Friendy might be out for rest of season

Jake lives alone?
With this injury now, that must change.

the injury has been there undetected for a few weeks, The Storm game finished it off.

What, lung bleeding?
It's a wonder he's still here.

Much better injury detection/proper diagnosis needed for our players.

Perhaps you should move in with him?

He lives with his girlfriend

He lives with his girlfriend

That's good.

He's in hospital in good hands...and his girlfriend will look after him when he comes home.

Freddy said 2-3 weeks out in the Manly v Penrith match.

Ah. Sanity from an unlikely source.

Jake is hardly on death's door ...

You don't know that. And Turkey - in particular - knows nothing.

I have just asked my wife about the condition . She is a very experienced accident and emergency nurse in one of Sydney's business emergency wards . The extent of the injury can vary depending on the context but she says he could be back in a few weeks . His health is of course our primary concern.

Yeh that's my understanding of it from speaking to my Mum who's a doctor & reading articles on the net about it all day . The recovery is the easy part it's the surgery required where a lot can go wrong.

Hopefully we get some good news soon and he's out of the woods.

Get well Jake, all the best for a speedy recovery, it's only Footy.

Chook.

Freddys mail is correct I got the same mail from a mate who's close to Dr Amir Ibrahim.

With all due respect to the medical professionals on here, including Dr Google, who are not currently treating Jake, my information comes directly from a family member. Not a mate of the next door neighbour's dog's psychiatrist.

All the best Friendy. Couldn't care less about our season when it comes to his health. I'm sure he will have a successful recovery and return to 100% in good time

[Roostarz]

Hoping for the best for Jakey, genuine nice guy and one of our best players.

As far as our season is concerned, best case we can hope for is a win in our first semi, a week off, and fingers crossed have Jakey back for the Prelim. Not getting too far ahead of myself, am I?

Pavlov perhaps? I'm not making light of Jake's situation and your cynicism is warranted.

As much as Jake will want to play this year the Roosters and Jake's family will put his health first. No one is irreplacable (admittedly in Jake's case sorely missed) but whoever comes in will play their role, everyone will still give 100% and most importantly Jake will be 100% healthy.
