SBW going for an MRI

[Hawkeye]

Considering its 31Oct and kick off is first week of March I woulod say he has plenty of time mate

Thats 4 months to get over an injury that is expected to sideline him for 2-3 months. As you say, he should have plenty of time to recover.

2GB radio news this morning;

"If SBW needs chest surgery then he'll be out of action for several months and will miss the start of the NRL season".

Of course he was always going to get injured play RU in Japan...and/or in boxing, therefore spoiling his major fanfare NRL return.
You could've bet money on it.
It's always the way, tempt 'fate', and she'll be happy to oblige.
Now look what's happened!

It's like all those home games we gave away to Darwin, Gosford, NZ...we lost most of them.
The goddess of fate obliged our dumb decisions.

He was always injury prone at the Dogs, and missed lots of games?

He was often injured in his teen years, like many others.

In 2005 he played 21 games out of a potential 26.
In 2006 he played 21 games out of a potential 25.

I don't buy the theory that he's injury prone. I'd be surprised if there's a League or Union player who has played footy as consistently as SBW. French Rugby Union, Japanese Rugby Union, Super Cup, ITM Cup, Rugby World Cup & a bit of boxing thrown in too if you don't mind. One shoulder injury and everyone who hates seeing the Roosters in the papers are trying to bring up the old injury prone line. I've never supported the signing but I find the injury prone claims the be baseless and nothing more than insecurities from other fans and media personal who are afraid the Roosters might actually go well this year.

I'm more worried about mental fatigue than how his body is going to hold up, he's a supreme athlete.

The problem for SBW returning to NRL, will be that his muscular lean body will suffer under the gruelling heavy impact and twisting from gang tackles. Most clubs are now re thinking their off season weights training, where they are focusing more on core strength and lower body power rather than upper body muscle building. These pectoral and bicep injuries are becoming more common with muscular players, our neighbors had their three most muscular players do their pectorals on three occasions during their careers, Geddes Asotasi and burgess have suffered numerous pectoral tears and bicep injuries. SBW has a dilemma, he has to keep lean and muscular for boxing but must also build up in certain areas for rugby league, it won't be an easy ride is my guess.

Ok. Thanks for that.

Can he tackle? [the shoulder charge looks like being banned]
The game has changed since he last was in it.

I'm not sure he's a forward.

[roosterproud]

weidler said sbw future in the nrl is in jepordy

[Muffdaddy]

too many 'ifs'. Lets deal with what we've got and who we've signed for 2013. Thats all folks.

[stephenj]

i like how he said, im still a rugby player ie he hasnt signed on to league yet so just f off and leave me alone?

[mightyrooster]

Yes. He was getting checked out by the roosters doc at headquarters today. He needs surgery and best case scenario is 2-3 months out with no physical contact in that time.

So what's worst case scenario Fred? 9 months is what Cockadoodledoo suggested. Could it be that bad?

Boxing match?

Bahahahahaha....

Yeah, you know. Boxing the sport...

Lol.

Yeah, I know it real well.

It just sounds funny when softies like you call it a "boxing match".

So whats it 'to you' what my opinion is of SBWalkout? He didnt just walk out on his club, he walked out on the game you follow and slapped you sqaure in the face. Enjoy that did you?

Hope all you like. If its so 'tired' to you, then you would have read all my posts and understood what I have said in the past. No, I am not going to say it again. Go back and read them for yourself and then be 'man enough' to admit YOU were wrong.

Looking forward to your next reply!

A slap in the face for me? You're kidding aren't you!!
I loved it when he walked out on the dogs and left that team is dissaray.
He walked out on the game...BOO HOO! Get over it you big girl!!
