Packer & Reynolds

[izotope]

Shutup mimis your not a doctor, he needs to be medically retired!

Not sure if this is the right place for this. From the DT (Rothfield)

Russell Packer disappeared at halftime again and missed the Wests Tigers’ moving farewell tributes to Chris Lawrence and Benji Marshall at Bankwest Stadium last weekend.

It at first appeared another bad look after the prop and utility Josh Reynolds bailed out on the team at Brookvale Oval two weeks earlier.

This time, however, there was a legitimate excuse.


Packer was still suffering from the after-effects of a heavy concussion in the 50-22 loss to Melbourne Storm on the Sunshine Coast in round 19.

At halftime in the game against Parramatta, Packer — who was watching from the clean zone — had to seek medical attention from the club doctor because of a severe headache.

He was then advised to go home and rest.

“Russell is still getting headaches now (Friday) two weeks after the incident,” said his manager, George Mimis.

“The scan earlier in the week was optimistic but he’s low on energy and still getting the headaches.”

Mimis doubted the injury could be career-ending, although a medical retirement would suit the Wests Tigers and free up a much-needed $700,000 in the club’s salary cap.

“In 13 years of playing he’s had a number of head knocks but this is the first time he’s had issues,” Mimis said.

“I wouldn’t think his career is in jeopardy, though. “He’ll see a neurologist next week if the headaches haven’t gone away.”

Hate to say it, but looks like the wheels may be in motion.

I know it's awful to rejoice in another's pain, but...

Packer medical retirement :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes:

Then imagine if Reynolds somehow left too. That would be a game changer.

He will have to do less decoy runs to compensate fot the energy loss.

We can but dream.

Perhaps we should engage the Souths club doctor for a consultation. He might give our mob a few pointers.

Madge blew it a couple of months ago when he claimed that Russell has worked wonders to get his body right, claiming it was a credit to him... and with that comment our chances of medical retirement flew out the window

Insurance companies will not play games with head trauma.. if there is any sign of permanent issues they will pay out ! To avoid massive further litigation down the track as the NFL have experienced... when neurological assessments are being made there must be concerns!
