McKinnon????

[tigergirlz]

What is wrong with him and when will he be back (really).
In desperate need of a safe 1 that can position himself in defense.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Had a knee strain I believe. I think he should be right this week. Precaution was taken as I think it was the same knee he had the reconstruction on in 2008.

 

[tigergirlz]

Thanks. Hope you're right.

I was under the illuison it was a Hamstring twinge or strain. McKinnon has a history of hamstring related problems. They reoccur if you've torn that particular muscle before. Due to the nature and positioning of the hamstring, it is always used be it through walking, running, sprinting, lateral movement, bending, squatting etc. Recovery is indefinite due to how it responds through rest and rehab. Depending on the severity of the strain, it could be 2, 4 or 6 weeks. I expect McKinnon to be named this week. Do I expect him to play? We'll find out Saturday evening

Can he wear a magic hamstring tape like the other players do?

I don't see why not. Now there's a thought :wink: No player at Wests has started using this 'magic' tape as yet. Perhaps McKinnon could be the first.

He should be right to go this week.

No need. Already got the magical power balance bands..

Half his former Warriors teammates do, I'm surprised he hasn't had a go. Rowdy tried it out on the Footy Show a couple of weeks back. Maybe it has the same credibility as the Power Balane bracelet.

I always loved the magic spray.

Player down. Wincing in pain. Trainer runs on. Player points to affected area. Trainer sprays from innocuous black cannister. Player stands up tenatively, tests limb, plays on.

Love it. :mrgreen:

Mckinnon twinged the Hammy but really needs a full off season with the club to overcome the injury.. before he came to the Tigers he was not playing alot of footy and all of a sudden he is playing at the full level..

i think ull find next year we will see a fully fit McKinnon

 

[tiga4eva]

We need Wade,Robbie,Benji and Lui to play 4-5 games together before we really start firing.

Exactly what im thinking mate

 

[Gobbs]

Yep. Cohesion, understanding and formula from the 1,6,7 & 9 is imperative to the side's attacking potential.

Me to.

We need some stability in these key positions so we can get the combinations firing.

 

[Spartan117]

With the Magical Hamstring tape he would look like AANG from -Avatar, The Last Air Bender

 

[Tigerpete]

A lot of people have criticised our attack because the numbers are down this year. Having an unstable 1-6-7-9 will do that. The more games those 4 guys play together the better although in the long term i do expect Moltzen to knock Lui out of the 7.

 

[tigergirlz]

McKinnon is the only fullback in FG we have that plays well both offensively and defensively. Ryan and Brown aren't the full package.

 

[Tigerdale]

he won't be playing this week :frowning:

and we've got 2 more years of his dodgy hammy's 'not responding well to treatment' and pulling out at the last minute.

hopefully beau gets the fullback gig…..he did a good job there before he got injured.

Lets just wait and see.
