Hurley

[rines]

Apparently injured for 3-4 weeks? Is this correct? Was he injury prone in juniour career? Why are our high draft picks not able to get on the park?

Any thoughts/knowledge of the above would be appreciated..

2 weeks i think, and he's just been unlucky so far.

The second one is an injury to his wrist i'm fairly sure, I think this is more of an accident that could of happened to anyone

His quad was probably just a youth sof-tissue thing; his wrist was, as bomberstbest05 said, just unlucky. Scaphoid bone though is notorious for being a bitch of an injury -- 1-2 weeks maybe, but the longer you leave it to get it right, the less likely you are to reinjure it and start all over again. So it could be 8 or even 12 weeks. (I'm no doctor -- going by BF/media rumours).

I think there was one injury concern in his U18 career, but I can't remember what it was (if it was), but I certainly don't remember it being a worrying thing.

The kid's gonna be a unit and a champion. The medical staff at EFC have been pretty damn good this year, and with new development coaching and Stu Cormack (or whatever his name is, the guy who made the Eagles a bunch of machines a few years ago) as our High Performance guy, Hurley's in good hands. Don't worry.
