Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

My point is I have had dealing with rugby leagues clubs and with rehab maybe 30 years ago ...but i understand how it works and the long and ardous process involved and how everything is a step by step process

And the fact that someone has already posted that almost the whole rehab team has been replaced for 2023 might actually support this argument

The original comment mentions that the player involved was doing jumping exercises and reinjured his knee ....which either means two things ...the injury hadn't healed sufficiently to do the exercise ...or the injury hadn't been sufficiently stretched or tested beforehand ......neither puts the rehab team in a good light

There was no mention whether he had even got to a straight line walking and then running routine .....( which is the 1st thing they start on once your knee can bend to 90 degrees ) and are more likely to stick you on the bike to get some mobility and get the scar tissue adjusting to the new exercises

Yes you always get some minor setbacks in an ACL recovery ...but when the original poster says he showed up ...was told to do some jumping exercises .........Jumping is probably Step O in an A-Z step by step process .......probably 4 1/2 months into a 6 month process ...maybe even later depending on your progress .....

And they were already talking ACL that night on Fox and the WT's were hoping it wasn't an ACL ....which in real terms is saying it probably is ...cross youur fingers and toes and pray ...teh actual delay in the process was Covid related if you might recall .....

You have to admit that when you have a cart available ...you use it .....you are talking about players worth around 500 k ......and this was our home game .....

Is this the right thread. ?
 
The rumours of Woods returning had me in shock. The way he left us years back was totally a disgrace and I personally would find it very very difficult to cheer for him. Surely I can’t be the only one…

The club is finally heading in the right direction, recruitment are doing exceptionally well. Why go backwards with this 1 signing. Brain Explosion.

Woods is dead to me.

Just stop.

For one final time, the devil is in the detail here and you don't have the nuanced knowledge of what you need to to criticise ('adjusting, probably, probably..), this is not an insult, it's simply a fact and it's ok, no-one expects you or anyone to be an expert in everything. However, just know that jumping exercises are a fundamental testing component of the process.

That's the end of it and imma leave it now.

We've already highjacked this thread enough.

There's signings dropping left, right and centre right now (almost too many signings to be honest) and we're in the way with this trivial argument.

I agree re Woods. He was captain - imo what he did isn't forgivable nor was it a mistake. It was a deliberate action. He and the other traitors knew the damage they were inflicting on the club.

I watched Woods quite a bit last year. No he is not the very good international player he used to be,but he shores up the middle defence. Not many of the big boppers run over him. Also his big frame takes it,s toll on the opposition defence. Also he does have an offload which is as rare as rocking horse shit in our side. For 1 yr on low dollars, a smart move.
 
If you are going to offer/sign players to $800k-$900k a year contract's you need to have plodders on minimum wage to average out the salary cap. Most of these players rarely play first grade. I'm no fan of Woods but if you can get an ex-Australian rep to fill a minimum wage role and that helps you offer someone else $800k - go for it.

There's a good reason that bears shit in him.

What ! Because himself and the other players were smart enough to get better deals, and leave a floundering mis- managed club. This is not 1960, How many top clubs bar Penrith have more then 2 or 3 that come through their juniors ? Loyalty to yourself and family and $ is what matters.

I’m guessing its the amount of $$ as to why no club has signed him for 2024. Newcastle would only let him go for 2023 if they need the cash to sign someone else. It sounds like Bateman is a good chance of being signed to the WTs for 2023. Hopefully we get both Klemmer & Bateman. Woods maybe for front row depth. I’d put J’offa, Steph, Pole, Twal all ahead of Woods. Still can’t have too many props as injuries happen and those that take the field need to be fit.
