Nup. No match fitness coming into the game, and the thought of moga coming back too early and re-injuring himself should be in the back of the medical staffs head. Worst thing would be him hurting himself during a game which would leave us one short. -

If Cordner heals quickly and was fit to go I take the risk as he is a genuine match winner.Originally posted by boogie

SYDNEY Roosters co-captain Boyd Cordner has described the moment he suffered a possible season ending broken ankle as "shattering".
Speaking exclusively for the first time since suffering the injury against Canberra over the weekend, the 21-year-old described the realistic chances of making it back on the field this season as "slim."
With the Roosters favourites to take out the premiership this season, Cordner instantly feared the worst.
"I knew it was bad," Cordner told Foxsports.com.au.
"My first thought was disappointment. I was shattered because I know we have a pretty good chance of taking it out this year but it all flashed before my eyes. I was really concerned."
The New South Wales State of Origin representative suffered the injury to his left ankle in the 65th minute of Saturday’s 28-22 win over the Raiders and had "tight rope surgery" on Sunday night.
"In the short of it, it is a couple of wires through the ankle to hold it in place so the ligaments can grow in the right place," he said.
The “six to 10 week” process to return to the field all hinges on how his ankle responds although the young back rower is optimistic of making a grand final berth should the tri colours make it to the dance come Sunday October 6.
"For the first couple of week’s physio and try to get it moving, mobility and that," he said.
"Then some rehab which is exercises and trying to strengthen it all up and basically it’s all up to how it responds if I am any chance of getting back."
An optimistic Cordner said he is normally a fast healer but when met with the prospect of missing the grand final, he was at a loss for words.
"I don’t know how to explain it, it would be torture," he said.
"I am aiming to get back around semi-finals time so maybe six weeks or maybe a bit longer."
Having only weeks earlier made his Origin debut, it had been largely a successful year for Cordner.
Reflect on 2013, the Old Bar Pirates junior had mixed emotions on what had been a breakout year.
"It has been a pretty positive year for me," he said.
"I achieved one of my main dreams (playing Origin) and also shattering at the same time with this injury but I just have to remain positive."

Would love to hear an update on his progress!
I would die a happy man if I am proven wrong, but I stated that we couldn't win the comp without Boyd, and boy did we miss him last night.
He's such a rare talent. A forward who gets stuck in and makes the hard yards when needed, he's a beast in attack, a shut down defender, and a courageous leader.
Not many forwards have his attributes.
Come back Boyd. I'll happily donate my ankle!Comment

I'd dare say he always "completes the one percenters". And straightens-up the attack. And stiffens the defense.
Get well Boyd!!!!Making Steve Naughton look like Vince Mellars...Comment

I thought I saw him on crutches in the background shots of the dressing room. I'm not in a position to know.
Can anyone confirmWritten and published on behalf of the Liberal Party, Queensland
