He trained all season with an injury and was not allowed to have it fixed. Now be needs surgery and is likely to miss a fair chunk of the pre season.
So he will be disadvantaged for sure
What?! Why?
With COVID there’s the risk players would be out from that plus at one point we had a few injuries in the back line. We had to use Hoffman who’s another development player so we couldn’t afford to have Bradley out too
It’s quite common for players to train and play through injury and have surgery at the back end of the season, happens at every single club
If he’s at roosters it happens immediately when he is not required (before the Parra game), if this is true only adds to my feeling that WT are being run by a second rate leadership.
I haven’t seen that happen. Players wait until the season ends to get surgeries, like I said it’s very common. Clubs don’t run the risk of not having players available if there’s games left still and they play through injury
His season was over when he wasn’t picked in the 21 for rd 20
He had surgery at the 16th October, or possibly beforehand according to his social media, so not that long after the final game. He would’ve had to see doctors, get his surgery booked in etc. so it’s not bad really
Yeah ok, thought he was still waiting, surely a development player needs a pre-season as much as anyone
Hopefully he is not out too long. Has a good frame on him maybe with some work could become a solid first grader, so hard to tell with the young guys sometimes
Madge has a record of getting the best out of young guys, being from that Bellamy system, it’ll be interesting to see how much we improve next year. I’d be extending Madge ASAP.
I'm not sure about that. The young players have gone backwards under him, McIntyre is the only one that has improved.
I've said it before he doesn't have Rusty to do his recruitment and Hartigan doesn't have Politis.
I can't see us improving unfortunately until we get a true man manager to coach this team
More than McIntyre, some improved some didn’t. More an indication of who’s buying into the coach and who’s suited to his coaching style and who’s not and needs to be babied a little more. Madge will have to figure out the balance of it all.
Who?
Brooks, Talau, Blore, Garner to name a few went backwards.
The truth is players talk and Maguire doesn't have a good reputation so recruitment is majorly affect. If we don't start well next season he'll be gone before the season is finished.
