Roo- last legs???

[Deep North]

He's had neck and back injuries and apparently couldn't see for an hour and a half after Rooke's bump (he'll get two for it-at least). Does anyone think he'll play on past this year- if he comes back at all?

Great player, great career, always liked watching him. Thoughts?

P.S. Plenty to smile about for both teams today. You guys were out on your feet and nearly got there. We were pretty ordinary (Ablett aside) and still won a long way from home (sign of a good team).

Good luck folks

Personally don't think he'll play on next year. Injuries have just been too cruel to him over past couple of seasons. I just hope that he retires and does it his way. I would hate to see another Ben Hart incident. I know it won't happen but let the man do what he wants. He is a champion.

No way he'll play next year.

Thommo for Captain.

He won't get two weeks for that, he was standing his ground. Just unfortunate for Roo that his injuries have been neck related.

Standing your ground doesn't involve running into a player picking up the ball and putting on a pseudo hip and shoulder, take another look there was no effort to tackle or get down low.
He might get sighted he might not.
Riccuito got hit with his head over the ball questions really should be asked, he hasn't shown any signs of the other problems really he just got hit.
Can't tell he has had a poor run of adversity lately.
This was a blow to the top of the head your neck doesn't effect your eye sight.

If he got hit in the head/neck, then it's to be expected that he may have suffered concussion and or double vision.

Just one of those thing, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
