Naitanui ACL injury

[kane249]

Adam Simpson just confirmed it. This is not the same knee he did last time.

Poor guy. Did he say anything about if LARS is an option or not?

 

[nameless]

Just another really s**t thing that's happened to a great person who's been through a lot already.

Hopefully it's not 18 months recovery again.

 

[Old Stuckup]

FFS. Best wishes Nic Nat.

Don't know but even with LARS he's not back this year

 

[Upgrayedd]

Absolute shocking couple of years for the guy. While the eagles were playing well without him they will miss his grunt in the midfield when you need someone to win a contest on the deck

Hopefully he comes back to his best

 

[Jivlain]

Ah crud, that's terrible news. Easily my favourite non-Lions player. Absolutely love seeing him in action, incredible player and athlete. Best of luck to him with another recovery.

ACl's sick dogs balls .

Speedy recovery because he’s a champion. Won’t be too long before we’re enjoying him running around and leaving us in awe.

 

[Colonial]

Best wish to him and hopefully a quick recovery.

ACL's suck

Don't know but even with LARS he's not back this year

If they go the normal route would he be back this time next year?

 

[BigVic]

He's a champion ruckman. Best wishes to your recovery Nic.

Yep such a shame. Feel for WC fans, the group and Nic himself. Long road back now. But I have faith in him.

 

[Tiger71]

Hate it when injuries stop the stars playing.

Get well nat

I never felt so down after beating the second team on the ladder on their home ground.

Another footy player struck down by recurring knee/ACL issues. Unfortunately we're seeing far too many these days

Patto last week, Nicnat this week, and retirement because of persistent ACL problems.

 

[Pack Specialist]

The game is worse off without him.

Worth the price of admission alone.

I look forward to medical tech getting to the level that we hear commentary like this:


Dennis commetti jr : well thats oscar judd confirmed acl in the first quarter - we wont be seeing him till after half time

 

[dave123]

This is a brutal industry ...one inoculas jump....and you lose youre passion for a year...as in you cant play or go to work properly...

Hes such a nice bloke too....even when he was a suspended every player tweeted bull sh..t

Hes a great player and i hope this isnt end the end for him

 

[Snuggles]

A real shame that we are going to be deprived of seeing him action for another 12 months - the sort of player you love to watch in action. Hope he gets back better than ever.

 

[Godzke]

Sucks. Feel sorry for him. If he does come back from it then he'll need to shed weight because it sounds like his knees will buckle again if he doesn't.

Yeah gutted.

 

[KeilorUnder9s]

Do sport scientists know what a good knee looks like vs one that’s likely to have an injury? This may sound stupid but all knees are not created equal.
