Is Roo Hamstrung?

[Wallace]

Does anyone else get the feeling that the Roo hamstring injury may be more serious than we are being led to believe.

I stress I have no inside information so I dont know. However, I do get nervous when a club starts to continually put back a players estimated recovery time from a hamstring injury. Over the past couple of years a number of great players of a similar age have been struck down with prolonged hamstring injuries, think Buckley, Harvey and our own Ben Hart.

Does anyone on this board have observations from training/inside info? I am a huge Roo fan and I think a prolonged loss of arguably our greatest player would really effect our chances for a flag (see first final against the saints last year).

don't fret - it isn't that big of a problem

We need to get used to the idea of him not playing.

For a bloke who takes & hands out as much physical punishment as he does, his ability up to now to stay fit has been quite remarkable.

Groin.

It's his hamstring not the groin

Hamstrings usually take 3 weeks to heal and that time has not quite passed. I think he should be ok for Round 1, considering our match is 2 and 1/2 weeks away.

I hope he learns from it

Someone claiming inside info floated this on 5AA Supposedly serious and will
limit him to half a dozen games this year

Doesn't he just have the same problem that Benny Hart had in 2004?

No.

Benny had calcification in his hammy. A few chips of bone that were created by his tearing his hammy a few times by coming back early and then re-injurying it again...

Roo hamstring tendonitis. Basically an inflamation of hamstring tendon. 2 dufferent types of injuries.

I may be wrong but it may be more like Buckleys.

I think (and I do not know) that we may not see him for at least four or five more weeks at a minimum.

sure it would be great to have in on the field, but this is a great test for the team to play and win without him... im sure we have the depth to cover for roo... If we're playing great footy without him named for a few weeks and winning by great margins, them him finally coming back into the side is gonna rip a new one into the oppositions

dunno if ya get what i mean.... i had just got home from footy training and ive had a few beers

Buckley's was very similar to Hart's injury.
