Ricky Henderson will have surgery on his knee and miss the rest of the season.

Henderson will have arthroscopic surgery on his right knee this week. The surgery is not expected to impact on his availability for the start of pre-season training

Disappointing way for Hendo to finish of probably his best season to date. Hopefully it isn't his last in the Tri-colours.

:confused:WTF

Can someone expand on this please?

Plenty of rumours swirling around he has requested a trade back to Melbourne

Heard it earlier this year and then got it from a source who knows Tex last week. Homesick. Was managing it, but something's happened at home during the year which makes it more important he goes home is the whisper. (and it's only a whisper)
 
Henderson is in the top 10-12 players on our list. I'll be devastated if he leaves because our club is shit at getting what a player is worth.

if a club does not offer us what we believe henderson is worth we can keep him and help him through these issues (if true) and re-asses at the end of 2014
 
Hendo is a key part of the second spike. His form as the extra man in defence was superb over the last month. We have had a fair bit of pain to get Hendo to 50+ games and we must keep him.

I heard something about a trade involving Mitch Robinson, and us getting Betts through FA. Like the Betts bit, please do not let the first bit be true!

Wouldn't be happy if he walked out on the club that plucked him from nowhere. There is no guarantee he would be playing AFL if the Adelaide recruiters didn't spot him at a basketball camp.

That would be disastrous trading.

Thankfully, Noble/Ogilvie are the only ones who have done a decent job in the last few years so surely it's rubbish.
 
When players want out, we NEVER get value in return. Our record on retaining good players in recent years is appalling. Hendo is a future star who is just getting to the experience level to make his talent count. I'll be dismayed if we lose him.

That is generally when players are out of contract. As Hendo is signed for next year we may be able to get something close to his worth, or we can refuse and he stays on the list

Why wouldn't we just take Betts through FA?

Reckon the Robinson talk is a Rooch rumour & taking the piss.
