Tragedy. Feel sorry for the bloke, has a heart like Phar Lap.

[The Axe]

What's the injury update?

[Headless Chook]

Wasn't it only a medial strain, that will only be 3 or 4 weeks max

[Easts75]

Depending on grading, yes could only be 3 or 4 weeks. However going on his body language though, doubt that would be the case. Fingers crossed

looked to be more than a minor MCL sprain, wouldn't be surprised if its a significant tear, if that's the case it moves into the 8-12 week range.

[The ticket]

Ribbo said medial in the presser so that is better than it might have been

Perhaps Aiden Guerra will have to return to the second row next week.

[Waerea-Beast!]

You can't use pain as a guide when it comes to knee injuries.

No, I don't see that happening because that would mean Jayden playing 80 mins at 6 which it appears they have deemed he is incapable at this stage of his development.

Out for the season :P

Nah I dunno...

He'd better because NRL fantasy don't seem to wanna make him a dual position player. I asked Scout why and he gave no answer...

If it is a sprain (grade 1) 3-4 weeks he will be back and possibly sooner.

A tear (grade 2-3) and you are looking at 6 weeks at the earliest for a grade 2 on the minor side of the scale.

Again pain isn't an indicator, I did a grade 3 (on the high side of the grade 3 which is a range of 50-100% of medial collateral ligament being torn through) tore the whole thing just about off the bone with an associated grade 2 (2 tears) playing touch last September and hardly felt a thing (as nerve endings torn clean off) other than my knee going sideways and I actually came back on at the end of game as we had only one sub (silly me but as I felt only a wonky knee but no real pain and was willing it to go away lol). The pain didn't kick in for me until hours later and my rehab was 6 months and still not 100% (specialists and physios said it will never be the same as before) and I play competitive sport and train at a fairly high level so I recover well for someone my age.

I'm hopeful it's a sprain as I read Robbo was more upbeat about it and the medicos can usually tell if it is a sprain or tear before scans but the scans will reveal and confirm the severity of the injury.

Fingers crossed he is back sooner rather than later.

Parkway i did a grade 3 MCL complete rupture 2 years ago. Was literally 12mths before i was squatting without pain, but mine hurt like **** when i did it.

[2026]

Send him to the USA asap

[Darkone]

Fark, totally freaked out about his injury

Have really warmed to him & his no nonsense approach

Good luck young man...
