Injury rules Hunt out for Broncos

[Super Freak]

I hope he is back for the double header.

I don't have any faith in us winning the game without him there.

Thaiday seems to believe that Hunt made it worse by making that tackle on Mitchell.

He could be right. But if he didn't make that tackle, Roosters score.

He maybe right that in doing so it made the injury worse, but really would you expect any less of your player or team mate in the circumstances to be willing to do so when still on the field? He should be commended for doing so because as shown so far this season, a potential sniff for points for the opposition has pretty put us under the pump too many times. The last two games are good examples of that.

I think he might be expected to make some sort of effort, but that tackle was courage, personified, no matter what you think of the rest of his game. Kahu has been out with a cork, and tevita with a broken finger. Hunt was on the field, and NOT wanting to be, with far worse, when he made that tackle. That's not to belittle the other players, but to put the act into some perspective.

It would be huge news if true.

Nikorima has done a commendable job holding down the fort, but he just isn't as assertive as Ben Hunt is on the field. Before his injury, Hunt was beginning to get back to his 2015 form and had a few people doubting whether Brisbane had chosen the right half to throw their support behind.

Brisbane threw their support behind both tbf. They just got massively outbid. No way anyone saw that deal as sanity at the time

BEN Hunt will take a major step in his recovery from a serious hamstring injury tomorrow.
While Hunt is still not due back on the playing field for a few weeks, he will return to training with his teammates at Red Hill tomorrow morning.
Hunt hurt his hamstring scoring a try in the 32-8 win over the Roosters back on April 6.
But the move to training back in with the main group is a major milestone in the Broncos’ halfback’s recovery.
“Ben is running well and is still on target for a return in round 13 against the Roosters or round 14 against the Rabbitohs,” said Broncos’ High Performance Manager Jeremy Hickmans today.
“But he will start training in a controlled skills session with the rest of the team tomorrow.”
Hickmans said James Roberts was recovering well from ankle ligament damage suffered in the Broncos’ last win against the Panthers.
Tevita Pangai junior is hoping for a return against the Roosters on June 3 after having surgery on a broken finger and damaged tendon.
Jai Arrow is on track to return against the New Zealand Warriors on May 27.
Arrow’s comeback would be timely on that weekend, with the Broncos set to trek to Auckland to take on the Warriors without several stars who will be missing because of State of Origin duty.
In further positive news, the Broncos did not have any injury concerns with any of the 10 players who represented the various nations over last weekend’s representative round.

Well, the cavalry is certainly starting to return.

Well, the cavalry is certainly starting to return.

We had enough of decimating injuries last year. Time we had some luck.

 

[Astro]

Having some depth has certainly helped.
