NEWS Lodge injury

[KnToad]

I’m seeing stories saying that Lodge has done his ACL and Haas is also injured and may miss half the season.
Can anybody shed any light on these stories??

Broncos prop Matt Lodge diagnosed with partial ACL tear, facing up to four months out

Drugs charges, Bali arrest... now this! But hope flickers in Broncos’ cursed off-season

Lodge has reportedly done his ACL ... having scans now

nothing reported about Haas

 

[porouian]

Nooooooooooo

 

[Broncapz]

What about the Haas part??

 

[Foordy]

p.s. in the courier mail there was a photo above the headline of Lodge talking to Haas at training... but nothing to say he was injured ... likely a case of someone seeing it and making shit up

 

[Foordy]

What about the Haas part??

there is no Haas part

 

[Donald Garner]

Jesus Christ. I’d just love a season where we don’t lose somebody important to a season ending injury. Is it just me or have we been extremely unlucky the past few years with injuries

Will be TPJ up front with carrigan at lock

 

[Broncapz]

there is no Haas part

Phew, I think we can cover no Lodge..but we NEED Haas.

Cleans up the rotation a bit. More minutes for TPJ, Carrigan & Joffa. Guaranteed 80 for Glenn & Fifita.

8. Haas
9. Turpin
10. TPJ
11. Fifita
12. Glenn (c)
13. Carrigan

14. Paix
15. Ofahengaue
16. Flegler
17. Bullemor / Kennedy

I like it ... although i'd be tempted to still start with either Ofa or Flegler in the front row and leave TPJ as an impact player from the bench

Carrigan starting 13, bring it on.

Flegler & Bullemor would offer plenty of impact off the bench, I wouldn't be starting with Joffa because he's likely the one who'll be spelling Patty at lock, but will also need to spend some minutes at prop as well. Minutes rotation would look something like this -

8. Haas (65)
9. Turpin (60-80)
10. TPJ (50)
11. Fifita (80)
12. Glenn (80)
13. Carrigan (60)

14. Paix (0-20)
15. Ofahengaue (30) - (20 at lock & 10 at prop)
16. Flegler (25)
17. Bullemor / Kennedy (10) (If not required, disperse extra 10 mins between Joffa & Flegler)

 

[Super Freak]

If medical staff have done hands on testing for an ACL injury and he has gone for scans based off that, it's very likely he has suffered an ACL injury.

His season is likely over.

If this is true then it is a good thing Perese got in trouble because our forward depth was already dire.

 

[Foordy]

NRL.com reporting that a Brisbane staff member told them that nothing has been confirmed except it is "definitely not a full rupture"

Not a full rupture but a tear, which is still a 6 month recovery minimum I believe.

Why, he wont be sacked until he goes to court
