OFFICIAL Simon Dwyer [Discussion]

This is awful! Just reading about this injury makes my hair stand on end. I hope Simon is ok and makes a full recovery.

It doesn't sound good.

 

[hammertime]

To add to this…. the doctor needs to be fired. Especially after all the other mishaps we have had. He should never have walked off, even if it was precautionary only.

Geez bad luck barb….egt well soon.
Can someone remind me what occured to cause this, I cant remember

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Terrible news, I wish him all the best for a full recovery.

We clearly ran over somebodys cat this year with injuries.

Simon suffered a brachial plexus injury as a result of a heavy impact collision with Bulldogs forward Michael Hodgson at Campbelltown Sports Stadium last Friday night in round 16 of the Telstra Premiership.

All the best for a full recovery Barb

Got his head in a very bad and awkward position going for an upper thigh tackle.

The hip joint of the opposing player contacted the neck/shoulder joining area and forced it against his own momentum.

That was my read on the situation

 

[tiger05]

I wish him the best. Good to hear he sounds alright though.

I had nerve damage around my elbow - it took years to heal.

 

[weststigerman]

That's awful news. I wish him the best of luck with the recovery.

 

[Golden]

This sounds career ending why do we always get career ending injuries?? IE McCarken Tuaki

 

[happy_tiger]

It could be permanent Hope it is not though Good luck with the recovery Simon Can the football gods [edited by mods] and pick on someone else for a while (Any team higher than us on the table would be nice)

Two injuries you basically never see in a competition happen to the same club in the same year. Pretty bad all around

 

[tigerdre]

Poor bugger :frowning: it really does not sound good & it sounding like it could be Tuiaki revisited again i pray not 😛ray:
& hope we see him in 2012

Has the club explained why he was allowed to walk off the fieild when blind freddy could see he could hardly walk?

 

[Mrs_T]

This is terrible! 😢 Poor Simon! Hopefully he will have a full and speedy recovery.

 

[innsaneink]

Humphreys on radio the next day saying he was fine to walk off reminds me of marshalls manager opening his big trap and stuffing his foot in it when he got charged with assault.
Amateur hour all round.

 

[TripleB]

Horrible news. Good luck Simon with the recovery and as everyone has said, forget about footy and get this better for the rest of your life.

 

[Flippedy]

This is a huge blow to the team and to a young bloke, who had a highly promising career ahead of him. All the best for a speedy recovery, Simon.

Come join the Wests Tigers and have your playing career killed off early :frowning:

 

[benji_da_gun]

It is terrible news. Hope Simon makes a speedy recovery.

FYI - I had this injury as a junior and it took approximately 3 months to return to a normal feeling in the shoulder/arm and a further 3 months to return to full strength. Whilst there's no guarantees with nerve damage, just thought I'd put that out there for those thinking that this might be career ending.

 

[Paris_Cobbs]

Al the best Simon, hopefully will see you back in Tigers colours next year.

 

[Guest]

Fingers crossed Simon makes a full recovery and we see him bigger and stronger next year.

Thanks for sharing that. I think we needed to hear something positive about this injury. Hopefully, Simon will return next year, bigger and better than ever!
