He and Piakura hurt themselves at training. The latter looks to be more serious.

You would think they would be using a fair bit of caution with Pat after his ACL.

Double injury blow at Broncos. Pat Carrigan has jarred his knee and boom teenager Brendan Piakura has strained his hamstring. Broncos coach Kevin Walters is hopeful Carrigan will be OK for Cowboys derby on Sunday.
Piakura has terrible luck
yep poor bugger, guess going the 80 wasn't the best option.

He's proving to be a pretty shit buy so far. Seems like the club rushed to offer him big money well before he could offer any value.

I think it was his other knee he hurt today. I assume that caution would apply in this case. He has his whole career ahead of him and missing a club game or two to ensure his longevity probably wouldn't be a bad idea especially if he is sore.

He's got time on his side, but it's concerning how Injury prone he is.

From memory he was re-signed not long after Walsh left last year. I think the club panicked a bit as The Bulldogs were chasing him hard and the club didn’t want to lose another ‘young gun’.
Its a worry how little football he has played along with a couple of injuries, especially at this stage of his career.

Spot on, the stories were we've just lost Walsh now we'll lose Piakura then he was re-signed soon after with a 3 year extension.
Hopefully it shuts teething issue because he does have big wraps on him
yeah for sure, but dosen't sound major so hopefully not much time out
A lot of his missed games aren't injuries- ISC has been shut down for 25 games in the last two years that's not including finals.
Didn't he have a sickness at one point last season aswell?
I am not denying he's missed games, I have spoken about it a lot but a huge percent is things out of his control.
None of his things have been long term or structural injuries- he knocks himself out misses a Grand Final, he gets Covid, comp gets shut down.
That's just dumb luck that's not him doing his ACL three times.
