Looks like season over and Wishing him a speedy recovery

Poor bloke was a courageous act going back with the flight. Good luck Kyle a big preseason and full back is yours.

Was it Ruttens hit that did the damage?

nah I think it was the Port player, had his knee out (as you do) and lodged it squarely in the sweet spot under the ribs there.

nothing malicious about it, but yeah he got hit very solidly.

 

[JP Sauce]

Just saw the hit on the 7 coverage. Highlight of The Future's career.

"Hey grandkids, do you know that I once injured Kyle Hartigan? He ended playing 200 games for the Crows, so it was pretty sweet."

"Shut up grandpa, we don't care bout your non-career. Have you learned how to kick yet?"

 

[Glenno23]

Not good news, here's to a speedy recovery to get a full PS in him!

The kick that was on target all day from Junk Time Johnny.

Getting hit by a slow Truck can still damage ya.
Get back soon Kyle - Goodluck mate

No... nothing malicious - just taught by Matt Thomas...

every forward gets a knee up to protect himself, its taught for christs sake. Butcher didn't use his magic x-ray vision to bullseye Hartigan's kidney.

I've seen plenty of bigger impacts happen without so much damage, the one that immediately comes to mind is Tippett poleaxing that Saints bloke a few years back. That's just the difference between centre of the back and in the kidneys and Hartigan was coming back at an angle that wouldn't have helped either.

of course in saying that I'm sure Butcher wasn't too worried about hurting Hartigan, mind you I think Jenkins is the only forward in the comp who does spare a thought for the man in the hole.

that would be piss your pants funny.

hope Kyle is ok and recovers quickly.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Hope you get out of hospital soon Kyle

 

[Mattrox]

I saw the incident on the news tonight. Courageous act. Hope he gets well quickly.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

In a private hospital I take it

 

[Shoota Welsh]

far out this makes talia all the more important. if he goes down we have legitimately no big bodied defenders bar truck. luke thompson is not big. imagine truck vs tippett and thompson vs buddy.... would get destroyed

 

[Allefgib]

Get well soon kardigan. Get ready for next year big fella.

Given how poorly Butcher shoots, I doubt he'll become a father
