorial.

It comes down to the strength and flexibility of the hamstring, and its ability to withstand the load placed upon it. Upper body bulk has nothing to do with it.

Heavier the upper body the more load placed upon it, I would of thought?

no such thing. if anything, muscle imbalances in the leg may contribute to it....but essentially, its the ability of the hamstring to handle the load placed upon it.

anyway, mcnabb's back this week. good luck vs the giants. your boys need the win to keep in touch with the NFC wild-card!

Sounds like you know much more on the subject than me mate, so I'll leave it alone for now.

And thanks, fingers crossed :thumbsu:

think your being a bit harsh bomber1, pavlich didnt do anything untill towards the end of his second year, and only started to really cause problems in his third year. now look at him. gumby will be a great asset, or alternatively you can trade him to freo :D
