[Resurrected] Turbo in a Knee Brace

[deanm]

Rest him, We will get towelled up by the ref in Newcastle anyway , just like last year . Give Koula a chance at 1 as he will likely be there through Origin period.

During the game, the physio must have run out to Tom to have a look at his knee.

The physio has a look....hmmmm...this may be serious. He thinks, 'I'd better mentally prepare Tom, in case this injury is worse than it looks'.

The physio says, "Tom, you'd better brace yourself......."

Tom doesn't hear the rest, as the play is coming their way, and Tom rushes to get involved.

After the game, Jake says to Tom, "what's all that tape around your knee?"

Tom says, "our physio is a bit hard to understand sometimes..........says that I need a brace, but I have to put it on myself."

When the physio hears this from Jake, he just shakes his head in disbelief. He thinks, 'if they get a pulled groin muscle out there, I'm not saying anything..............'

MCL strain? I didn't know you coukd strain your MCL, I thought you could only tear or snap it?

I don't know enough about it but I would have thought any problem with the MCL should be taken pretty seriously...

as the body gets older and the mind lets it , they can also creak, moan, and at times pretend not to exist for 10 random seconds, when you carrying stuff or trying to strut it out like a boss.
also... what was the question again ?

Could be worse. Could be better!
Wonder if Weekes or Tuipulotu might get a debut, that would be a silver lining of sorts.

Gone for 4 weeks

With knights titans sharks and then south's

I think if we can win 1/3 and have a fresh turbo back for south's game I can cop that.

Not going to be easy could be very easy 0/4 over the next month. This is really going to test us

This period and origin will decide our season I think. I know it's being captain obvious but we lose a big chunk of games in both these periods without turbo I just don't see us getting enough wins to make the 8.

Big 4 weeks coming up

Could be worse - could be a hammy

Parker back into the centres and Koula to fullback?

 

[mave]

I hate to wish injury on anyone, but I hope Dykan Walker has that cork....cause Desmond will put him straight to fullback otherwise.

Sounds logical, but Des may go Garrick to fullback, and Koula to wing.

 

[Waz13]

Garrick will be fb for sure.

 

[eaglebuzz]

Not such a bad thing for the team to be honest, the rest of the side needs to lift and stop waiting for Turbo to dig them out of the hole they create by playing subpar football. All the more important this year because the game is slowing down.

That was my first reaction...but alas it's the 4th.

This will test us big time!

Great opportunity to prove all the doubters wrong. We must learn to consistently win when Tommy does not play. We are going to lose him around origin time as well so this is a good dress rehearsal. I would like to see Koula get a go at full back!

Decent article - worth a read.

Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL)Tear: Treatment & Recovery Time

An MCL tear is one of the most common knee injuries. It's damage to the ligament on the inner side of your knee. Surgery is usually not needed to treat it.

Maybe, but fullback is Koula's preferred position. If Parker is also out, Weekes may be called up. He was Turbo's fullback understudy during the off season & has been playing that position in the NSW Cup. This time tomorrow, we'll have a clearer idea
