Brooks' Hamstring Injury

[Talking_Tiger]

I was surprised to see Brooks come back so quickly from his hamstring injury and unsurprised to hear that he had tweaked it again. Hamstrings are notorious for re-injury and rehab needs to be managed carefully.

Who is in charge of the rehabilitation in our team? Is he/she competent? Do we need to take a more cautious approach with key playmakers return to play or do we just focus on getting our best team on the park in our quest to make the 8 this year?

How long will brooks be out , 2 to 3 weeks but what about our other injuries do we have any update after last night

The 8 is plainly way out of our reach, so there's no point in bringing players back too soon any more

Another unfortunate issue is that Luke has to be referred to as our key playmaker.

We do play a lot better as a team when Brooks is on the field than we do when he's off.

Hahahaa are they competent? WHO IS IN CHARGE HERE?

Let the club sort it out. Maybe in the past we had issues with repeated soft-tissue injuries but it's been pretty solid for a couple of years, let's just let the medic and rehab sort it out.

If you are super interested the club physio is Peter Moussa, he often gives video updates of player injury status for each round.

Maybe we should make a play for Robbie?

At least he has the occasional beauty. I used to be terrified every time Robbie threw the ball out Luke's direction. Luckily it was not too often.

Time to let go BBF. Robbie was great and can still pull out the occasional good game, but was let go as he had too much influence over the halves and the same for origin this year. Pearce will mow control .

 

[Byron_Bay_Fan]

Pearce in weekly tourney looks terrific but according to report I read his previous stint in SOO wasn't great so???

Only asking for sake of knowing not trolling.
Was Robbie's influence in not giving them enough ball? (when in my opinion they would stuff it up more times than not). I doubt it was the influence of leading by example because if they had his good traits in the game we would have been a lot better off. (sorry to admit but I loved his kick to corner against us whilst under pressure. On the day left MM's kicks for dead)

Can this thread hijacker be dealt with…. Every bloody thing comes back to Farah... It's obsessive

It was Larry who first brought RF up in the thread I was only responding so I could understand the game or other people's views better.

You're going to find yourself on mod preview shortly if this Farah crap doesn't end now. The thread is about Brooks hamstring - not your obsession with Farah.

So much delusion

Has the club given an update on his injury? Seems like there's been no communication on the issue or time frame for his return…

 

[Nucky_Thompson]

Does anyone know about Josh aloai injury?

The club hasn't said anything yet but, I would think it would be next week or the week after. It's starting to worry my how many hamstring injuries Brooks is getting. It's the 3rd year out of 4, since he debuted that he's had a hamstring injury. How many more before it becomes unplayable. Look at what happened to Michael Clarke. He undoubtedly makes our team better but, how many games are we going to get out of him? We can't afford to have a half that only plays 10-20 games a year.

Byron Bay Fan is either Robbie Farah or his brother Charlie. It can be the only explanation for his blindness when it comes to him. The fact he has just criticised Brooks is a good sign he is our former captain. Ripping apart young players was his modus operandi. Remember the day he tore apart Jacob Miller in the middle of a game.

It is worrisome, hopefully it won't get to the Michael Clarke stage…

 

[Club_Sandwich]

Hopefully it was just precautionary leaving him out last week. Here's hoping for the young fella
