Rioli injury

[wallyt99]

Rioli sprent two months in the offseason in the Tiwi islands due to family reasons.

It's pretty clear his preseason was not great based on games early in the season.

Now he has an injury.

I don't blame him for taking time off... But should he have even been playing in the first two rounds?

Ridiculous post, it was a contact injury.

he's got a knee strain from losing his footing in the wet, it's not a soft tissue/fitness type issue, it's like saying Burton didn't have a great JLT shouldn't have played him against the Pies so he didn't roll his anke

Players lose there footing or place pressure on knees 100s of times a game. Usually knees go when the muscles around the ligament are fatigued and hence don't take the load.

Premise of this thread is faulty, but this may as well be remain for updates on Cyril's knee...

Please not a PCL.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Ligament injuries can’t be helped, they’re just sheer bad luck

 

[eldorado]

Please not a PCL.

GW said medial at 3/4 time

Or the direction of force cannot be mitigated by muscular control (as in this instance)

So how long does a medial keep you out for?

Medial 6-8?

 

[eldorado]

It varies, apparently...

Fingers crossed for Tuesday's BUPA report...

No Poppy and No Rioli is going to really hurt us.

I don't think they've been that important. We will give kids some games and be better for it

could play next week, be out for 2 months or anything in between

 

[Billy Bob65]

So how long does a medial keep you out for?

Just the medial with no complications - usually 3-4.

Guys heal at different rates though, so some guys get back within 1-2, some 6-8.

 

[Siri]

Grade 2 medial according to MMM via the HFC medicos ... if that means anything to anyone. Partial tear ... 6 to 8 weeks perhaps.

We'll take a cautious approach with Cyril id say, even if no surgery is required which is often the case I'd assume he'll be out for 4-6 as a minimum.

 

[HairyO]

So how long does a medial keep you out for?

Anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months. We will probably find out tomorrow afternoon after he gets scans and a surgery decision is made.

I'd imagine it means a guess without a scan

Grade 2 does mean partial tear and is always a hot topic as to whether you operate.. not the best news

Hugely important. Fwd pressure is a match winner these days and crucial to the way we play.

Rioli has been quiet and on current form isnt the hugest loss.. but Poppy is.

Grade 1 = stretched but not torn
Grade 2 = internal tearing (minimum 3 weeks I’d have thought)
Grade 3 = complete rupture requiring surgery

If the report is accurate I reckon Cyril will miss a minimum 3 weeks (though I wouldn’t be surprised to see him subsequently go through another mini preseason upon recovery given his interrupted preparation) but he wouldn’t need surgery.

Wagering heavily that Andrew Russell was in a better position to judge Rioli’s readiness to play than you were.

Puopolo did a hammy.
Should he have taken time off over offseason to avoid injury?

Stupid is as stupid does, Forrest!
