Jack has broken his leg

[Broncoman]

We will be without Jack the ripper for at least a month :sigh:

[Dexter]

Really? I think it's been done.

 

[Nashy]

Really? I think it's been done.

I've just had a quick look, I can't find a thread on his injury.

 

[dukey]

Who should replace him?

 

[Dexter]

Discussed in the Warriors build up thread, my bad.

 

[Dexter]

Did he break it when he got hit late after the Whitchurch try?

 

[jarro65]

Beale to center, Maranta to wing.

 

[anzac7]

NOOO!!!! But they said it was definitely not broken! ! ! !

I say bring back that guy who covered for Reed in the last game vs Cronulla (can't remember his name, baby bronco). Otherwise Hurrel (or however you spell it) is going to run all over Beale.

 

[vertigo]

Doesn't matter who's marking him, Hurrell will run over anyone and carry two on his back.

 

[Alec]

I actually hope we give Copley a chance there. He's the one actually staying with us, and he's been in better form than Beale. Plus centre is his preferred position.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I also want Copley at left centre

 

[Coxy]

NOOO!!!! But they said it was definitely not broken! ! ! !

No, they said initial scans cleared him of a fracture, but he would have more scans.
More scans revealed he did have a fracture.

 

[anzac7]

Damn... I thought they were having more scans to check ligament damage...

 

[Nashy]

Maybe they were. Bottom line is, even if they were checking to see if his ass was made of gold. He was still found to have a broken leg.

 

[anzac7]

Hence the use of 'damn' because my hopes were just futile...

 

[Ari Gold]

Fracture is much better than ligament damage anyway. Rather this than an ACL injury.

 

[Alec]

Fracture is much better than ligament damage anyway. Rather this than an ACL injury.

Yep, definitely.

Ahh ok.. I had no idea. Should have known though as I tore all my shoulder ligaments playing rugby - at first they x-rayed and thought it was a break but then found it was ligaments, had my arm in a sling for ages and suffered for years, still comes back every so often but not quite as bad. Anyway, good to have him back asap but exciting to see what Hook can come up with in the interim too.
