Casualty ward?

I for one am pumped to see Nat play and hopefully keep his spot in the side with Radley moving to hooker.

Feel for Jake. Think his injury is pretty bad and given the way he plays defensively, it will be hard to come back from.

Definitely, seems Nat has been working very hard in the two first weeks for the bears...always a good sign when a forward is continually putting his hand up

I thought once the swelling comes down he'll be right to go? That's what Robbo said.

And Cooper Cronk had a rotator cuff injury in the 2018 GF. That’s what Robbo said

Jake's got a broken scapula?

Robbo didn't say that!

Lol.
Neck injuries that create nerve damage can end careers, ie Andrew Johns. Jake plays such a demanding position that it might be hard to come back from.
Have a look at the incident that ended Jakes game last week. Pretty innocuous really. Seemed to get a burner/stinger,, possibly lost all feeling in the arm. If that happens you gotta take it seriously.
There was a shot off him later in the dressing room moving his arm freely drying himself off that was a good sign.. but long life is more important

And on the scapula.. who here thinks Cronk isn’t over his ‘shoulder’ injury?
Me thinks the hamstring was a deterrent for the shoulder, ala GF

There's no doubt he gives his all. Don't know what his genetics are, but he'd have to be a candidate for a career somewhat shortened by always putting his body on the line. Hoping our medical staff can give him a few band-aids and keep the show on the road!

I don't think it's Coops' shoulder that's the problem. I believe it is the hamstring, and I do recall seeing pics of him with strapping on his hamstring. Possibly before Manly match?

Don't overthink things. Hamstring tightness in a player of Coops' age is nothing unusual, and the club is just taking precautions as it's early in the season. No point in him going out and tearing it in the early rounds.

Bruised back for Cronk. Apparently not related to the cheap shot from TPJ. That could be another week off for Coops

[roosterproud]

cronks hit he received by dikhead may have upset the scapular. looked very ginger after the hit and held his shoulder very similar to when he got the break. dikhead will get a fine and no time off. dog hit. shows how much he wont fit in here at our club.

Can't see how its not related. Looked like he almost got whiplash.

[The Skeez]

The Broncos knew it wasn’t his hamstring that was injured.
