Injury Blue Healers Discussion - 2025

[Jatz]

Better now than at the end of the season.

No panic stations here.

If Russell was still with us then the cacophany of cries for his head would have been catastrophic on here over the soft tissue injury to Walsh.

That’s because he was woefully inept at doing his job for the 6+ years he was with us.
If Innes is just as inept then let’s hope we make a decision a hell of a lot quicker than we made with Russell

That's a little dramatic. Hammys are normally 3 weeks-1 month. Really bad ones are 6 weeks. Keeping him on ice until round 3 would mean something has gone horribly wrong with Walshy, as was said by someone else.

We shall see... Hopefully they are honest..

+/- HP people are in a narrow bracket of competence

1996/7, struggled for 2 years with back injuries and was never really the same

Christou had a bulging disc issue. If I recall correctly, he recently said he didn't have surgery at the time and regrets it now.

Still has time to build back up before the start of the season

4 weeks is a solid lay off for a hammy.

Correct. Spent a month in hospital to restrict his movement (had plenty of visitors). He couldn't even get in or out of a car!

not really. Pretty standard now.

Expect to see Walshy back running in 12-14 days and build up into full training by end of Feb.

Plenty of time.

He's a racehorse and has proven he can impact straight away off a limited / rehab prep.

Not ideal, but gives Rob Inness and new medicos a first hand look at Walshy’s stressors, as opposed to anecdotal info. Plenty of time to redeem fitness levels before the season proper.

There is no such things as injuries, just new biometric datasets. Rejoice!!!
