While I feel very sorry for Gifty and us fans, I just can't help feeling a little angry as well. This just seems like a stuff-up from start to finish.
From memory, he injured it against Canberra, came off, and was then allowed to go back on - stuff up no. 1
Next he starts running on it too early and re-injures it. If this was done under medical advice, then that's stuff-up no. 2
Now he needs more surgery. Is this because again, he was running too early, or the previous surgery didn't do the job. Either way, to my mind its another error.
This now means that one of our favourite sons hobbles off to another club without the opportunity to farwell the fans after playing his last game with us.
And of course, ironically, if this surgery works, then Souths get a refreshed Glen Sewart with probably a point to prove. Just great.
