How is it shocking?

Cerra was out for 3-4 weeks

They were all subject to assessment post bye

I think a couple were Round 13 (like Cez). But given the bye is the following week it makes sense that it’s post bye.

So, it’s two games. And one of them is in two days.

Imagine we got down to 5 on the injury list after the bye, with at least one of those being replaced by someone in the preseason draft.

Hamstrings are usually 3 weeks at a minimum. Being extra cautious potentially?
Cerra injured his hammy on the 9th May in rd 9 almost three weeks ago which was classed as a low grade strain according to the HP team. Now he's been reassessed at round 14 🤷🤦‍♂️

Repeat hamstrings injuries are serious regardless of the grade given. If it's the same area as a previous tear even excess tightness should see time off. Hammies suck once they go more than once in the same spot

Spot on, cautious approach is warranted
 
Hoping they take their time and get Cerra right for the run home. Critical for us in finals. Well, critical only if he is firing. We don't need a stressed player back worrying about re-injury during games. A bit like what happened to Treloar who stopped going 100%.

Hope not having him doesn't cost us top 4.

Hopefully they are trying something different.
 
Cerra, Cuningham, Martin to be reassessed at round 14. Shocking. Cerra must of injured the hammy again while in rehab
Please supply proof as to how you know that Cerra "must of" re-injured his hamstring in rehab.

I mean you wouldn't want to be known as a poster who just makes baseless statements on here.

Whilst you are at it (as requested previously) can you please give us some more information on your claim in early May about Zac Williams "Looks like he spat the dummy last week after being asked to play deep in defence.".
 
There is an additional benefit in saying reassess after the bye.

It gives clear guidance to the player that there is no need to push to be ready for a close margin time wise.

Players are trying to get back asap and will put themselves under more pressure/stress to be available rather have the extra time to rest and recover between sessions.

Long game being played although saying that Cuners seems like he is competing with Rhino O’Sullivan

Low grade hammy and he missed 6 weeks. Do the sums
