Hello Mr Pot, meet Mr Kettle.

It's a big blow for us. I'd prefer that Cook got the starting spot over Worrincy tbh

I too reckon Cook is in front of Worrincy at the moment. I'd also like to see if any of the younger lads are up to first team yet like Elliott Whitehead.

Just read the report on Morrison's injury. Ruptured the ligaments in his wrist in the early minutes of the game and played the full 80. The guy is mental. All I can say is Chuck Norris' real name is Glenn Morrison

Didn't he do something like this before his last long-term lay-off? I'd be surprised if carrying on playing full contact RL didn't in some way worsen the injury.

Sheer stupidity IMO, putting his own ego as a tough guy before the long-term needs of the team. The coaching staff should have identified that he had a problem and brought him off. Who runs the team, the coach or the players? Reminds me of Matt Adamson insisting on playing in the 2003 CC final witha plate in his jaw.

Woh woh woh! Sweet child o mine! Steady on there!

You're making an assumption that he knew he'd done some serious damage. It could well have been that he didn't think it was all that serious, it didn't affect his performance.

Only a moron would fail to understand the difference between an average number of average injuries which any team can expect, and an unusually high number of extremely serious, long-term injuries, to key players, which is what happened to us. Genuine question: are you a moron, or are you just trolling?




If that's true, I appear to be performing a worthy public service.


Hang on. I made a general point, mentioning a simple fact about what was an appalling run of serious injuries. I wasn't talking to you, and don't even know who the fsck you are, though if "true bull" refers to you (as opposed to the content of your posts), then you already know. You've for some reason known only to you directed a sarky pop aimed specifically at me. These are the facts. You will note that despite you coming over as an y numbskull, my factual response is neither aggressive, nor (as an atheist) would I claim to be holier than anyone.

No, no, it's obvious. Morro knew he had sustained a serious injury, decided to play on to boost his macho image despite knowing full well this would put him out for months, the physios, coaches, club doctor, chairman etc. also knew he had a serious injury and that if he played on with it, it would put him out for months, but they failed in their duty to take him off, and/or he blatantly refused to come off.

Did I miss anything? These all seem like the obvious assumptions to me.

Maybe I over-reacted given the facts available. You would have thought the club doctor could have at least diagnosed him at half-time though?

If Morrison thought it was nothing, he may not have mentioned it.

Morrow does strike me as the kind of guy that thinks he could run off decapitation

Pumped up with adrenaline its quite possible that he didn't realise there was any long term damage. This is not uncommon and fellow posters who have been in this situation will back me up. Sometimes you don't really feel such knocks it till the following morning.

But without the analysis of trained professionals - its difficult to say how bad the injury appeared

Didn't he think he had cramp last year and was just trying to run it off, when in fact he'd managed to break something in his leg and pull the muscle off it??
The guys pain limit is crazy and along with adrenaline can mean that he probably just thought it was strained/sprained and because he was still playing and handling the ball ok he was fine to carry on!

Yeah. The guy is crazy tough

OMG. I thought somepody was taking the pi$$ when I read the title. Huge, huge blow. By far our best player so far this season, we are going to struggle even more and be without a real leader.

Guess it means someone else has to step up to the plate, I'm gutted as he's been immense this season but it gives someone else the chance to shine.

I guess this continues his run of injuries for us but i guess when he puts so much in, is it a surprise?

Well yeah. If we had 13 players who put in the passion and effort of Morrison we'd be in a better position than we are now

I think solo is back for the next game!

Hopefully he can try fill the void whilst adding a bit a flare!

Worrincy will do a job anyways! 2nd row is definitely a position i think we have cover for .lol

I can't think of any of our players more capable of filling a void as Solomona.

Worrincy is the future for me though. Just watch him explode on a dry track.

Literally? Wow.

He's a big unit you know. I bet hes gained weight during his injury. We could put him in between the posts and only Rob Burrows could get through

then all Sol has to do is sit down and Burrow wouldn't get up again. problem solved.

Agreed

Think we should give him a new deal for next year or will he be past his sell-by date?

IMO he would make a good assistant coach, help Macca find the dressing room again.

If he's gonna do a Sculthorpe and be injured for 70% of the season, then there's no point with a new deal, the money would be best spent elsewhere.

If he's fit enough to play though, we must want to sign him up. He's been easily our best player this year, so age clearly doesn't matter.

How you'd judge that though is anyone's guess.
