What’s worse, snapped leg or ankle??.. I’d suspect leg. Stevie J broke both ankles back in the day

That kinda makes sense because when he was been stretchered off I was watching them take him when the race (I sit above that area), and the doctor was supporting Ratugolea's leg with one hand while his other hand was under the sole of his foot/boot providing support - the way he was holding/supporting the leg & ankle it looked to be too try and minimise movement

Scott talks alot of s**t incase you hadn't noticed. Not having a go at Doc. Just giving my opinion.

Hmmm so what’s the best and worst case scenarios pending the scans naturally? We have Scooter who struggled for a few years with his ankle injury ...could it be like that too for Sav?

The two lower leg bones form part of the ankle. A broken ankle and broken tibia/fibula can be referring to the same thing. Don't assume a "broken ankle" is better than a "broken leg"

Club will report he suffered a slight calf strain, should be back soon.
But in all seriousness hoping he makes a full recovery - rotten luck.

It’s frustrating to see him go down tonight. He’s such an emerging talent with lots of upside. We must play Buzza now and hope he can be a force, but this also means one of Stanley or Smith will play ruck unless we use Blivcas. Is Taylor going to be back next week? If not we can’t afford to play Blicvas in the ruck.

Our only real big man hope and that leaves the team very susceptible in what has become a big man's game again. All we can do is wish him a speedy recovery and get him fit for next season.
So frustrating... When I saw him going at the contest I knew he had ****ed up. He was way too far behind to attempt a mark. Bad decision due to lack of experience combined with a very strong desire to compete and create a contest. Terrible to watch, wish him all the best in his recovery. Big unknowns ahead.

Scott - it’s a grey area, we’ll take a cautious approach, probably 1 week but he should be ok for finals!

Football aside... absolutely gutted for the guy. Wishing Sav a full and successful recovery.SavRat was injured in a contest -
A very brave SavRat gave the thumbs-up, acknowledging the support of the crowd. What a gracious guy!
Sav's right leg buckled under himself when caught at the bottom of a pack. He instantly felt for his right leg, just below his knee, after it was crushed at the bottom of a marking contest.
It's a huge loss for the team, SavRat immediately hit his groove in the team + quickly became a best 22 player.
Praying + hoping that Sav will recover + recover well, so he'll resume his career, as though he has never missed a beat.
Haven’t come away from a win feeling so disappointed as I do now.
So much upside and now we will never know what his full potential was.
All the best SavRat!

Forgive the intrusion - just wanted to also pass on how disappointed I was to hear about this young lad’s injury.
He looked fantastic for the Cats in our match earlier in the year, a real find. I can remember after the game Nic Naitanui posted on Instagram about his ‘Fijian Brother’ coming through the ranks, I don’t doubt Nic will reach out to Sav with a few kind words on the long road to recover, having just gone through a major injury himself.
Good luck to Sav, hope to see him back out there leaping high again sooner rather than later.

Cheers mate! While Sav is out injured can Nic Nat play for us please?
We can share - you have him Monday-Wednesday and we’ll have him Thursday-Sunday.
I broke my lower tib & fib just above the ankle,in a car accident
I had my leg below the knee in a removable back slab plaster for 6 weeks then about 3 months continued recovery.I'm the guessing that the ankle being the connector to the foot will be more recovery because of the number of joints and rotator cup ?
