Shingles rash?
I learnt all about shingles last month. Had a rash break out on my right butt cheek and extend into my crack, butthole, groin and old fella. Initially I thought a spider had got stuck in my jocks and bit me everywhere! I was waddling around like a duck for over a week. Nightmare. Frick shingles.

Argh! Nightmare!

Post-herpetic neuralgia is no joke; can ruin lives with unrelenting chronic pain. Totally recommend anyone who thinks they have shingles to get to their doctor asap because it can be treated in the first 3 days!!

And also recommend getting the shingles vaccine as soon as eligible, even if you’ve had shingles, as for some reason, an infection doesn’t boost your immune system much, so you can get it again 😨
 
Maybe I'm an optimist, but I'm perplexed by the doom and gloom I've seen online regarding Darcy's trip to Doha this week.

He's just ticked the boxes to be implemented into main training, why would we send him at a time earlier than this? If you want a biomechanist to review him, you want him as close to full fitness as you can get him so you can actually review his biomechanics. So this seems like an ideal time.

No point reviewing a man hobbling around on a knee recovering from surgery.

Listening to Joe Brierty live, it didn't sound like spin to me, but the journos were pushing for a headline. Darcy was always a chance of not playing round 1. Nothing to see here.
I agree. I see a fit Darcy as one of our key elements to a successful season. He has middled around half fit and hampered by knee injuries the past two years. Then complications like soft tissue injuries linked to the knee injury.

When out of the team LJ plays primary ruck and it has occurred so often Jackson has been injured and banged up.

They are leaving no stone unturned to get him fit not just for round 1 but for the majority of the season.

Darcy is clearly taking his fitness and diet thing very seriously and looks to be in the best shape I’ve seen him. From all reports training well and being gradually built into full training which he is reportedly about to resume. Seems good timing - with public holiday coming up, which usually results in an extra day or two break for the players. So not going to miss too much training.

For mine I see it as a positive. The bloke he is seeing did some good work with Chapman.

My sympathies are with you.
Bad luck you didn't get to the doc within 24 hours.They have a vaccine;);) that cankill it off.
Also they are, I think ,,free shingles vaccines.
I was fortunate when mine broke out, Things didn't feel right,Even got bells palsy on the left hand side of my face>Would have been a lot worse without the vaccine.
Yours must have been horrendous,

A classic case of suffering in your jocks.
 
Imagine looking like that …..at 21!?
Ridiculous!!
After having a knock to the kidney, where he loss weigh.
He means business. He looked so annoyed and frustrated at times in 2024 getting pushed around and held in marking contests. Good to see he’s learning off Pearce, who’s no weakling

I reckon he's going to have some fun paying back some of those bullies.
