Guy Richards may have OP

On the club website;



Michael Broadbridge...

He has a groin injury. I’m not sure if it has been officially diagnosed as osteitis pubis, but they are concerned that it might be the early stages of that sort of injury.

Terrible news if it's true, but hopefully it's just some soreness around the area. Can this kid catch a bloody break for God's sake??

I'll be a happy man if Richards, C Cloke and Tommy Davidson are all fit and raring to go next pre-season.

Exactly Locks.

I'm not exactly crying if he has played his last game for this year.

Next year is the aim.

Round 1 v Saints.

OH WELL...

He is still the best thing that has happened to the club for the season.

If we were a chance, I would be ****ed off.

Can't wait till next year, "Richards to McGough"

On a serious note though. Do we have more players suffering from OP than other clubs? It seems that every good young player we get has to have OP at the early stages of his career. It cost Chipper his black and white jumper and could quite easily have cost Mcgough his. Are we working them to hard to early or is there another reason? Thoughts?

OP is happening everywhere. It's just that when our players have had it. It's come at a bad time when the player is looking good and gaining respect as a player

You actually think McGough will still be here next year?

he has carried OP all season pretty much, and what he has done in the limited ground time he has had in games has been good

he can find plenty of the ball, his kicking is a little askew but otherwise i would like to see him stay next season

i would have thought he was only 20-21, not sure though, so he still has plenty of footy in front of him



and that is disappointing news for big Richo, he has been great this year, hopefully he just gets it right for next season now
